  3. Log out of Xiaomi Sports Health on your phone and ensure it is completely closed (or switch to another wearable device).

  4. Enter Connect New Device mode on the wristband.

  5. Go back to the device page and select the device.

  6. The Authkey will be automatically prepared for you when logged into your Xiaomi account, just connect directly; if not logged in, just fill in the Authkey.

Q3: After connecting the wristband, it shows "Please click confirm on your phone", but nothing happens after clicking. What should I do?​

  1. Check if AstroBox has been granted Bluetooth and location permissions.

  2. Go to Bluetooth settings and ignore the device.

  3. Reconnect the device in Xiaomi Sports Health.

  4. Deeply close and stop Xiaomi Sports Health.

  5. The wristband enters the state of connecting to a new phone.

  6. Go to AstroBox settings, and resynchronize the Authkey through your Xiaomi account.

  7. Go to the connect device page and reconnect.

Q4: How to get Authkey?​

You can directly log in to your Xiaomi account in the app settings - Sync Device to get it with one click. Afterwards, you can see all devices and their Authkeys on the connect device page. You can also get the Authkey by checking the log in Xiaomi Sports Health.

Q5: After logging in on an iOS device, why doesn't the connect device page automatically display the devices in the account?​

Due to the particularity of the iOS platform, we have designed new connection steps for iOS devices. Please refer to this document.

🌟 Q6: Why can't I connect to the wristband/the wristband disconnects after a few seconds?​

If you have any connection problems, please check:

  1. Whether Xiaomi Sports Health is completely cleared from the background (or whether the "nearby devices" permission of "Xiaomi Sports Health" is turned off).

  2. Whether other interfering items such as watch face customization tools, Notify For Xiaomi, GadgetBridge, etc. are all turned off, and if necessary, you can uninstall them directly. (澎湃OS2 users can try adjusting "Interconnection Service" to prevent connection grabbing)

  3. Whether the wristband has entered Connect New Device mode.

  4. Whether AstroBox has been granted "nearby devices", "Bluetooth", "location acquisition" permissions.

  5. For computers, please check if there is a Bluetooth module (4.0+), and check if you have clicked confirm in computer settings and wristband clicked confirm.

  6. Please try to "ignore" your wristband in the system Bluetooth settings, and then try to reconnect (iOS users especially need to try this step). For Windows, due to system characteristics, you can restart the computer and try again.

  7. If there is a new version of the Bluetooth firmware, please update it yourself in the system settings.

  8. Is the Android version 13 or above.

If the problem still cannot be solved, please restart the wristband and app multiple times.

🌟 Q7: What to do if "Key error or backend abnormal" is displayed?​

First, check if your device can be used in AstroBox. Click here for details.

If the device is in the supported list, please check if your Authkey is correct. Some devices update the Authkey frequently, so you need to go back to Sports Health to reconnect and update, then put the wristband into connect new phone state, and then enter AstroBox to log in to your Xiaomi account to get it.
