Hacking the GR101 revisited (see [0]) or:
How to convert the raw impedance reading from a GR101 to percentage body fat and percentage body water - by Ap15e
Definitions:
raw_impedance: data from GR101
BD : Body Density [kg/m^3]
FFM : Fat Free Mass [kg]
Wt : Weight [kg]
Ht : Height [cm]
Z : Impedance [ohm]
%fat : percentage body fat [%]
%water : percentage body water [%]
Constants (best fit to formulas for data from a spreadsheet publicly available, see [1])
impedance_factor = 39.198
hydration = 0.728895
Formulas for males and females
Z = raw_impedance / impedance_factor
%water = ( Wt - %fat / 100 x Wt ) x hydration / Wt x 100
Formulas for males
BD = 1.100696 - 0.107903 x Wt x Z/Ht^2 + 0.00017 x Z [Tanita Corporation, see [2]]
%fat = ( 4.57 / BD - 4.142 ) x 100 [Brozek, see [3]]
Additional formulas for percent body fat:
%fat = ( 4.95 / BD - 4.5 ) x 100 [Siri, see [3]]
%fat = ( 4.374 / BD - 3.928 ) x 100 [Schutte; for African-Americans, see [3]]
%fat = ( 4.86 / BD – 4.39 ) x 100 [Wagner]
Formulas for females
FFM = 13.96674 + 0.348613 x Ht^2/Z + 0.168998 x Wt [Tanita Corporation, see [2]]
%fat = ( Wt - FFM ) / Wt x 100
Notes
The formulas for males (Brozek) match the values on the remote display to a high degree
(error is < 0.5% for %fat and < 0.3% for %water for the data from the spreadsheet).
The formulas for females yield higher errors. There is insufficient data in the spreadsheet
for further analysis.

Limitations
RFXCOM claims that the RFXtrx does support the GR101 (weight only), but at least for my GR101 my RFXtrx (firmware v50) doesn't get the weight right. Workaround: None - please request a bugfix from FRXtrx if affected.
RFXCOM's RFXtrx currently (firmware v50) does not support the decoding of the impedance. Workaround: None - please request it as a feature from RFXCOM if interested.
Tanita's formulas might be patented. Therefore, the plugin for the GR101 is only available as DIY-ware: You have to insert the formulas of your choice into the plugin yourself ...
