WiiScale-EmailRelay Goal: To use a WiiFit Balance Board as 'Smart Scale' and have it automatically sync with FitBit & Apple Health. With a little patience, and some tweaking, you can turn that old Wii accessory in to a wireless smart scale that syncs with your iPhone!

At some point during all of this you might ask:
- Q: "But, the WiiScale app has a spot to login with FitBit, why can't I just use that?"
- A: Well, you could-- at one point. But it no longer works, and it appears the app is no longer being developed... this is a great alternative to continue, or start syncing with FitBit.
