IFTTT is an automation system that "puts the internet to work for you", as they claim.
It works via channels and recipes with a "if" "do" mechanism.
I asked IFTTT to create a channel for Mi Band to aumatically connect the band to other service.
Since there are other channels for other wearables, such as fitbit and jawbone, it shouldn't be a huge problem to create one for Mi Band, one of the best selling wearable in the world.
For example you could export your sleep track to a gdrive spreadsheet every morning, to keep tracks of your sleep, without even touch your phone, or receive an email when you achieve your daily goal and so on.
Possibility are virtually infinite.
The discussion about the request is in this subreddit, with a lot of IFTTT developer http://redd.it/3baq4k
If you want to support the request upvote, leave a comment, explain what you would do with IFTTT integration or whatever you want.
Than you for your time
There was an app for android, which creates a channel for IFTTT.com

Hi there!
How can I use Bleckberry Software on my MDA pro?
I have the option of email-push with my contract, but can not use it, because there is no software for the MDA Pro
There is software for the MDA II, vor MDA III and for Compact but not for the Pro. If i try to install the software for MDA III (others are in the rom-upgrades only) i get a messege that the software is not certified for this device.
Any Idea how to use it anyway? Or any other Blackberry-Client for my MDA Pro??
Thx
Hi! you will have to wait for the first rom update by t-mobile. I am waiting for it since August last year...
You better don't count on getting the update in the next months. T-mobile really sucks with updates.
really really sucks
The BlackBerry connect software is currenly not availabe on the MDA Pro. Expected Q1 ‘ 2006

dunno if it will come the same time as the first service release that is listed as January
I´m raly no great fan of T-Mobile, but the release is not a probleme of t-Mobile, but one of RIM.
They have problems with the 3G because they normaly only use GPRS
That´s what i read in a magazin for GSM-Users.
But is there no way to use the Blackberry-software of the MDA II?
I found this, I wonder if our resident guru's can do something with this info:

Solving the Phone Synchronization Problem End-to-End
One of the anticipated features with Windows Mobile 5 is the "Blackberry-like" push email capability. This capability does NOT exist with the current Windows Mobile 5 devices, and it requires two components. First is Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2, which has shipped in the last couple of months, and second is the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) that needs to be installed on the devices, and will only be available via device manufacturers. MSFP is scheduled to be available early 2006. Note that it will require an installation on the device. (MSFP targets enterprise requirements such as the messaging feature described here, and over-the-air erase of devices.)
Those that prefer Blackberry or Good Technologies will note that this new capability is not truly push. Windows Mobile 5 devices will initiate the request for updates by sending an HTTP request to the Exchange server. (This is how Outlook Web Access and RPC over HTTP work today.) During the time that that the Exchange server is processing the request, the server will notify the device that new items have arrived and then the device will initiate a synchronization of the folders in which the items are contained.
In the end I believe this argument is all about semantics. What matters is whether or not one receives updates on the device in a timely manner. Regardless of the process, if I compare a Blackberry to Windows Mobile 5 and both devices receive email in about the same amount of time, end-users will be happy.
The Microsoft solution requires fewer components for the overall service. Blackberry requires additional servers, Blackberry Enterprise Servers (BES), on the comporate network. BES monitors mailbox folders of Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange servers, and when new items arrive it grabs a copy, and sends them to the Blackberry Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC provides the bridge between the Blackberry devices and the corporate email server. The NOC does the important task of keeping track of devices so that whenever new mail arrives, it is sent. The devices, in turn, are keeping in constant contact with the NOC so that the NOC knows that the devices is available to receive mail. This is why if you have a Blackberry you will see it constantly polling.
Another dependency in the Blackberry solution is the interface between the mobile provider networks and the Blackberry NOC. In essences what happens is that the device communicates on the providers network, the provider network routes to the NOC, the NOC sends email that it receives from BES. If you have Blackberry service provisioned by T-Mobile you can't then just move the device over to Cingular (soon to be AT&T) and expect Blackberry to work. Rather Cingular has to set up your device to work via it's connection with the Blackberry NOC. (In contrast, take an unlocked GSM/GPRS device replace the T-Mobile SIM with a Cingular SIM and the e-mail service will work, completely within the control of an end user.)
The NOC is at the heart of the threat to people losing their Blackberry service due to the patent infringement case. If required by the courts, RIM will have to shut off the NOC, which will effectively shut off the Blackberry service.
Microsoft's solution does not have a NOC nor does it have separate servers like BES. All you need is Exchange 2003 SP2 and devices provisioned with MSFP. Clearly these are fewer components for systems administrators to maintain and that will make it an appealing solution to corporations. The service will be entirely within a company's control, and companies won't be at risk of having the service disabled if the NOC is offline either intentionally or due to an outage.
Have a look at this Thread - Its about a Outlook-Transfer that uses Imap-idle
The Beta looks quite good.

