Thanks, this website is a pretty old, and I hope the protocol doesn't change after the firmware upgrade. The 1st hack, I'd like to do, is to use miband for notification mobile. It will be nice have a library or sdk for this purpose. For android : https://github.com/lwis/miband-notifier

Yes, I know... Developers are constantly asking for an API of some sort, but seems that Xiaomi ignores that. Too bad, since the MiBand is a nice little device. Are you trying to use it on Android? There is also an iOs library (but seems very limited) and a Python one (has a lot of functions - http://oscaracena.bitbucket.org/mibanda/api/)

Yes, I am an Android developer, but it is not the point. The point is to increase functionality, and maybe build a sort of library to handle the main functionality ( it should be really nice customize the notification). The python library looks like very nice :-) good job
