Scales are getting smarter: several options for floor and kitchen smart scales
Virtually every person at home has a bathroom scale on which either the whole family or one is weighed. It is quite convenient - you can follow the change in weight, weighing before and after exercise, or before and after the party (but it’s better not to do so, the mood falls :)).
However, it is possible to follow the weight change in this case for 2-3 days. If you do not keep a log of measurements, all numbers are forgotten. Smart scales, which are becoming more and more popular, will show dynamics for at least a year without any problems, plus such devices can monitor the implementation of the goal to lose weight by a couple of kilograms. What smart scales can the smart device market offer now? ')
Fitbit Aria WI-FI
The Fitbit company releases not only fitness trackers, but also other smart devices. Fitbit Aria WI-FI Smart Scale scales do not only allow to determine weight, but also to track detailed dynamics, with analysis and long-term forecast of changes.
Scales are synchronized with the Fitbit cloud service, where measurement data is sent. After analysis, the information is displayed in a convenient form for viewing, graphs and charts. You can view data from any mobile device connected to the web. A review of the results is another useful function that motivates a person to achieve the set task.
The watch is equipped with its own display, which, in addition to the measurement results, displays the battery charge level and the signal level of the wireless network.
For each family member, you can create your own profile, and when measuring the weight, Fitbit Aria will automatically recognize the person, fixing the data in his profile.

If the user has any other devices from iHealth, then the general measurement data can be viewed and compared in your account.
The developer positions this device as a body analyzer. Scales not only measure the weight of the wearer's body, but also know how to determine the pulse and even monitor the quality of the air in the room, with an assessment of the ambient temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide.
Measurement data is transmitted via the wireless Wi-Fi module to the “cloud” and the application on a mobile phone. In the "cloud" a detailed analysis of the measurements is carried out, with the derivation of the results of the analysis in an easy-to-understand form. It is worth noting that third-party developers are releasing applications for scales. By the way, these scales also have a Bluetooth module, which is used to configure the device.
As usual, scales can determine the body mass index with the percentage of adipose tissue.
The maximum measurement limit is 180 kilograms.
The price of the device in the Russian Federation is 7999 rubles.

findings
As we see, in the market of wearable devices there are a large number of various models of wireless smart scales capable of coping with the most unusual task.
