Understanding Smart Scale App Integration
Smart scale app integration means that a bathroom scale can send your weight and body composition measurements to a smartphone app, so you can view trends over time without keeping a paper log. With aiScale Max, this integration works through the aiCare app, part of the AIHNET connected-health ecosystem. After a one-time setup, aiScale Max can upload each measurement to aiCare over your home Wi-Fi, making it easy to see your history in one place.
What Is aiScale Max?
aiScale Max is a smart body composition scale from AIHNET. It measures weight and provides 14 parameters, including BMI, body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, and heart rate, as listed in the product manual. The scale has a weighing range of 0.10–180 kg and a graduation of 0.05 kg below 100 kg and 0.1 kg at or above 100 kg. It uses three AAA alkaline batteries and has a maximum load of 182.5 kg.
How aiScale Max Connects to the aiCare App
aiScale Max uses Bluetooth for initial discovery and Wi-Fi provisioning. During setup, you connect the scale to the aiCare app via Bluetooth, then connect it to your home Wi-Fi network. After that, the scale can send measurements directly over Wi-Fi, without needing your phone nearby or the app open. This means you can step on the scale and have the data appear in aiCare without extra steps.
Setting Up Your aiScale Max with the aiCare App
To get started, download the aiCare app from the iOS App Store or Google Play. Create an account or sign in, then follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. Place the scale on a flat, hard surface, insert the batteries, and put the scale into setup mode. In the app, select aiScale Max and follow the prompts to connect via Bluetooth. You will then be asked to connect the scale to your Wi-Fi network. Note that aiScale Max requires a 2.4 GHz or mixed 2.4/5 GHz network; a pure 5 GHz network is not supported.
Everyday Use: Weighing In and Viewing Data
Once set up, using aiScale Max is simple. Step onto the scale with bare feet and stand still. The scale will measure your weight and body composition, then upload the data to aiCare over your Wi-Fi connection. You can view your latest measurements and history in the aiCare app, which organizes your data over time. The scale can store up to 100 history records, so even if you don't check the app immediately, your recent measurements are saved.
Understanding Your Data in the aiCare App
In the aiCare app, you can see your weight and body composition data presented in a clear format. The app helps you organize and view your health information over time, allowing you to track changes and spot trends. aiCare brings together data from supported AIHNET devices, so you can see your scale measurements alongside other health metrics if you use other AIHNET products.
