I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question for this forum.

I'm desperate to be able to communicate with a 'Bluetooth Bracelet', in particular the 'Wireless Buzzband BT-88' or the 'Xiaomi Mi Band' using the HM-10 bluetooth module (via an Arduino)

I'm sure this must be possible, if so, can anyone help with coding advice?

Many thanks,
Paul

If only it was that easy! I have tried to find out all I can, with any luck, hence joining a forum.

Many thanks - what would be very helpful is knowing:

1. what the default frequency of the Bracelet are
2. what to send in regards to telling the device to buzz, so, do I send the word "buzz" or "BUZZ" or "VIBRATE" ...so on
3. do I need to know the devices MAC_ADDRESS? If so, how do I find this out?
4. can I assume the sent commands (to the Bracelet) are all AT Commands?

Paul

Can be found in bracelete docs.

As it is BLE device you must write characteristic value, not sending any words.

Yes of course. In common way you have to send HCI INQUIRY command. For AT command based BT module refer to its docs.

No. It is binary GATT protocol.
