Why does my smartwatch count steps when I am chopping vegetables?

Our answer

Change the affected device or automation to explicit/manual settings, switch off duplicate pairing or automation, update firmware and test with just one connected controller.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
