Ah, thats good to know. I also saw a blog post for a way to use it without the App by using a modded App APK on Android were you can extract the auth-Key... but that was way to complicated. I wish there were an open standard for digital watches to enable sync of data with the OS of choice without going through a proprietary app. I will look into the RPI Solution. Thanks.
I imagine the manufacturers would fight that all the way to the courts.
As best as I can tell Notify for Mi Band isn't from Xiaomi, they produce a number of similar apps that give you control over your phone and a key that allows Home Assistant (and I am sure other services) to pull in the data and you are away. Apparently, it's a relatively recent update that means you don't have to do any workarounds - it's straight through the app and should work for all Mi Bands and Amazfits.
