## 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.
|
|
|
|
1. Configure other notifications as desired
|
|
2. Go back to the "Gadgetbridge" Activity
|
|
3. Tap the "MI" item to connect if you're not connected yet.
|
|
4. 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.
