How to connect Zapier and Withings

I'm here to ask whether someone can give me a lecture on connecting Zaiper and Withings in order to achieve my purpose.
In case someone could give me some advice or even full guidance to achieve this, the purpose is something like this.

Purpose:
Making a system to never fall back to sleep

Description:
After a lot of thinking, I reached the conclusion that I need a system, not my will, to not fall back to sleep because when I wake up, I'm not disciplined and can't control myself. Thus, I need something automatic to keep me awake. And, I came up with this concept, a system that rings or alarms if I don't keep standing or sitting wherever I decide to stay during the time I planned before I go to bed, but this function will stop working after the duration. To make it clear, let me give you an example. Let's say I want to wake up at 4:00 a.m. Then, I set up an alarm at 4:00, and to make sure I'm going to be awake enough, I set up a duration time, for example, for 20 minutes (this is customizable). And when the clock hits 4:00, the system automatically turns on and if it doesn't detect me being on it, it starts and continues to alarm until I step on it and stay for the designated time. But, the moment I step on it and the system detects me, the alarm will stop alarming, but I need to STAY there for the amount of time I decided to stop the alarm, not just step on it. This point is crucial because just ordinary alarm that ONLY wakes me up isn't enough to keep me awake after waking up and if I can't achieve it, I tend to fall back to sleep. If this system can automatically start to count down the time I set up once I step on it, rather than me setting up the wake-up time beforehand, it's so ideal because again, the point of making this system is to keep me awake, not just wake me up.

Requirements/Desires for the system:
The duration time is customizable.
The system can immediately detect me and send a signal to alarm or stop the alarm.
The system can automatically start to count down the time I set up once I step on it, rather than me setting up the wake-up time every time I go to bed. (ideally)

This is what I want to do, and when I asked about this to AI, it suggested connecting Zapier and Withings, and letting Withings detect whether I'm staying on it or not and send the signal to Zapier, and programming Zapier to do the alarm pattern prompt. Initially, it suggested IFTTT and Withings, but I realized it could be hard for this app to do such a complex system. So, I decided to use Zapier and try to connect them. Why Withings? According to the AI(Gemini), it can detect and send a signal whether I step on the scale or not. And, I've tried so many times and so hard and spent more than a couple of hours following AI's guidance to connect them, but I couldn't connect them because I have never learned anything about programming. Even though I begged AI to give me the simplest and beginner-friendly guidance on this mission, I resulted in that I had to give up although I didn't want to. (And, honestly, I'm not even sure if this system can be built using these two.)

Can anybody help me on this? I desperately need help!

Thank you for reading and sorry for long and complicated explanation. If anyone have questions, feel free to ask me.

Hi ​@Shohei 

Available Zap apps can be searched here: https://zapier.com/apps

Each Zap app integrations has a profile page that lists the available triggers/actions and help links.

Withings does not have a Zap app integrations.

This is rather a complex process and will likely take a bit of trial and error.

I think instead of a Withings scale, something like the Govee Smart Button Pressure Sensor might be more in line with your needs.

For your alarm, I’d probably do a Kasa smart plug with a regular old-fashioned alarm permanently set to “on”. ​@Mercology may have more info on how you can integrate this directly with Zapier. They wrote THIS POST a while back.

Have the smart plug activate at 4am (either via a Zap or Kasa’s own app).

When the pressure sensor is activated, call a webhook to Zapier that tells the smart plug to turn off and then delays for X minutes.

Call the Govee API (you will need to use code here, as Govee doesn’t have a native Zapier app) to get the current status of the pressure sensor.

Use Paths so that if, after the delay, the pressure sensor is not still activated, you turn the smart plug back on.

Note: probably obvious, but to be sure I’ve said it, if you live with any family or roommates, this could get very annoying to them very fast.

Additional Note: Are you SURE you can’t just use a snooze button or a Clocky robot?
