Hume Body Pod vs DXA vs Unique CF586BLE+WIFI
I will be adding more data comparing the BodyPod to the CF586BLE+WIFI side-by-side for various BIA markers.
The FCC filing for the Hume Body Pod platform is FCC ID 2AVEN-CF577, granted in November 2023, and it is clearly a filing for an electronic scale with BLE + 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio hardware. The same filing as the NEXPURE CF586BLE+WIFI and Unique CF597BLE+WIFI.
The FCC filing illustrates that the Hume Body Pod scale is a rebranded scale from Shenzhen Unique Scales Co., Ltd., as is the NEXPURE scale previously sold at Walmart.
That said, the teardown of a 2AVEN-CF577 is not the same as a Hume Body Pod; namely because the filing covers about 100 various models. https://device.report/shenzhen-unique-scales/cf577 The teardown of similar scales by Shenzhen Unique Scales (CF516BLE) proves these are pretty simple devices and the guts are a simple board and sensors. It is left to the reader to decide if the Hume asking price of $229 is reasonable compared to the asking price of a Unique CF597BLE+WIFI of $19.90/ea. Nice 10x profit margin for Hume.