Good evening.
Please if anyone can explain the advantage of the availability of WIFI option in the smartwatch.
Interested in me, that our devices are connected to such a network, help you with something smartwatch functions or can consider this option redundant, given that without Bluetooth connectivity, the watch functions are just local?
In other words. Can you achieve at least partial synchronization of the information or to have in mind that wireless is an update of the stock software in the watch for example?
If you're out of range for Bluetooth, the watch can connect via WiFi and get Notifications pushed that way.
@BinaryW01f, Thank you for the information.
I did not know that this is the meaning of this WIFI network.
This detail and the opportunity it was not known.
Actually I confirmed this information useful for me when receive email on stopped Bluetooth.
Thank you again. :good:
Hi everyone!
I’m sorry if this is not the right place to post this kind of question - I searched for this information and could not find anything in others foruns.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6643) with Android 5.1.1.
I recently bought a SMEG+IV2 from Citroen and installed it on my car (a Citroen DS3). This equipment is MirrorLink (and Apple CarPlay) enabled.
I also found that MirrorLink originally is a “crap” feature because I can use only pre-allowed applications (crap navigation app, crap audio app and so on) so I started to search for a solution.
Here in XDA there are many topics about “Samsung Drive Link” as an alternative but unfortunately (and of course) it doesn’t work with my Sony device.
Does anybody have a way so I can fully mirror my phone to my car (use Waze, default Spotfy and etc)?
Regards,
lzsilva
Nobody? :crying:
Hi izsilva,
similar situation here: new Citroen C5 Tourer with SMEG+IV2 (and updated with your R20 firmware, thanks! ), and multiple phones: Z5 Compact, Z1 Compact, Z and SGS7 Edge.
Am in similar situation, trying and experimenting with MirrorLink. The technology itself I'd not call "crap", it relies on well proven things, like VNC (yeah, that VNC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing) and other things, so essentially is well grounded. The problem with it, is that despite it calls itself "open", the technology is actually very "closed", is hard to get any stuff working with it in other way than initially designed. But, the reasons for that is, well, law and regulations. MirrorLink must obey US, EU and Japan (three biggest "areas" with different regulations, AFAIK, US is most "relaxed" and Japan is most restrictive, and rest of the world is around EU of strictness: ie. you cannot phone during driving without speakerphone, no driver distractions, etc). Hence, MirrorLink has a very tough criteria to make an android application "MirrorLink certified", it is literally being tested for no distractions (among other things), and then and only then is let to be used. But, we are talking about a lengthy process here, and as we know, time in software development is key, not to mention (and am not aware, maybe it's free) is there any other "fee" to have an app certified. If there is, it is definitely not Open Source friendly either. Me as a person, open source developer am actually shot immediately down.
There are "hacks", like the trick with Samsung MirrorLink server, where Samsung (or whoever implemented their MirrorLink Server) left a "backdoor", a SQLite preferences with "whitelisted" packages + root, see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNzXjX4mSog). Unfortunately (or not, who knows), Sony MirrorLink server app is based on RealVNC MirrorLink Server (I guess Sony bought it and incorporated it or just outsourced the work to RealVNC, whatever), all in all, the "prefs" trick does not work on Sony MirrorLink phones.
To better understand the problem, let me explain how MirrorLink actually works: you have 3 components: the client (runs on SMEG+IV2), the server (runs on phone, it seems it must be an Android System Application AFAIK, unsure, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35456209/implement-mirrorlink-on-custom-rom-android ) and the application (runs on phone). The server uses digital signatures to verify is application MirrorLink certified or not (as part of certification you get a digital signature too I believe). So, there is not much to do here, it is not like "flipping a bit": modding a digitally signed app/payload/something in a way that other (unmodified) component does not detect it's changed (and refuse it as invalid), without having the private key is near to impossible.
Still, there are other possibilities: "development mode" of MirrorLink allows to run "development" software, but, it is instead of a certificate, tied to given IMEI number of the phone it runs on. Am still experimenting with it, not there, but again, this means a) someone needs to code something that suits your need b) you need to have MirrorLink developer account c) the app must run on phone having IMEI you registered with your account. Again, not a "simple case".
Stay in touch, will ping here if anything new crops up.
PS: Any new firmwares lately?

