Though I wouldn't mess with this one at the moment since I'm enjoying it for what it is. Might already be hacked, I've seen modded firmware you can side load. Looks like commanding/telemetry is possible aside from the Mi Fit app, using open source GadgetBridge https://gadgetbridge.org/ Also happens to support Pebble. I wonder if the 3rd party Notify and Fitness app I had to install to be able to sync to RunKeeper leverages this stuff. -- John.
