A new xdrip bring Amazfit GTR2, GTR2e, GTS2, GTS2e and GTR42 support

Posted bybigdigitalPosted inAmazfit, xdrip

I’m glad to announce a new version of xdrip which brings Amazfit GTR2(GTR2e)  and GTS2(GTS2e)(not well tested at the moment) devices support.

Watchface for GTR2e

It was not easy to make such integration because there were no watcface editors  for these devices.  So at first, i would need to create an editor. After reverse-engineering a lot of standard watchfaces I’ve understood the watcface format and  made a watcface packer/unpacker and watcface editor for the second generation amazfit devices. The editor  was shared here https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1798 .   After some time, SashaCX75 made a GUI for the editor https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1888

So now people can easily create their own custom watchfaces for these devices. 

To create watcfaces for these devices i actively used the new features available on the second generation devices (system fonts and dynamical object rendering). By using these features i achieved super fast watcface uploading, which takes seconds. The watcface uploading almost not noticeable now. 

The watcface for GTR2(2e) also support AOD(Always on Display) feature which can be enabled on the watch settings. This feature allows you to always display your glucose data on the watch screen. 

By default, these watches have a vibration that happens after every watch face uploading (like it was on the GTR and GTS) but luckily, on the second watch generation, the vendor made an option that allows disabling this vibration. Everything you need to do is to open Settings menu on your watch. then go to Vibration and disable System vibration option.

Note

When you activate workout on the device, it is impossible to update watcface on the watch.

Amazfit GTR42 support

As a bonus was added Amazfit GTR42 support. But this device has the same disadvantages as GTR47. It has a slow watcface uploading time (about 15 seconds) and there is no way to disable vibration after watcface uploading.

Watchface for GTR42mm

The xdrip configuration remains the same as for other Amazfit devices, see my article on the blog . 

As always, thanks to everyone who supported this project.

        1. Feel free to support Artem on his Patreon account, perhaps that speeds up the development. But asking a developer who does all of this 4 free in his private time about the due date, is perhaps a little bit rude. Dont rush him, hits done when its done.

  7. Hi looking for a tester with an GTR 2e to test a different watchface.
    You would have to insert these 3 files into the xdrip folder and enable custom watchface in xdrip settings.
    https://github.com/twinko/GTR-2-WF-Xdrip-EN/tree/main/01-WF-MD225-Version3-xdrip-ready
    Watchface should look something like this: https://github.com/twinko/GTR-2-WF-Xdrip-EN/blob/main/01-WF-MD225-Version2/Preview3.gif

    Be aware, i didnt received my watch yet, so it was never tested before. It could result in a reset of the watch/xdrip or worse (even though i doubt that). And this watchface is ONLY for GTR 2e!

    Things that im interested in:
    1. how long does it take for the watchface to apply (need the exact seconds).
    2. a picture would be great, because i had some trouble with the alignment of some information.

    You can post your feedback here:

            As I am new on Amazfit (was on Wear OS before my Ticwatch Pro died in sea), I am disapointed that alerts from xdrip (as notification) are not managable (no alert is managable, they are just static), i mean I can’t mute(or confirm) the alert (high/low glucose) as it was possible from WearOS. Is there any solution?

          If you have trouble getting your Blood Glucose under control, sell your T-rex and buy one of the other supported devices (either by artem or xdrip). Moreover you should talk to a specialist. The watch alone wont solve your problem.

    1. Hi, yep, at the moment there no way to disable it, it is automatically initializing if there no graph item. I’ll change this behaviour so it would be possible to disable graph by removing “graph” item. Meanwhile you can try to set xy position for graph so it would points to the position outside of the canvas.

    Great work. What a star. I have activated (Sync settings/be Master for followers) on my sons S9 so I could follow. It linked up and I could follow on my phone. But it then stopped sending to the Amazfit band5 that went back to the standard watch face. Do I need to change any other settings to have both working? Ver. 0.5.3 (31.08.21).

