Have you added the smartband as a trusted device?

Unfortunately, I believe that's a restriction by Google, that's how it's supposed to work.

Hi @yuanshen99,

In Android 4.4 we had added this feature ourselves and most devices also supported the option to set the range. However, since Android 5 Google added this feature as a standard to Android but it does not have the option to set the range.
