Getting started
Overview
Section titled “Overview”OmniBandBridge (OBB) turns your Xiaomi Mi Band 8-9-10 into a real-time running footpod and can also bridge a treadmill’s speed & incline. This page is a placeholder outline of the steps — detailed guides will follow.
1. Install the app
Section titled “1. Install the app”(Google Play link — coming soon.)
2. Pair your Mi Band
Section titled “2. Pair your Mi Band”Enter your Auth key (obtained during pairing with Mi Fitness). It is stored only on your device and used solely to talk to your band — it is never sent anywhere.
3. Activate footpod mode
Section titled “3. Activate footpod mode”Start a run/treadmill workout so the band enters footpod mode and begins streaming cadence, pace and stride data.
4. Stream to Zwift
Section titled “4. Stream to Zwift”Choose the broadcast method:
- Bluetooth — OBB appears as a BLE running speed & cadence sensor.
- LAN — exposes a virtual FTMS / RSC sensor to apps like Zwift over the LAN network.
5. Treadmill (optional)
Section titled “5. Treadmill (optional)”Feed treadmill speed & incline from an FTMS sensor or enter it manually — OBB can be used purely as an FTMS/treadmill bridge.
6. Export
Section titled “6. Export”At the end of a workout, export TCX / CSV / FIT (with advanced metrics) or auto-upload to intervals.icu / Strava.
