How do I connect my heart rate via my Garmin Forerunner 235 to Zwift?

I have a Garmin Forerunner 235 with a wrist based heart rate monitor which I cannot seem to pair with Zwift on any device.  That includes my iPad, my MacBook, and my iPhone.  I have set my Garmin Forerunner 235 to broadcast my  heat rate (put it on “Auto”), but to no avail.  

Thoughts?

The Garmin only broadcast ANT+ so you would need a CABLE, 4iiii HRM or a Lighting to 30pin adapter and a Wahoo ANT+ key for the iPhone and iPad and for the Mac you would need a ANT+ dongle.

A cheaper way would be to get a Wahoo Tickr HRM that is duel band and is a chest strap which is far more accurate than a wrist based HRM.

Thanks very much.  Based on some additional research I believe you’re correct.  Sucks that Garmin watches don’t broadcast in Bluetooth.  I’ll look into the Wahoo Tickr HRM.
