Over the past few months I’ve been trying to figure out how to control Home Assistant with a cheap smartwatch. Thanks to this post by @BramNH I learned about this application developed by ga2mer. By reading a russian folk and with some hints from @BramNH, finally i got it installed and working in my Xioami Band 7 (awesome😁). This led me to write an user friendly guide to share it with aguacatec community
Since then, few members of the community are working to improve it and extend it. We have created this fork and this user friendly guide to install this Home Assistant App in Zepp Devices
Currently we are working on support more devices and to improve the interface. This is the reason of this post (not to get the credits!) So if you have a Zepp smartwatch and you want to install it, you speak other language than English or Spanish, or you have any other suggestion to improve it, you are welcome and we are willing to work on it!
Updates:
Our contributor Barny has created a ‘.bat’ to install/update the app, so now you don’t need to type any command. Eays peasy!
Our contributor J helped us to support multiple languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese. Already available!!
@TiToTB - Any idea how to run this on a GTR Mini?
This model isn’t listed as an available target in Zeus and I just get “Download failed, error code: null” whichever alternative I choose.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Very nice Do you plan to have a solution for users of Gadgetbridge (the great opensource android app to handle a lot of activity trackers) ? I don’t use Zepp app as I find it irrelevant and privacy intrusive to use an app that needs internet to work
Although when I read the process it’s probably possible to do it with Gadgetbridge. Is there somewhere the app file ready for download in the device ? as I could try to install it through Gadgetbridge
Finally we have managed to translate the application into multiple languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.
If you update the application it will already be in your language
Hi, thanks for this. I managed to make it work on the GTR-3. Although it is functional I must performance is quite poor. Are you experiencing the same? Any ideas maybe on how to improve performance?
yes it is quite slow to start (loading the devices/scripts/sensors screen )and load the items in the device list.
I see also that there is one switch that is shown permanently on each screen.
