In order to provide more flexibility and improve continious updates for official xDrip app and MiBand(Amazfit) devices, i decided to separate watch integration and xDrip into two separate applications which would communicate with each other.
The work on this idea was started at the beggining of 2022 year, and when it was almost done for testing, the russian invasion happens. This factor interrupted almost all work related to watch integration project support because it was time when i was needed to take care about my family safety and survival.
At the moment the situation in Ukraine i guess is more controllable (thanks to countries sending foreign aid ). So i returned to Kyiv and want to finally release a new application.
To make a new application work, you need a xDrip (at the moment it is an original xDrip with a small change into the code which i hope would be integrated into the official xDrip after testing) . Also, you need the latest version of WatchDrip+ which would act as a communication bridge between your watch and xDrip. The new version is already available for people who support this project on Patreon and would be available after 22.06.2022 for everyone.
Configuration tutorial by steps
1.1 Obtaining auth key (new method)
- Install the official Zepp life (for Xiaomi) or Zepp(for Amazfit) app and register with an email/password(do NOT sign in with google facebook or whatever)
- Pair the watch
- Install the latest huafetcher apk1
For amazfit devices
Choose Amazfit as login method. PressGet tokenbutton.Fill in email and name fields. You can save them in the app by pressing the Save buttons.PressFetch key. The key will appear in theFound keyfield, get it by pressing the Copy button.- Update 06.11.2023 Unfortunately this method does not work for amazfit anymore, please use a patched zepp app. See 1.2 Obtaining auth key (old method)
For xiaomi devices
- Choose xiaomi as login method. Press
Get tokenbutton. - This will open up your browser. Here you need to sing into your Xiaomi account.
- Once you press Sign in, your browser will either warn you or this gets you to a blank page. In any case, the url starts with
hm.xiaomi.com/watch.do?.... You must copy this URL: - Go back to Huafetcher and paste the URL into the URL result field by using the Paste button
- Press
Fetch key. The key will appear in theFound keyfield, get it by pressing the Copy button.
Before inserting this key, you will need to remove 0x a the beginning of the key
1.2 Obtaining auth key (old method)
- If the Mi Band is already connected via the original Zepp life(MiFit) app, the band
should be unpaired and the original app should be uninstalled. - Download and install the latest patched MiFit (for Xiaomi) or Zepp(for Amazfit) app from this website https://www.freemyband.com/ .This app allows to generate device authentification code required in the below steps. Alternative links to patched application for MiBands MiFit, for Amazfit Zepp.
- Login into the MiFit(or Zepp in case of Amazfit) with email and password. Create an account if necessary.
- Pair your smartband with modified MiFit(or Zepp). For this go to Profile tab and click on Add device button.
- Enable band visibility in the MiFit(or Zepp) settings. If you don’t have this option, make sure you have set your age in the account to 18 and above.
- (optional) Now you can uninstall modified MiFit (or Zepp) application and install official application or any other APK you like to use together with your device. If you would use official Mi Fit(or Zepp) application, you would need to Login into the Mi Fit(or Zepp) with the email account which was used with the patched application.
MiBand2 and MiBand3
The Obtaining auth key phase for these devices can be skipped because it is required manual authentificatin
2. xDrip+ configuration
Install xDrip with a small modification from the following link. In the nearest future, it would be possible to use official xDrip.Upd. 10.07.2022 The required fix were added to the official xDrip, so you can install the latest nightly build official xDrip- Go to Settings -> Inter-app settings and enable Broadcast Service API checkbox
- That’s all for xDrip. But if you had the watch previously configured in xDrip. Go to Settings -> Smart watch feature -> MiBand and disable “Use Miband” checkbox (this is an outdated feature)
3. WatchDrip+ configuration
- Install WatchDrip+ app
- Switch on Enable service checkbox on the main screen and allow all permissions that would be requested.
- After this, in most cases, the watch should be automatically found and you will see a notification with your device name. The MAC address should be populated automatically. If this happens, you can skip the next step.
- If your watch was not found or found the wrong device, you can try to clear Mac Address field to retry autosearch or enter the device MAC address manually. The MAC address should look like this FF:EE:DD:CC:BB:AA , 6 two-digits hex values, semicolon-separated.
The device MAC address can be found in the application:
4.1 In MiFit, switch to Profile tab, open device settings, scroll to the bottom of the screen. Long tap on the MAC field to copy it to the buffer, after this.
4.2 In Zepp, switch to Profile tab, open device settings -> About This Device . Long tap on the MAC field to copy it to the buffer.
- At this step, the device required authentification. On MiBand2 and MiBand3, you should approve authentification by touching the button on the device screen. For the rest devices, you don’t need to do anything. Normally auth key should be automatically extracted from the file generated by the patched Mi Fit(or Zepp) application. And you will see the toast message like this:
If authentification fails :
4. If authentification fails, there may be several reasons:
- Make sure the app connecting to the right device (compare your device MAC and MAC used in WatchDrip). If they are different, enter the MAC address manually as described above.
- Try to enter the authentication code manually. The authentification code generated by the patched app can be found in /sdcard/freemyband folder. You should open the wile with the corresponding to your device MAC. For example, if your device mac,
FF:EE:DD:CC:BB:AA, the file should bemibandFFEEDDCCBBAA.txt. When you open this file with a text editor there should be a text like thisFF:EE:DD:CC:BB:AA;5599f3acb91e02cfbf86b4faeb5652a4 . The code after semicolon, would be your device auth key: 5599f3acb91e02cfbf86b4faeb5652a4 . You need to copy this text and enter it into Auth Key field in WatchDrip+ app. - Your authentification code was changed (which usually happens when resetting the watch to the default setting or using another login in mifift(zepp) app). Please obtain a new authentification code by repairing your watch with the patched app. Please note, that the device mac can be changed when you repair the device, so also recheck the mac address used by the app.
Once the device is connected and authenticated, wait for the next value in xDrip+, the watchface with xdrip data should be uploaded to your device.
It is also possible to force refresh watchface uploading by clicking the green Refresh button on the WatchDrip app main screen.
WatchDrip+ features
Main Settings
Enable service – You can enable and disable MiBand integration with this main switch. In this case, the application will stop communication with xDrip and your watch.
MAC Adress – your device MAC address, you can clear this field to autosearch supported device
Auth Key – The 32 characters authentication key used to authenticate the device. You can clear this field to let autosearch key from the file generated by patched MiFit(Zepp)
Send Alarms – Will send glucose alarms(low/high) to your device configured in xDrip settings
Other Alarms – Will send all alarms configured in xdrip, except glucose alarms (low/high)
Advanced Settings
Send reading – You must enable this to have readings on your device. For devices that support watcfaces, the watchface would be uploaded. If the device battery charge is below 12% or weak BT connection, only BG notification would be received. The MiBand2,3 support only bg notification.
Vibrate on reading – Your device will vibrate after reading, useful mostly for debugging
Use custom watchface – You can create your own watchface and modify the background image using these features. Keep them disabled unless you have correctly set the files required in the phone xDrip folder. For tips and an examples look here.
Disable High MTU – can be used when experiencing watchface display issues.

