Hey Gadgetbridge users!
We’re excited to announce Gadgetbridge 0.84.0, packed with new features, bug fixes, and expanded device support! Whether you’re using smartwatches, headphones, fitness trackers, or even smart glasses, this update brings more compatibility and better functionality to your favorite gadgets.
Merry Christmas! Gadgetbridge 0.83.0 has been released and should hit F-Droid soon. Even if you do not celebrate Christmas, let's celebrate this release together!😊
We have some new features, device improvements, a lot of new devices supported and of course some bugfixes.
This release adds a first start onboarding screen, to help new users to get started with our App and grant necessary permissions easily. We also added a calories charts and widgets. Additionally 0.83.0 marks the first release that supports a whole new device category, a solar battery: The Marstek B2500.
Gadgetbridge 0.81.0 has been released and is available on F-Droid already. This release took more than 3 month, but the wait is finally over!
The highlight of this release is the newly introduced dashboard view, which will work for all devices that somehow measure steps and/or sleep. The dashboard view will give you a nice daily overview about, steps, distance, active time, sleep, activity and exercises. Please check it out :)
0.81.0 adds support for the following devices:
Gadgetbridge 0.80.0 has been tagged (waiting for F-Droid to build).
After about a month after the 0.79.0/0.79.1 releases we are happy to announce the release of 0.80.0.
There is currently a steady stream of contributions, that it seems to make sense to aim for monthly releases while still having a lot to announce. Unfortunately, we did not find time to do a proper 0.79.0/0.79.1 announcement, so this blog post will mainly about 0.80.0, but still list the full changelog of 0.79.0/0.79.1.
0.80.0 adds support for the following devices:
Gadgetbridge 0.78.0 has been tagged (waiting for F-Droid to build).
This time we only had one month in between releases, but it is still a big one, since support for Huawei/Honor devices finally got merged. Many thanks to Damien Gaignon and Martin.JM for their amazing work!
This currently covers the following Huawei/Honor devices:
Gadgetbridge 0.78.0 also adds support for two new Xiaomi devices (in addition to the many devices that were already supported since the last release:
Gadgetbridge 0.77.0 has been tagged (waiting for F-Droid to build), it marks the biggest release ever, in terms of changes and new device support.
Okay, that sounds great, but, honestly part of the reason is that we never had such a long time between releases. :)
First the list of new devices supported:
Almost two month between major releases, but the wait is over, and Gadgetbridge 0.76.0 (and 0.76.1 which mostly fixes regression) has been released!
This time we did not only add support for new Amazfit devices (Bip 3 Pro, Bip 5, Cheetah, Cheetah Pro, Bip 5, Falcon, GTR Mini, T-Rex Ultra) and a new Casio watch (GW-B5600), but also multiple completely new devices from previously unsupported manufacturers:
You might also notice that we switched the UI to Material 3, which also adds support for dynamic color themes. We hope you like the new fresh look of Gadgetbridge.
Again after more than 1.5 month, a new Gadgetbridge release finally is ready! The F-Droid black box is still black though. :P
Traditionally we bump the release by a non-point release when support for a new device gets added or a big new code feature gets added, this time the latter is the case! We finally merged native OsmAnd support, a branch was started by me nearly two years ago but only recently picked up and fixed by José. PineTime/InfiniTime and bangle.js are the first watches that add support for making use of navigation instructions passed to devices by Gadgetbridge. There could be potential support for Pebble and Fossil/Skagen HR via watchapps in the future.
After more than 1.5 month, finally a new Gadgetbridge release is ready!
On the new device front we have support for one new Huami device, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and another Sony Headphone, the WH-1000XM5.
Mostly contributed by José, who also did the Sony WH-1000XM5 support, we have tons of new features and improvements for various Zepp OS based devices (the newer Huami devices). For example The GTR4/GTS4 devices can now do bluetooth based phone calls though the watch. There is just too much new stuff, so please just read the ChangeLog at the end of this blog post.
It took unusually long to get this out, but we tried to make it before Christmas, so here it is: Gadgetbridge 0.72.0
And since it is already out on F-Droid, todays blog post will be written by ChatGPT to save time. :O
