on the UUID_CHARACTERISTIC_BATTERY characteristic. This is a first try at addressing #71 Please note that this will probably not work at this point, but it's worth a try. To make it work probably we have to tell the device to send updates, and we don't know how to do it. |

How to use (Mi Band)
-
When starting Gadgetbridge and no device is visible, it will automatically attempt to discover and pair your Mi Band. Alternatively you can invoke this manually via the menu 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 with all three LEDs 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" item to connect if you're not connected yet.
- To test, chose "Debug" from the menu and play around
Known Issues:
-
Android 4.4+ only, we can only change this by not handling generic notifications or by using AccessibiltyService. Don't know if it is worth the hassle.
-
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.
