IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE WIKI, do so on codeberg.org The wiki on github.com is a read-only mirror, as is the git repo itself. Issues and PRs will move to codeberg summer 2019, if you want your issue/PR comments migrated properly, please create a codeberg acount before we will migrate.

Gadgetbridge

Gadgetbridge is an Android (4.4+) application which will allow you to use your Pebble, Mi Band, Amazfit Bip and HPlus device (and more) without the vendor's closed source application and without the need to create an account and transmit any of your data to the vendor's servers.

Please this wiki article

How to use (Mi Band 1+2)

Invoke the discovery activity manually via the "+" button. It will ask you for some personal info that appears to be needed for proper steps calculation on the band. If you do not provide these, some hardcoded default "dummy" values will be used instead.

When your Mi Band starts to vibrate and blink during the pairing process, tap it quickly a few times in a row to confirm the pairing with the band.

Configure other notifications as desired
Go back to the "Gadgetbridge" activity
Tap the Mi Band item to connect if you're not connected yet
To test, chose "Debug" from the menu and play around

Known Issues:

The initial connection to a Mi Band sometimes takes a little patience. Try to connect a few times, wait, and try connecting again. This only happens until you have "bonded" with the Mi Band, i.e. until it knows your MAC address. This behavior may also only occur with older firmware versions.
If you use other apps like Mi Fit, and "bonding" with Gadgetbridge does not work, please try to unpair the band in the other app and try again with Gadgetbridge.
While all Mi Band devices are supported, some firmware versions might work better than others. You can consult the projects wiki pages to check if your firmware version is fully supported or if an upgrade/downgrade might be beneficial.
In order to display text notifications on the Mi Band 2, you have to install a font on the band.
