The list of supported devices is there (and too short, none of my wireless devices work).
Big sad, it looks like they're focused mostly on Amazfit devices. But they do allow requests: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Support-for-a-new-Device
If you request a device and tell them you're willing to be a guinea pig, MAYBE they'll add yours. Your chances are better if it's a device that's already popular and they've received multiple requests.
I've looked if I could do it myself as well, but there's basically nothing but "look at how it's done on similar devices". It's fantastic to build an app to support all those devices, but it's a bit of a shame not to provide guides so others can contribute to support it.
