Support for the Xiaomi Watch 8 Pro, 9, and 10 has been added thanks to the Nimrod100 project (available at GitHub). A special thanks goes to him for a valuable suggestions and testing.
Starting with the Xiaomi Watch 8 Pro (note: the standard Xiaomi 8 is not supported), Xiaomi introduced its proprietary operating system, HyperOS. While it shares similarities with Amazfit’s ZeppOS, HyperOS uses Lua for building applications and watch faces.
Communication with these watches is made possible through the Xiaomi SDK, which provides access to open custom apps and send data. This approach has been successfully used to enable xDrip integration with the devices.
Configuration tutorial by steps for Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, Xiaomi Smart Band 9, Xiaomi Smart Band 10
Data source configuration.
You can choose to use xDrip or Juggluco as a source of data for WatchDrip. Depending to the app you would like to use, select one of the configuration variant:
1.1 Xdrip configuraton
- Make sure you have the xDrip version not older than 10.07.2022. If it is older, you need to update xDrip. Lates version can be found here
- Go to Settings -> Inter-app settings and enable “Broadcast Service API” checkbox
1.2 Juggluco configuraton
- Make sure you have the Juggluco version not older than v4.11.0. If it is older, you need to update xDrip. Lates version can be found here
- Open menu by click to the graph, navigate to watch submenu and activate watchdrip checkbox
2. WatchDrip configuration
- Install WatchDrip app v0.4.2 and newer
- Switch ON “Enable service” checkbox on the main screen
- Switch ON “Enable Xiaomi service” checkbox.
- Switch OFF “Enable device” checkbox if it is enabled
- At this step you should see actual glcuose data in the app, if not, recheck settings mentioned above.
3. Mi Fitness App configuration
- Install MiFitness official app from Google Play and connect your band in the app. If it ask to update firmware on the watch, update it to the latest version.
- Uninstall official app.
- Install MiFitness latest modified apk from @m0tral group in telegram MiFitness mod (thanks to @m0tral for his great work) or from this link MiFitness mod v1.41 .
- Login using the same account you used when connecting official app.
- Add your band in the MiFitness App as usual (if it was not added before).
- In MiFitness Open Device -> Apps -> Apps (if you don’t have the second Apps, then the wrong version of MiFitness App is installed, go to first step and install modified App, see step 1).
- Click Available. Install Watchdrip+ (not Xaomi Watchdrip). Check Watchdrip+ appears in Installed tab
- Now you can install the watchface itself. In MiFitness click Device -> Manage displays -> Add -> Mods. Navigate to english category. At the moment there two watchfaces in MiFitness. “Watchdrip+ Graph” watchface and “Watchdrip+ Big” watchface. You can choose one of them.
- Once installed on the phone and Mi band, set all App permissions and background usage for both apps.
- Restart phone and Band
- Enjoy

Very nice. Are different watchfaces for Xiaomi 8 Pro and 9 available? Are there any examples of them, how they look like?

As I didn’t get any values on the band, I spent quite some time on debugging.
Unfortunately only as a last try, I killed all related apps and restarted them. After this I immediately got values to the band. So maybe this “idea” might keep anybody else from spending too much time on debugging 😉

I have the same problem and not sure what to reset. I’ve forced stopped Watchdrip+ but the special Mi Fitness won’t stop. I’ve rebooted my phone (Google Pixel 8 running Android 15) and rest the band, but I still can’t get readings. I may have to go back to my Band 5 because that works.

Thank you for this! My Xiaomi Smart Band 9 has arrived but I’m struggling to get the Watchface to update, it’s not showing the latest data from Watchdrip+ and this is with Xdrip+ as a source? Also the band itself is often unresponsive to touch or movement. The Mi Fitness modded app did a firmware upgrade of the band, do I need to remove this? Similar to John I cannot get it working unfortunately.

Hey!

I’ve tried to reinstall everything. Rebooted my phone. It still doesn’t show up in the Xiaomi Smart Band 9.
I also tried to install Watchdrip+ instead of Xiaomi Watchdrip in the Mi Fitness app
I also tried to follow https://github.com/miguelavh/Watchdrip-Xiaomi , which also included WathdripXiaomi.apk . In this little app you said XXX X. So no reading there.
I’m really stuck here. Any ideas?

At least with my Smart Band 7 I can tell in the Zepp App on the phone to push notifications (i.e. alarms) to the band. Have you checked the settings concerning that? This feature by the way has then nothing to do with WatchDrip – its a pure Zepp & Smartband thingy.

There are still bugs but the miband 9 and watchdrip works. Whenever my phone shuts down it was has problem to display the numbers on the miband. And suddenly 24 hours or works again.
Sometimes I reboot, sometimes I reinstall the watch apps, the watchface apps. Sometimes I refresh watchdrip. Does someone has a solution when I get the +00.00 sec. It will probably work again on 2 days but I need a solution when it happens.
