Based on the details of an FCC exhibits listing, Wyze may soon have a smart bathroom scale to add to its smart home gadget lineup of security cameras, sensors, and lights. The “Wyze Scale” will run off of 4 AAA batteries, connect to the Wyze app over Bluetooth, and measure both weight and body fat percentage. According to a report by Zatz Not Funny!, a Wi-Fi smart plug may also be in the works.

Internal photos show a seven-segment LCD display for displaying that weight and body fat percentage, and the manual claims such measurements are accurate to within 1.1lbs and 1%. Other details, like if it might be able to sync this data with third-party health platforms, is not included. The scale will work with devices running Android 5.0 or iOS 9.0 and later.
It’s possible (if not outright likely) that this smart scale is simply a rebadged white-label device akin to its previous security cams. The hardware looks very similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Smart Scale, and previous Wyze cams have held similarities to other Xiaomi products.
Unlike the Wyze Scale — which we have plenty of information about, courtesy of the FCC — the Wi-Fi…
