I'm using a Basis Peak activity tracker to track my sleep...I love that is automatic and seems to be very accurate. I'm really getting a very clear picture of how much I am sleeping. 

I love Sleep as Android for its interface and useful information, and sleep cycle alarms.

I'm trying to use the two of these great things together, via Google Fit. 

Having a few issues though. 

First of all, I was able to import data from the Peak into Google Fit....sort of. 

For awhile I was able to see data from the peak, but only on days when I didn't use Sleep as Android for tracking sleep. On those days, the Sleep as Android data would override the Peak data. This was problematic because the Peak data was actually more accurate than Sleep as Android in my case, because I turn off the alarm and the tracking stops....but I'm still sleeping! Unfortunately, SaA doesn't see that extra sleep.

So I would love to use just the Peak data for tracking, but still use Sleep as Android for sleep cycle alarm if that is somehow possible.

Thanks for this amazing app...really gives me a window into my sleep.

Hello, thanks for the kind words!
You can use Sleep as Android just for the smart alarm. You can either:
  1. Disable the Fit backup, so the cloud values wouldn't get overwritten. Maybe this will go, but if you want to import the Peak values into SaA, this is not the way.
  2. Use "Battery saving mode". When you start sleep tracking, in the menu you have the option to "Save battery". Tap on that to track just the last +-45 minutes for the smart alarm to work. This will create an empty sleep record nonetheless and frankly I'm not sure whether it would overwrite the Peak data on Fit or not. So please try that and if it does overwrite your Peak data, we'll dive into the Fit integration code and check what can we do.


Thank you very much.

Best regards,