One of my cars is a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Since it's a retired cop car, it doesn't have any anti-theft system, no chip keys/immobilizer, and there are various keys out there that can easily open/start my car. My friend found a random key in his Crown Vic ex-cop-car from a completely different department and even though the key is cut totally different it still opens and starts my car. I'm sure there are plenty of other keys out there that will work with my car as well, which is why I'm worried about it getting stolen.
I have a spare cheap phone (with like no resale value) on Xfinity Mobile, there are no line fees, so if I can stay under 100MB of data in a month it's free, or it'll cost me $12 for 1GB which is no problem.
Features I'm looking for are:
-Tracking ability
-Text me when the car is started.
-Text me when there is an impact with the car (using the accelerometer in the phone I guess?)
The tracking device is easy... just use Android Device Manager or Lookout or some other remote tracking app. The problem is the other two things... Not sure how I'd accomplish that honestly. I'm a web developer but I have no idea how to even start with Android app development...
Looking for input, hopefully someone on here could point me in the right direction. I've tried Googling/Binging but nothing I've found is even remotely similar to what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance!
I was looking for the same thing. But all I found was OBD2 devices or some Chinese that used SMS for communication.
But after long time of searching I found ,,carlock,, it is OBD2 but it is using it only for power so you can use only OBD2 dummy for powering it. It has nice APP, using internet and it's not that expensive.
But if you found different solution let me know.
not a dev, but just wanted to comment on what Mato_xXx said about the chinese app that uses SMS.. if someone were to make an app, in some places (not sure if this is the case in China) data is more than SMS and vice versa.. and i know that those chinese made GPS car tracker devices work like this:
-uses GPS to record location
-checks every so often for location changes
-if location changes SMS gets sent to a number you pre-programmed into it every several seconds
these devices come with apps you can download to track the location of vehicle using google maps. Here is an example of said device:
(i am a new user and was unable to post links, but serach for "gps vehicle tracker" in google or serach amazon)
these things meet the criteria of your first requirement without the use of data (it instead uses SMS). If someone were to make a car security app, they should add this as a feature (location via SMS) because depending on what provider you are using you might run out of data or you could go over you data limit and amass a large bill... this would be an issue for people in Canada as we have some of the most expensive cell data in the world
I think what needs to be done is an app that can be installed where you can make it so the car wont start without some kind of authentication entered via your android device + the key..
what I think you were talking about when you said your friend found a key that would start your crown vic is the crown vic fleet key, which will start any crown vic (and usually the glove box and the trunk) ; (again, i am a new user,cannot post links, but serach google for "crown vic fleet key")
and because your vehicle is an old crown vic, its not going to have any wireless daig features so im assuming you'd have to buy some kind of hookup adapter for OBD2 to interface with your car.. but if you make any progress with this project please let us know..
this may be completely useless, but i stumbled upon this while looking for something completely unrelated: (gawd damn new user spam rules again! lol) www[dot]diagram[dot]com[dot]ua/english/articles/security-and-alarm-system-using-mobile-communication[dot]shtml
Hello,
I was looking into a feature that can somehow broadcast the heart rate of the mi band 4. Broadcasting is different than normal heart rate tracking because it sends a ble packet containing the HR value and other peripherals receive the data without pairing. This is useful in more than one scenario:
1. I use a bike computer but it cannot see my mi band 4 (as factory made), lacking the broadcast feature it cannot be detected by the bike computer
2. at the gym, maybe you have a treadmill and it can receive the hr trough broadcast.
I found this app, https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/ble-test-peripheral-android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.webbluetoothcg.bletestperipheral ) that my bike computer can see the HR emulator. I was wondering how can this be made to communicate with each other, or another way if it is possible.
A scenario:
1. start biking activity - we have the heart rate
2. I used Notify and Fitness and in tasker I could get the hr value http://mibandnotify.com/help/tasker_send_intent.php (sadly tasker does not have yet the ble broadcast feature)
3. Is it possible to make an app that does exactly this thing? Like get the HR from the mi band and using the code in ble-test-peripheral-android emulate a HR sensor on the phone that broadcasts the value.
Other solutions are welcomed,
thanks.

Having Tasker support for BLE would be nice and is probably also interesting for other use cases. Maybe ask on r/tasker if the wanted feature is already possible to do with Tasker and if not put up a feature request on tasker.helprace.com. I'm sure Mi Band 4 users like myself will vote for it.