Hello! First thank you. We have been using your creations for over a year now in Argentina with our teen daughter. We are so grateful.
Today we updated Xdrip to most current version and installed watchdrip +.
We disconnected and reconnected miband5 with patched mifit app.
Turned off old smartwatch connection in Xdrip.
Confirmed new MAC address and auth key are correct in watchdrip+. BG readings visible in watchdrip.
But status keeps saying: authorization failed, sleep.
Have reset miband 5.
Have turned Bluetooth on, off on xiaomi phone.
Have not updated firmware on watch. Is this the problem?

The guide is a little outdated at this part.
You find different links for the latest version and older versions on: “freemyband.com”.
just a general rule: try by your self as hard as possible, try to read as much as possible on the given websites (freemyband and artems blog) before asking. Its not meant to be rude, but i have the feeling you didnt even had a second look an freemyband nore artems guide.

Anyway I had a doubt so I tried installing the 6.1.4 on another phone (Android 11), and the app installed without problems, so surely my new phone is the guilt, may be an adblocker or antivirus settings lock the app.
Now I’ll try to connect the watch, hope to do it in a short time.

Hi! Thanks for fixing the lock status bug 😉
I started using Diabox with FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor recently, and it polls the sensor every minute, as opposed to xDrip polling every 5 minutes. I’m using xDrip as an intermediary for WatchDrip+ here, since Diabox does not integrate with miBands. Have you considered enabling parametrization of the polling interval for WatchDrip+, so that it would be possible to take advantage of more frequent polling on the side of Diabox? I’m aware of the battery life tradeoff.

Hello Artem. I’ve Amazfit GTS2 mini, with Watchdrip+ 0.2.0.2 coupled to latest nightly of xDrip+.
But I have two problems:
1- The heart pulse rate and walked steps are shown randomly on xDrip+, so they most times don’t match the watch ones. It looks like WatchDrip+ misses many of such data from the watch, or misses sending them to xDrip+;
2- most important, the watch misses BG new data many times a day, and this means that I’m never sure that what the watch shows is the actual reading, unless I read the transmission time, but its font is so small that I’m unable to read it most of times.
This makes useless for me all the stuff, obviously.
Someone else has the same problem?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Hi Andrea,
I also think the transmission time should be the same “size” than the clock. Best would be transmission time directly under clock so it would be easy to read. If time difference is more than ex. 5 min. it would be cool if colour of time changes e.g. green to orange…so you can see if BZ is old or actuell. Because of missed data caused by bluetooth disconnection I start my phone every day new…. good luck 🍀

Hi Twinko.
Yes, Artem’s original xDrip+ worked very well, but it’s a shame that Watchdrip doesn’t do what it should.

