Bathroom scale options? (lemmy.world)

I've had a fitbit wifi bathroom scale for a while. Getting the data out got suddenly more difficult when Google bought them, and I didn't love giving that data to google. It's finally died, and I'm looking at replacement options.

In a perfect world, I could just go to a store and buy a "HomeAssistant Ready" scale. If I can't have that, I'd like a scale that is on my local network and exposes the last x weigh-ins as an API on the device, then I could write something to poll it.

I haven't seen anything like those, but have turned up:

a project to decode the bluetooth transmissions of a number of scales (after you build an ESP32 device for it)
the Withings cloud based scale, but with a well documented API

Any other good options?
