'''Your Hume device works with Loopa through your phone's health hub.''' Weight, body fat percentage and the rest of your body composition reach your Loopa dashboard, trends and reports the same as any other measurement — they take one extra hop to get there.
You will find this under '''More''', then '''Hume Health & Others'''.
== Why it works this way ==
iHealth, Withings and Oura each publish a connection other apps can use, so Loopa signs in once and pulls from them directly. Hume Health doesn't offer that.
Your phone already closes the gap. '''Apple Health''' on iPhone and '''Health Connect''' on Android are shared places where health apps hand measurements to one another, and Loopa reads from both. The Hume Health app writes there, so Loopa can pick your readings up.
== How to set it up ==
'''Weigh in as usual.''' Your Hume device syncs to the Hume Health app over Bluetooth, exactly the way it does today.
'''Let Hume write to your health hub.''' In the Hume Health app, open '''Connected Apps''' and turn on Apple Health or Google Health Connect, whichever matches your phone. Your weight, body fat percentage and other body composition metrics are written there.
'''Turn the same source on in Loopa.''' Open '''More''' → '''Apple Health''' (or '''Health Connect''' on Android) and allow Loopa to read body composition. Your readings start arriving.
That is the whole setup, and you only do it once.
== Two things worth knowing ==
'''Readings arrive shortly after a weigh-in, not the instant you step off.''' They travel through your phone's health hub, which passes data along on its own schedule rather than the moment it lands.
'''You grant permission in two places.''' The Hume Health app needs your permission to write to Apple Health or Health Connect, and Loopa needs your permission to read from it. Both stay under your control, and turning either off stops the flow immediately. See [[your-data-and-privacy|Your data and privacy]].
== This works for far more than Hume ==
Any device whose app writes to Apple Health or Health Connect reaches Loopa the same way — a great many scales, bands and rings already do. If you own something that isn't on the list of direct connections, check whether its app can write to your phone's health hub. If it can, Loopa can read it.
== More direct integrations are coming ==
As more health device manufacturers open their APIs and make direct integration possible, Loopa will add them. The list of devices you can connect will keep growing.
