How to Connect Garmin to Cadoo: Setup Guide
How Garmin Works With Cadoo Today
Cadoo does not connect to Garmin directly today. Cadoo reads your daily steps from Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. If the Garmin Connect app writes your steps there, those steps count in Cadoo step games. A direct Garmin Connect integration is coming next. Pushups, situps, squats, pullups, dips, and planks are counted by CadooVision with your phone camera, so those games need no wearable.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Download Cadoo from the App Store or Google Play and create your account.
- In the Garmin Connect app, turn on step syncing to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android).
- In Cadoo, allow access to your steps in Apple Health or Health Connect when asked.
- Join a step game and move as you normally would.
What Counts Today
Steps from Apple Health or Health Connect count in step games. Cadoo does not read runs, rides, swims, or sleep from Garmin today. Reps are counted by CadooVision.
