Hi Andrea, I don't know if this can help : https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge It seems it's an open source Android app working with Mi Band and Pebble.
The Mi Band firmware itself seems to be proprietary... But it seems someone is trying some alternatives : http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/Android_Free_Code/Hardware/bluetooth/com_motioncoding_miband_modelMiBand_java.htm Hope this helps a little. Another blocking thing is that Mi Band only supports bluetooth 4 LE.
