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 WatchDrip+ app v0.2 and newer
- 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 insatlled)
- 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 and the watchface file by using a QR codes for the appropriate device. When you scan the watchface QR code, to install watchface, click on “Install” button near the watchface item.
The watch app is universal and at the moment supports the following devices Amazfit GTR3 PRO, Amazfit GTR3, Amazfit TRex2, Amazfit GTS3, Amazfit GTS4, Amazfit GTR4, Amazfit GTS4 Mini, Amazfit Falcon.
If there no Watchface QR for your device, it is possible to see the BG value in the Watchdrip watch app.

Hello, just curious, can I have AOD watchface on GTR3 PRO too?
LikeLike
At the moment the AOD mode has not been tested. It is not recommended because can lead to fast battery discharge.

Seen the AOD watchfaces for GTR2, does it cause the battery drain on this model? Still haven’t found any adequate successor to Amazfit Pace from the newer models. I was putting a hope to your Watchdrip project, willing to pay for your great work! What model should I get then? Am. Pace is very good with xdrip but anything else.

@bigdigital, how were you able to get the Auth Key for the GTR3Pro for your WatchDrip+ app? I tried the latest Zepp 6.1.4 mod app but it won’t install on my Pixel 7, it keeps telling me invalid app. So, I tried all the other earlier versions from Freemyband.com and they all (5.6.1, 5.0.3, etc.) install but won’t pair with the GTR3Pro no matter what I do, unpair in official Zepp app, reboots, uninstalls.
Now I’m stuck since I can’t retrieve the Auth Key from the watch. I know you don’t maintain the Zepp Mod apps. I don’t want to root my phone, do you have any other suggestions on how I can get the Auth Key?

The xDrip version must be before or after 10.7.2022?

What does the WatchDrip app show you on your watch? It should also show the current value.
If not, then start the Zepp app and leave it open, switch to WatchDrip and press the update button until there is a value on the watch.

The only thing I dont have is the BG alert.
Before with my amazfit BIP, alerts were sent through Watchdrip+ (notification from xDrip were off), the watch was vibrating till snooze or cancel alert on the watch. How is it working now? Are BG alerts are now just sent as a normal notification by xDrip, like any random phone application with a non continuous vibration? It is the only way I managed to receive a BG alert, am I doing someting wrong? Thanks.

Thanks for your quick answer, I was so used of the vibration alerts on my Bip S, like the phone call alerts (very useful during nights, not waking up the house đŸ™‚ )
