Purpose of this app? about miband-notifier

[chrisvella]

@1337sup3rh4x0r I'm not a developer, but I use the app daily.

The purpose of this app is to allow other application notifications to be sent to your band. The official app does not have this feature (although I think you can install some sort of unofficial patch...).

There has been discussion about miband notifier handling the connection to the band (why the official app still has to be installed). Concerns about firmware updates are the main issue with this idea. However if you can code a solution, I would be very interested/happy to test!

Miband notifier will not meet your needs if you intend to use it strictly as a fitness tracker. Check this app out: https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge They say they intend to add mi band support in the future.

Thank you for explaining and hinting me towards gadgetbridge!

I have also found the App OpenBand https://github.com/UgoRaffaele/xiaomi-miband-android by the same author as this app here. Looks promising and I will test.
