Automation⚑

Amazfit Band 5⚑

  • New: Add insights on sleep detection.

    The sleep tracking using Gadgetbridge is not good at all. After two nights, the band has not been able to detect when I woke in the middle of the night, or when I really woke up, as I usually stay in the bed for a time before standing up. I'll try with the proprietary application soon and compare results.

  • New: Explain how to upgrade the firmware.

    Gadgetbridge people have a guide on how to upgrade the firmware, you need to get the firmware from the geek doing forum though, so it is interesting to create an account and watch the post.

  • Improvement: Add insights on sleep tracking.

    You can't use the Withings sleep analyzer without their app (as expected), maybe the Emfit QS is the way to go.
