Mi Band and openHAB

Automation

The watch on my wrist notices I’ve fallen asleep, and the smart home switches off the lamp, TV and night light.

  • Mi Band 3 / Amazfit: watch events go to the phone.
  • Tasker: sends an HTTP call to the openHAB server.
  • openHAB rule: switches devices off, and can pass on heart rate too.

How it works

  1. The watch is paired with the Mi Fit / Zepp app.
  2. Notify & Fitness for Mi Band forwards watch events (a button press, "fell asleep") as Android intents.
  3. Tasker catches them with an Intent Received trigger and sends an HTTP GET to the openHAB server, switching a dedicated item ON.
  4. An openHAB rule turns off the desk lamp, TV and bedside light, then the item resets to OFF as a momentary trigger.

The same approach can pass heart rate or step data (via %value) into an openHAB sitemap.