    1. Hi GTS is not supported, only GTR,GTR2 and GTS2. The first GT series was not very suitable for this project because they had a non-switchable vibration which was after every bg reading. Also, the watch face uploading was very low. I recommend to buy miband, it is very cheap a functional. But iff you like GTS design, you c upgrade to GTS2

    1. Hi. At first, please make sure you use the latest modified xdrip from my blog and not the official xdrip version. If yes, you need to recheck the authorisation code. Maybe try to unpair, and pair again your watch in patched zepp application. After this go to xdrip miband settings, switch off the mind integration option, clear auth code and mac address fields and enable integrations again. After this, your watch should be found automatically and correct authorisation code should be autopopulated.

      1. Artem, confirm that you had a reason, my Amazfit GTS 2, perfectly connected with your version XDRip, while I was impossible for me to connect with the last official version.
        In principle, use a WF performed by me following the instructions. It worked well, but it was something heavy comparing it with the WF that comes from the XDRip. I will try to improve my WF for GTS 2 and try to pass it to @Twinko to have it in the WF Collection so that others can use it as well.

        Thank you very much and I wish you a Happy New Year.

    I have a gtr2e working fine with your xdrip and a watchface(nº15 from the watchface collection) ,i plan to change this watch with a gtr2 because the extras of this model. The question is ,is the same watchface compatible with gtr2 ? I see all of them are for gtr2e ,but dont know if they work too on a gtr2. If not , any link to gtr2 watchfaces .

    1. Should be compatible. but cant tell you 100%. But this is basically the same screen, so i dont see why it shouldn’t work.

      Just a personal question, why do u want to swap? gtr2 has lower battery life, the 3gb data storage is useless because you need your phone anyway to have xdrip working, so you can just listen to music from your phone and the voice assistant, really not sure what to do with that.

      BTW feel free to post questions that are related t the watchface collection, directly in github in the issue section of the collection.

But i noticed the watchface system is DANGEROUS¡¡¡¡¡ I just noticed you can get as “updated” ie 10 minutes ago (last hour updated in watchface), but value isn´t¡¡¡¡ I was stucked at 250, checked watch, last read 10 minutes ago… and by some issue, the watchface wasn´t update (I was in 90 when updated the read, manually, because 250 was a value from one hour, and in fact, I injected insulin thinking I was 250).

    by some issue, the watchface (standard included with lastest watchdog version) mark as update some minutes ago, but it fails and value isn´t real. This is very dangerous¡¡¡¡ The “last read” hour must be checked, and if fails to update, the time cannot reflect as “read”, must remain ie 1 hour ago, and then y ou notice some issue.

  47. Hello to everybody! Please, can anybody help me with Amazfit GTR 2 integration? I am lost :(.

    I obtained auth key, installed WatchDrip+ to my phone, unlocked dev mode in new official Zepp app but here, for GTR 2, I am not able to download WatchDrip+ to my GTR 2 – error: “bluetooth channel is not available”. I spent 3 days of trying but with no result. I will be grateful for any advice.

    Also in WatchDrip+ on my phone I see watchface offered to download but after download bar hits end nothing will happen. Watchface is not in the GTR 2 watches.

    PS: I have original xDrip app, I saw, here on blog, information that the fix for Amazfit devices is in official xDrip already ant it is not neccessary to use Artem’s mod of xDrip. Is it also true for GTR 2 or not?

    PPS: Please, how can I install watchfaces on GTR2? I found some package on github but I donť know how to install. I though maybe WatchDrip+ in phone will offer me some but not. Is it way to download via PC and put some files to memory? Where, please?

    PPPS: are there some special settings in xDrip or API broadcast is enough?

    Many, many thanks again.

    PPPPS (:D): Also I have GTR 3 now and there are different problems – everything is ok also with install watchdrip to watches and blood glucose level is available in WatchDrip app in watches directly, but there is no watchface for GTR 3 (not PRO). This is my second option to use, if anybody can help with setiings.
