Yes, you can use one source to count steps and another for cycling.

Full answer

It can take several minutes for the step data to be transferred to TK-Fit. Unfortunately, it takes a little longer for cycling data to be processed; around one hour during the pilot phase. We are already working on an optimisation.

Full answer

After being called up from the data source, cycling data are processed to give a daily total. For this reason, it may take longer for the data to be displayed.

Full answer

Yes, you can change data sources at any time. The TK-Fit Challenge will continue to run. In order not to compromise the current week of the TK-Fit Challenge, data from the last two weeks will be called up from the new data source retroactively. The weeks which have been completed are not affected.

Full answer

There may be a number of reasons for this. The selected data source can be reconnected either in the Settings or on the detailed pilot phase page. If that doesn't help, change your data source.
