Does Strava Support Mi Band?
Whilst there is no official Mi Band app for Strava, there are a few workarounds you can try to get your heart rate data to upload.
The first is to use the Strava app on your phone alongside the Mi Fit app. Open the Strava app and start an activity, then open the Mi Fit app and select the same activity. Your heart rate data will be sent to Strava as long as you keep the Mi Fit app open.
Another option is to use a third-party app called HRM for Strava. This app syncs with your Mi Band and sends your heart rate data to Strava. You’ll need to manually start an activity in HRM for Strava before starting your activity in Strava.
Finally, if you’re using a Polar heart rate monitor with your Mi Band, you can try using the Polar Flow app. This app syncs with your Polar heart rate monitor and sends your heart rate data to Strava. You’ll need to start an activity in the Polar Flow app before starting your activity in Strava.
Whilst these workarounds aren’t officially supported by Strava, they should allow you to get your heart rate data uploaded to your Strava account.

When you connect your Strava account to your Mi Band, this real-time data will also be visible on Strava, so you can see how you’re performing in real-time.
3. Historical data: If you’ve been using the Mi Band for a while, you may have a wealth of historical data that you can now access on Strava. This includes your past workouts, sleep data, and more. You can use this data to track your progress over time and see how you’re improving.

What Are The Limitations Of Using A Mi Band With Strava?
1. Accuracy: The Mi Band uses an accelerometer to track steps and other activity, which can be less accurate than other fitness trackers that use a heart rate monitor or GPS. This can affect the accuracy of your Strava data.
2. Battery life: The Mi Band has a relatively short battery life, which can be a limitation if you are using it to track your workouts throughout the day.
3. Connectivity: The Mi Band uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone, which can be a limitation if you are not near your phone or if you have a weak Bluetooth signal.
Wrap-Up
Ultimately, while Strava does not currently support the Mi Band, there are still ways to integrate the two platforms. With a little bit of creativity and some patience, you can find a solution that works for you. Who knows, maybe one day Strava will officially support the Mi Band, but until then, there are plenty of other options to explore.