Hi Thomas.
I will follow your suggestion to reboot the phone daily and hope it works, thank you.
Also I see that I am not the only one who has difficulties reading the information on the current watchface due to the font size being too small, and some time ago I suggested Artem to increase it by a couple of points, making it “Bold” and bright white instead of the current gray.
I understand that this means almost completely revolutionizing the watchface, but it is the most important final step for a perfectly usable result, after all the time Artem put into it.
Also, the transmission time in red color (amd Bold…) if the delta is more than 5 minutes could be a good solution, I agree.
I hope Artem will help us on this point.
BTW, how can I post images here?
I would like to show an example of how the clock surface IMHO could be modified to increase readability.

Das funktioniert nur, wenn die Verbindung zu watchdrip unterbrochen ist. Gibt es da einen Trick? Oder geht beides nicht gleichzeitig? Hat jemand eine Idee? Vielen Dank!

Hasta ahora he utilizado whatxdrip para ver la glucemia en mi gtr2 pero tras una reparación en el móvil, he vuelto a instalar xdrip y whatxdrip 2.6 y no consigo ver la glucemia en el reloj. Whatxdrip no acepta la clave de autenticación copiada de la carpeta freemyband tras vincular el reloj con la APK zepp 5.6.1. Llevo más de dos años usando este reloj sin problemas con este método y ahora no funciona. Pueden ayudarme?

Hi, I’m trying to connect Amazfit GTR2 but I have no luck. Initially I managed to connect but then it didn’t work. I guess that was due to reason the kiddo installed a watchface from Zepp app. I tried to connect after that but have had no luck. I have ereinstalled an reset to factory defaults the watch for 20 times up to now and each time the message in Watchdrip is: ‘Authentication failed due to authentication timeout’.
One more interesting situation. I have no wathes near by, only GTR2 and the phone. When I leave MAC Address empty Watchdrip finds always the same MAC address that is not the one from the watch. I cannot figureout which one is it and where from does it take it. When I fill in the right MAC address I get the timeout message. Now I’m bit depressed because I tried everything: new method, old method … New watchdrip and Zepp versions, old ones, but always the same.

Hey,
it really depends on your phone. some older models dont allow multiple bluetooth connections.
Try the following:
diconnect the watch from the zepp app
diconnect all other bluetooth devices
than go to bluetooth setings and amnually pair to your watch
than try the connection with xdrip again.
If that doesnt work, i would recommend a phone factory reset and following the instructions.
What phone are u using?

Sometimes the high and low alarms from X-Drip don’t come onto the MiBand6 or they arrive only after one minute.
I would like to be able to switch off the alarms immediately as I don’t want to disturb others and it takes a long time to put my smartphone out of my bag in order to switch off the alarm in x-drip.

Hi All,
I successfully linked my GTR2 with WatchDrip+ for 1 week or so (and it was working flawlessly), after that the authentication started to give issues not updating the custom watchface. Immediately I started to receive this message:
“authentication failed due authentication timeout”
Xdrip+ is working without issues in my WearOS. But with the Amazfit not anymore.
Version of my software:
Zepp 8.0.2
Xdrip+ 2023.07.16
WatchDrip+ 0.2.6
GTR2 Firmware 6.4.1.1
Kindly let me know what I should do for receiving the updates from WatchDrip+.
Thank you very much

but on a few occasions I have had in watchdrip, ‘waiting RSSI info’ and/or ‘waiting battery info’ and watch not updating. The only method I have found to clear this is rebooting watch, which it will update and then next cycle does the same (waiting RSSI & battery info).
It happened this morning, After 2 reboots, it seems to be working fine again.

Hello @barbercolin,

Hi Artem. I am using a Libre3 sensor and recently found out that it is possible to get a value every min instead of every 5 mins which i like to use to be warned of low/high Glucose a bit more early. The downside is That the miband gets the value also every min and Power consumption is way higher. Is it possible to implement an Option which is only Sendling the values to the watch if the change is Big enough? For example min 10 units (configurable) difference to the last sent value. Or maybe depending on the arrow (if Flat arrow only send every 10 mins (configurable)). This would save battery even during the night, when Glucose is stable but not missing high/low values

Hi Artem. I found an issue with the default watchface settings for the GTR42.
The position values of iob_text and treatment_text are almost identical. (+-1)
As a result, the letters appear overlapping and are difficult to read.
I already solved this problem changing the iob_text.position.y value to 203 (old value -24) in config.json and using the ‘use custom watchface’ option.
but I think more good way – modify default GTR42 watchface of Watchdrip basic package.
