Library to interact with Xiaomi MiBand4. Only works on linux.

• Alarm functionality.

• (New Feature) Custom watchface files(.bin) support.
• Firmware restore/update fixes.

MiBand 4 provides superset of services provided by MiBand 2/3. For the services that were similar for both devices, the bluetooth characteristics, UUIDs and request/response byte sequence were the same. Therefore, I utilized some of the informations already uncovered by Freeyourgadget team and made use of the code by Andrey Nikishaev for MiBand2. I reverse engineered snooped ACL packets to fill in the pieces of the puzzle.

MiBand 4 with updated firmware requires server based pairing. This means, that you absolutely must use MiFit app to make the initial pairing, retrieve the pairing key and then use this key to pair with this library. Only some of the features of this library work without AuthKey of the band. Read Server based pairing for further details.

There are several ways to obtain the key.

On rooted phone you may grab the key from MiFit database which means that you must:

• install MiFit
• create an account
• pair the band/watch
• Then, execute the following command in a root shell terminal:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.xiaomi.hm.health/databases/origin_db_[YOURDBNAMEHERE] "select AUTHKEY from DEVICE"

On a non rooted phone you may consider using https://www.freemyband.com/

NOTICE: Every time you hard reset the band/watch, the Bluetooth MAC Address will be changed and you must grab a new key! Also, anytime you unpair your band/watch from MiFit, the pairing key will be invalidated and you must make new pairing in MiFit app.
