Companion application for the Huami Amazfit Bip, Cor, MiBand2/3 and GTS

***PLEASE READ BEFORE UPDATING TO 0.9.0***

Version 0.9.0 requires sailfish version 3.0.3.8 or above due to changes in the base sailfish image

Powered by KEXI

As of version 0.5.1, actiivity data is retrieved into an sqlite database.  Becuase I think it is important to allow individuals to be in control of their own data, and that they should have the ability to analyse it themsleves, I have chosen to store data in a KEXI compatible database.  This will allow you to copy the database from the phone, and open it up inside KEXI on Linux/Windows/Mac and perform queries and reports on it.  This added ability means i link to a couple of KDE libraries, which should be installed automatically.

Firmware Download - READ FIRST - I am not liable if you brick your watch ;)

Read this for info about which files to flash https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfit-Bip-Firmware...

App has been tested using an amazfit bip and GTS, downloading the latest (0.1.1.45) official firmware.

The firmware is split into multiple files on these devices.  With the official MiFit app, all are downloaded at once, and everything works fine.  With this app, you have to send each file individually.  The firmwares are available by extracting the MiFit apk, and looking in the assets/ folder for files named Mili_chaohu.*.  When you select a file, its type and version will be determined, and you will be prevented from sending invalid files.

The firmware (.fw) requires a matching fotn (.ft) and resource (.res).  Send the firmware first, the app will send a reboot command at the end of the transfer, and the watch will boot up into a mode where it needs the matching font and resource sent.  Just wait for the app to connect again, then send the font and resource. 

The following types of file exist:

firmware, resource, a-gps data, fonts

So, to re-iterate, the firmware flashing order is:

  • .fw
  • .ft
  • .res

Amazfit GTS

Beta support for the Amazfit GTS includes activity data sync and sports sync (GPS). No support for downloading FW or watch face, an no support for sending weather data.  GTS requires a server-side pairing key which requires inital pairing with an android device.  To get the key, follow the instructions here and enter into Amzafish when prompted, WITHOUT 0x at the beginning.

https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Huami-Server-Pairing

MiBand 2/3/Cor

These devices are untested and use the Bip backend.  Should be safe to try and FW download should not be allowed.

Pairing Issues

Pairing works for myself, sometimes I have to try twice.  If pairing doesnt work at all, then try:

  • keep the app open, and pair again in the BT settings page of sailfish
  • in the sailfish BT settings page, delete all entries and try again
  • turn off/on BT on the phone
  • factory reset the watch

Check if after all this, pairing works from the sailfish BT settings page.  It should pair and connect just fine from there.  f that doesnt work, my app wont either.

Not all features currently implemented

***May not work on all devices***

Uses Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate with the watch, this is known to be problematic on some devices.  it is known to work on the Xiaomi Mido.  Probably also works on the FP2.  Official devices unknown.

Implemented

  • Pairingfrom
  • Notifications
  • Calls
  • Some settings
  • Retrieving activities
  • Heartrate Chart
  • Alarms
  • Watchface download
  • Firmware upload
  • Activity Sync

Todo

  • More Settings
  • Support other devices (maybe eg MiBand2, as it is similar)

The Cor is also claimed to be working, but as i dont have that device, i cant test it.

Tip:
On your device, create a symlink in /home/nemo to /home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-amazfish
This way, you can easilty copy the database off the phone using MTP.

Credits to:

  • The rockpool devs, as i borrowed the call handling code handling code from them
  • The gadgetbridge devs, which gave me a lot of hints and inspiration from their device code.

Tried the new version now one week. Connection and real-time data (cover) are fine. Weather was also fine after some time. Data in data base are still wrong as shown in the screenshots on github. Please let me know when you need data or logs.

Thanks, I´ve got still connection problems, still dropping, so I want to try to debug. But I have it connected via ssh and got command ready and today it is working flawlessly few hours. Now I disconnected ssh, so I´ll see.

After restarting the watch and re-coupling it works also for me now. Thanx, fast and a great work.

for me rebooting solved the connection/auth issue (with GTS, on Xperia 10)

 

btw. is it possible to get the "Find Mobile" feature, as I kinda misplace my phone way too often

Thanx for the new version. Unfortunately it does not work for GTS and 0.0.9.12. The error message at the watch is still the same. Connecting to the clock does not work, unpairing and repairing results in a no-reply dbus error. Please let me know if you need more data, e.g., another Android BT dump. I am still using the "old" key since the BT address did not change.

Hi, according to Gadgetbridge ticket, the huami-auth-experiments fixes the connection issue for the GTS with FW 0.0.9.12. I don't know if using the gadgetbridge code can help to fix the same issue in amazfish.

Great to see the GTR being supported now. Based on the mentioned support I ordered one yesterday and received it today. Did the Android steps, used the python script (small issue regarding a module missing; fixed that installing pip3 and the rich module).

Had some "issues" pairing, but after pressing the "start" button this worked. Bit confusing to see the watch listed (having entered the auth key) but being unable to pair. It may be a good idea to write out the procedure in more detail.

As I can see the number of steps for today, it's clear the two are talking :-) 

Great job!

Thanx for this great app, very useful. It was working the last weeks with my GTS. I was so happy.. This was true until the latest firmware 0.0.9.12 installed by the Amazfit app today. Connecting does not work, there appears also an error message at the watch that the app should be updated. It seems that the protocoll was changed. I would aporiciate solving this issue very much.

Thanx for the quick reply. The description following your link fits to my case. Got the log via BTsnoop when Amazfit was connecting to the GTS, 33kB. How do you want to get it?

Hi there, first of all, thanks a lot for the app. It's really useful.

I used it for 2 months with a miband2, and now I'm using it with a BIP without any difficulties.

The only issue that I have is setting up the notifications. I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand, please. I'd like to choose which apps send notifications to the smartwatch (e.g. Telegram yes, Whatsapp no, phone calls yes, email no, etc...) but I can't find the option to do so. Any advice, please?

Hi Piggz,

thank you for the long awaited GTR support. Coupling works great and steps etc are transferred to the phone. Notifications do not work so far - watch shows notofication that the app  has to be updated. Is this the current status?

Hi, on Saturday was at last some time to fiddle with watch. 
I paired my Bip succesfully, but still disconnects randomly. So I decided after an advice on TJC to reflash Bip firmware to 0.1.1.4.5 which is tested (before there was latest 1.6.4.8. version), according description here. I used Amazfish version 1.5.1.1. Disconnecting was much better, not too often as before. Then I updated on latest amazfish version and it seems to be okay now. Sometimes it disconnects (but I don´t know why, my phone is all the time in my pocket and watch on my hand), but almost everytime it reconnects in 2 minutes back. But another problem appeared - every notification on watch is displayed twice. Is there any solution?

So, I tested multiple firmwares and Amazfish versions, still problem with dropping connection. But in another FW there was no problem with multiple notifications. So I don´t know what to do next. I am thinking about getting rid of those watches, it cost me much time and still it is not working properly :'(
