This is a nice post about their protocol, although it seems that they are trying to prevent reverse engineering by obfuscating it in newer releases. There are also links to some useful libraries. Remember that MiBand can be connected to just one device at a time.

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
