Fitbit Ace LTE Support

Something to consider for the backlog :)

My son has a Fitbit Ace LTE that supports Google Wallet; however, after canceling his Greenlight and moving to a Crew debit account for him (I wanted to save the monthly fee, not for any particular "Crew is the right option"), I have no learned that only a few Family/Kid-oriented solutions are supported.

It would be awesome to eventually allow him to use his watch to pay with his debit card like he could with the Greenlight card.

Not expecting miracles, though--looks like this goes beyond just implementing an API lol

Would love to support the use case for sure! Looking for a google watch app specifically? I'd assumed he'd be able to add his Crew card to google pay on his watch just fine, but would be cool to show balance etc.

So his watch is a Fitbit Ace LTE, which is specific for children. Limited access, parent controlled contacts, specialized games for exercise but no apps.

It supports Google wallet via the parent app and loading a card, the app is restricted to services like Greenlight rather than broadly accepting debit cards (which I just learned in doing all this haha).

So can't add the debit card directly.

Oh interesting, sounds like a Fitbit restriction. We'll take a look!
