What permissions do I need to give to Alexa on my Fitbit Versa 4


To enable Amazon Alexa on your Fitbit Versa 4, you need to grant several permissions. Here's a detailed overview of the process and the permissions involved:

1. Initial Setup: Start by opening the Fitbit app on your phone and navigating to the Today tab. Tap on your profile picture in the upper left corner, then select your Versa 4 device from the list of available devices. Tap on the Amazon Alexa icon and proceed with the setup by tapping "Sign in with Amazon"[1][2][4].

2. Amazon Account Login: You will be redirected to a login page where you need to log in to your Amazon account or create one if you don't have it. This step is crucial for linking your Fitbit device with Alexa[1][2][4].

3. Permissions: After logging in, you will be prompted to allow Alexa to access certain data. This may include:
- Location Permissions: Alexa can use your location to provide more accurate responses, such as weather updates or local information. You can choose to allow or deny this permission based on your preferences[1][2].
- Data Access: Alexa might request access to other data like heart rate, profile, or weight. You can select which data you want to allow Alexa to access or deny access altogether[1].

4. Finalizing Setup: Once you've customized the permissions, tap "Allow" or "Deny" based on your choices, then tap "Continue" and "Close" to complete the setup. After this, Alexa should be enabled on your Fitbit Versa 4[1][2].

5. Using Alexa: To interact with Alexa, press and hold the side button on your Versa 4 to open the voice assistant menu. You can then use voice commands to set timers, check the weather, or control smart home devices without needing to say "Alexa" before each command[2][5].

6. Disabling Alexa: If you want to disable Alexa, open the Fitbit app, go to your profile page, select your Versa 4, tap on Amazon Alexa, and then tap "Logout" to disconnect your Amazon account and turn off Alexa[1][2].
