Oura is smartring that can track both steps and active time. Oura syncs its data via Health Connect on Android and Apple Health on iOS.
How to Connect
To add Fitbit to your activity sources:
1. Tap Activity Sources in the game menu from the lobby or gameboard
2. Tap Pair a New Source
3. On the next screen choose I use an app on my phone, then select Oura in the list of apps and tap Select this App
4. Now you’ll need to grant access to your health platform. Tap Grant Access, then allow all the permissions on the pop-up that appears (scroll down to see them)
Health Connect (Android)
Apple Health (iOS)
5. Oura needs to be set up to sync its data to your health platform in order for your steps and power to show up in your banks. Follow the appropriate guide below, then confirm that you did so in A Step Ahead
Health Connect (Android): Guide here
Apple Health (iOS): Guide here
6. A connection test will run to ensure data is flowing between Oura and your banks. If there are any issues you’ll be notified, otherwise you’re ready to go!
How to Log Exercise
Oura will automatically detect exercises while you wear the ring, but you can also manually add activity in the app. See Oura’s guide for more information.
Troubleshooting
My steps or exercise aren’t being added to my bank
There are two major causes of syncing issues for Oura:
- A Step Ahead doesn’t have the correct permissions from your health platform
- Oura is not set to sync its data with your platform
To fix issue 1, check the App Permissions for A Step Ahead in your phone settings and make sure all requested permissions are set to Allow.
To fix issue 2, follow one of these guides to setup syncing:
How do I manually enter steps?
Oura does not support manually entering steps, so make sure you wear your ring when you exercise.
How do I get power?
Workouts tracked in the Oura app and exercise passively recorded by your ring are transferred to A Step Ahead as power.
