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

## 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:
* 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.
