Hi Carlo,
## TLDR - Maybe made the fitbit component support multiple devices. (see disclaimer and instructions below!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
## Long version...
I've been looking in to sleep monitoring and was looking at getting fitbits for my other-half and myself, but it's only any use spending the money if I can monitor us both with homeassistant. As such, I did a bit of research and saw the various threads that show the current component is only working with one device. So, I decided to have a look at amending it. Problem being, I can't test it because I don't have the devices to test it on, and I'm not buying the devices until I know it works.
## Disclaimer
I am not a python programmer, I'm just learning the platform now, but I get the logic so I've fumbled through! It appears to be working as far as I can test it without the devices here. If this breaks anything I'm really really sorry! Make sure you follow the instructions below for some safeguarding!
## Instructions
1 - Make a backup copy of your current fitbit.conf somewhere away from your homeassistant instance.
2 - Delete your current local copy of fitbit.conf, and add this PR to your custom_components folder
3 - Change your configuration.yaml (or appropriate package/include) to:
```
sensor:
- platform: fitbit
filename: carlo.conf
- platform: fitbit
filename: wife.conf
```
plus whatever monitored conditions you want and your clock preference if relevant.
4 -Restart homeassistant
5 - You should get a configurator card for the two entities, copy the contents of your old fitbit.conf in to carlo.conf , sort out the details for your wife's in to hers.
6 - Let me know!!!
## If it all goes wrong
Delete this custom component, reinstate your original fitbit.conf, revert your configuration.yaml (or appropriate include/package).
##Disclaimer 2
If it doesn't work, I might not be able to do much more as I am not a python programmer, but let me know because it might be something I can work out.
If it does work I'll get another couple of people to test and then submit it as an update for the integrated component.

Custom Components. Comstimes I use them for temporary fixes to existing components. Sometimes I use them to extend functionality with niche components other people have written but haven't merged into the main HASS branch. Either way, a great way to extend the power of Home Assistant
