Gadgetbridge

Gadgetbridge is an Android (4.4+) Application which will allow you to use your Pebble or Miband 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.

Features (Pebble):

• Incoming calls notification and display (caller, phone number)
• Outgoing call display
• Reject/hangup calls
• SMS notification (sender, body)
• K-9 Mail notification support (sender, subject, preview)
• Support for generic notificaions (above filtered out)
• Apollo playback info (artist, album, track)
• Music control: play/pause, next track, previous track, volume up, volume down
• List and remove installed apps/watchfaces
• Install .pbw files
• Install firmware from .pbz files (EXPERIMENTAL)

How to use (Pebble):

1. Pair your Pebble through the Android Bluetooth Settings
2. Start Gadgetbridge, tap on the device you want to connect to
3. To test, chose "Debug" from the menu and play around

How to use (Miband):

• With older Miband firmware (e.g. 1.4.0.sx): Add your Miband's MAC address manually (Settings -> Debug)
• With newer firmware that supports pairing, pair your Miband through the Android Bluetooth Settings

1. Configure other notifications as desired
2. Go back to the "Gadgetbridge" Activity
3. Tap the "MI" device to connect
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 Miband sometimes takes a little patience. Try to connect a few times, wait, possibly quit Gadgetbridge before connecting again. This only happens until you have "bonded" with the Miband, i.e. until it knows your MAC address. This behavior may also only occur with older firmware versions.
