Hello everyone. With simhub I would like to connect my smartwatch mi smart band 6. Simhub finds it, selects it but the heart rate data does not appear on the screen. I can't find any documentation about it.

 

Tnx!

Hi ! Unfortunately mi fit is not a real HR ble compliant device, it does expose a HR signature recognised by Simhub but never gives any data (it only does it when connected to the manufacturer app after an extra authentication process.)

Amazfit is the same. Apple watches don't expose a HR service.

Garmin watches will work as well as most cheap dedicated heart monitor bands.

@hyper0 Garmin watches are really expensive if your only interest is heart rate monitor . The best compromise if you just want heart rate is to get a standard ble heart monitor like this one :

In addition to being cheaper it's pretty reactive and accurate (way more than mi fit or amazfit)

Yeah sorry : here is the link

For Garmin watches you need to enable broadcast: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=U9k7zA5rvY7yC2v0H2rBL6

It's similar on fenix models and probably the whole Garmin watches range
