Your issue is:

I tried to activate button actions for a BIP but it didn't seem work. (no vibration on the device and no debug logs by GB) Not sure if it's supposed to work at all with that device and firmware.
Could someone please tell me how support for button actions on BIP can be made working?
Thanks.

Your wearable device is:

Amazfit BIP
V0.0.9.40

Not supported.
But could be easily enabled

Do you mean that it's not supported by GB, but supported by the device?
I'll check the code, let's see if i can understand how it works for the MI Band

Updated my pull request with an extra confirmation feature. See #925

Any news on this one ? I would also like to use the amazfit bip button to trigger action on my phone.

Is there any news about the action button on BIP device? It's one of the most essential feature of the device.
Can someone, please, update us about the process of making it work? It would be great to help to get the things done! :D

Is there any progress on BIP button pressed event sending to other app?

Best regards,

I believe this was just added in version 0.39.1, I tried it and I think it works.
