Hey, thank u for this great Work.

I have a problem. the MIBAND does not connect to the browser. The field for connecting does not appear.

The following is output.

...This browser doesn't support bluetooth web API

I have already selected and allowed all authorizations for Chrome.

The server runs over NodeJs

Hello @sanja181, to be able to collect data from your MiBand 2 follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Laptop has Bluetooth enabled
2. Go to chrome://flags and lookup for the #enable-experimental-web-platform-features preference and enable it (available in macOS, Linux and Windows 10+)
3. Restart your browser
4. Open the MiBand official app and unpair the device, if you are not sure how to do this please refer to the next link: How to 5. Unpair Xiaomi MiBand 2 (this has to be done to get the smart band visible in Bluetooth devices)
5. Run the project with npm run dev and press the "Start" button
6. Your MiBand should appear on the device list.

Please be aware that this code only works with a MiBand 2, I tried to use it with a newer MiBand (version 4) and while I was able to link it to the browser, no data was available.
