xDrip Android

xDrip (Android) setup

In this mode the M5Stack pretends to be a Mi Band 2. xDrip finds it, authenticates, and pushes every reading to it as a watch notification.

Set the device to this source first: at first boot press A, or later go to Menu → Data source → xDrip (Android) (the device reboots). See Device setup.

Then, in xDrip+, open Settings → Smart Watch Features → Mi Band.

1. Enable the Mi Band

Turn Use MiBand Band ON. xDrip starts searching — "Searching… Please keep MiBand near your phone". Leave the authentication key empty so xDrip generates one.

2. Delete any existing Mac address

If Mac address already holds an address from a previous band or a previous pairing, xDrip will keep chasing that old device and never find the M5Stack.

Tap Mac address, clear the field completely, and tap OK — leave it empty for auto search.

3. Let it find the device

With the M5Stack powered on and nearby, xDrip discovers it and fills the Mac address in automatically:

On the device, the Bluetooth icon goes steady blue and the log shows auth OK once authentication succeeds.

4. Confirm it works — send a reading manually

Rather than wait for the next 5-minute cycle, push the current value now. Scroll down and tap Update BG manually;

when asked "Update BG data now?", tap Yes.

Within a moment the device should show the value on the main page. From then on each new reading arrives automatically (≤ 5 min).

You will need to wait more measurement to see the trend arrow and delta.

Notes

• No time sync in this mode. Set the clock in Menu → Set time. On Core2 the RTC keeps it across reboots; on Basic/Fire re-enter it after a power-off.
• The reading arrives as text in xDrip's configured unit; the device converts to the unit you selected in its own menu.
