For the last two months, I spend a lot of hours on Zepp devices architecture research. Probably this could take much less time if not for continuous air raid alerts and electricity blackouts ). But despite this, I finally can present the first watchdrip integration for ZEPP OS based devices. Since I bought the Amazfit GTR3 Pro first (thanks to Patreon subscribers), the first integration was made for exactly the Amazfit GTR3 Pro device. A little later i also added support for Amazfit Falcon.
Except for the support of a new devices. The new watchdrip app also has new functionality. There was added a few additional features to the application.
- The watchface catalog so you can easily change the watchcase on your device (there are not so many watchfaces at the moment).
- Also added the possibility to add a multiple devices and switch between them.
Configuration tutorial by steps for ZEPP OS devices.
1. xDrip+ configuration
- Make sure you have the xDrip version not older than 10.07.2022. If it is older, you need to update xDrip.
- Go to Settings -> Inter-app settings and enable “Broadcast Service API” checkbox
2. WatchDrip+ configuration
- Install latest WatchDrip+ app
- Switch on “Enable service” checkbox on the main screen and allow all permissions that would be requested.
- Switch on “Enable web server” checkbox.
- Switch OFF “Enable device” checkbox as the Zepp devices do not communicates directly with the Watchdrip app .
3. ZEPP app configuration
- Install the latest original ZEPP application from the android market. And connect your watch. (The communication with the watch will only work if you have ZEPP app installed)
- Turn on the developer mode, for this Go to “Profile” -> “Settings” -=> “About” and click the Zepp icon 7 times in a row until a pop-up window appears
3. Now the custom application and watch face QR code, can be scanned and installed on the device by using the “Scan” function.
4. Install Watchdrip+ watch application by using a QR code from watchdrip site . It is the same for all Amazfit ZEPP OS devices.
5. Install the Watchface file by using a QR codes below for the appropriate device. When you scan the watchface QR code, click on “Install” button near the watchface item to install this watcface on your device.
The watch app is universal. the list of supported devices can be found on watchdrip.org.
If there no Watchface for your device, it is possible to see the BG value in the Watchdrip watch app.

Hey @Nimrod100 I was trying to get into creating my own watchface but I need a place to start so I was wondering if you have a repository of your mi band 7 watchfaces that I could use to download one and go from there? I’m completely clueless on how to use a qr code from this site to download it onto my PC

Based on your watch faces for the GTR3 Pro, I created a watch face for the GTS 4 Mini in three different versions with the adaptation of the ZeppOS_WatchDrip_App for 1-minute sensor updates.
Can I send you the source code for the watch faces and the customized ZeppOS_WatchDrip_App in a *. zip-file, or can I upload the time-limited QR codes for the watch faces to “Insulinclub.de”?

After trying the GTS 2 mini and GTS 2, I have now bought a GTS 3 and am more than satisfied. On the whole, it runs perfectly, only now and then, very rarely, it stops receiving data. then it takes a while until it works again, then I’ve tried various things, like restarting and so on. but I can live with it. Just one question, I use Graph WF by sedy89 with the colour changes, Iob is displayed on the photos, but not on my WF. Is there another setting?

GTS 2 mini
Preparation: Uninstall the original Zepp, keep the Ascount.
The GTS 2 mini can store a maximum of 3 watch faces, so delete all watch faces with the bin image, then there should only be one watch face left.
Then download the modified Zepp app https://www.freemyband.com/
I used 5.6.1.
Then download Watchdrip+ : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zv3u5b4bspf4i3uw68kb2/WatchDrip_v0.3.1.apk?rlkey=48aj5dsptamktv3fq653klf2j&e=1&dl=0
Then we get started,
first in xDrip under Settings/Inter-App Settings/ Activate Broadcast Service API.
Then the modified Zepp app is installed, if you have already installed the original Zepp, log in now with the same data, otherwise create it now, you will need it later with the original.
Now connect the watch to Zepp, when it is connected you can close and uninstall the Zepp app. Now you can install the original Zepp and the Watchdrip+ Apk When opening Zepp you have to log in again with the same data, and make sure that you have entered an age of over 18 years. Then go to profile and connect the watch, then click on the watch and scroll down, then click on info about this device, in the following window you can see the Mac address, e.g. DE.B8.E3 etc.
Then write down Zepp. Then close Zepp and open Watchdrip+, activate Enable Service and Enable Device and deactivate Enable web server.
If you get an error message in between that the authentication does not work, enter the noted Mac address under Mac address, usually it will work, if not you have to enter the Auth-Key, you can find it in a file explorer on your mobile phone, in the folder freemyband, there should be a file, if there are two then the one with the name miband without the arrows , open it with an editor, there is a string with your Mac address at the beginning, then a semicolon and then the key.
Then it should work, takes a little while, have fun

Maybe it’s also due to Android, especially the newer versions like to go in between, only when I deactivated the lock screen did it run longer, at first I still had interruptions every 10 – 15 days, then it was enough to restart the watch, now it runs through, sometimes with a few seconds delay. Another friend got into the habit of restarting the watch every weekend. or simply trying a different watch face has also helped.

Hi everybody,
I’m using an Amazfit Band 7. I successfully followed the instructions described on this page and I thank Artem!
Now, I have one doubt: I noticed that this system would seem to work only when there is a network connection. In the absence of a data network, the blood glucose values are not changed on Amazfit Band 7.
Is this the case, or is there a way to get the blood glucose values on Amazfit Band 7 even in the absence of a network connection?
Am I missing something?
I’ve tried using the modified Zepp app to get the mac address and auth key, but the newer version (6.1.4) won’t install on my phone, and the older version (5.6.1) has no way to connect with the Amazfit Band 7 (which requires reading a QR code, but the Zepp 5.6.1 app doesn’t provide QR codes for Bands).
Thanks in advance for any help!
