Pair Zwift Hub One with Forerunner 935

Hi Guys, I am thinking about buying the zwift hub one and have a newbie question about this.

I would lime to pair my garmin forerunner 935 with the hub, so that when I cycle I‘ll also have my HR in the data. And then - afterwards - have the zwift training also in my garmin connect account.

Are both requierements possible? Or will i need to track one activity on both accounts?

Thank you,
Christian

Just broadcast your forerunners ( like i do ) HR to zwift ( ipad, apple tv, pc whatever ). It will be detected as a BT device. Then sync to strave ( and connect within strave towards Garmin)

The FR935 only broadcasts HR in ANT+, it does not broadcast it in Bluetooth like the newer versions. If you’re using Zwift on a PC/Mac you can pair your watch directly to Zwift in game using an ANT+ dongle.

You can pair HR monitors directly to the Zwift Hub for bridging via Bluetooth but I don’t know if it does with ANT+ (I would guess it doesn’t but not sure).

Looks like bridging the HRM is Bluetooth only…

Bluetooth HR broadcast requires the 945 or newer…

First I read it the way you did but then I wonder if it meant it would convert an ANT+ signal to BT for rebroadcast. I think you’re right but I don’t know.

The Jetblack Volt docs are more concise and say that only BLE HRMs are supported. Probably same with the Hub.

Dear all,

Thank you for your quick help. Thats really great.

What I don‘t know is how to proceed :laughing:.

Dont want to buy a new watch just because I change my indoor cycle set-up.

And i thought i could use my apple tv too.

Personally, if you really want your HR to be accurate, I would suggest buying an actual HRM, anyway. I have found that the HR coming from Garmin watches to be VERY suspect during activities. You can likely find a good one on Amazon, that will broadcast both BT and ANT+, at a reasonable price. I have a Coospo that, I think, cost around $30.

Hi @Nigel_Tufnel,

yeah I know what you say, but i don‘t like a HRM around my chest :man_shrugging:

Maybe the solution is the ant+ dongle and i mirror my mac on the tv

I’m using a Coospo HW706 arm band HRM which I like better than my Garmin chest strap. It is optical like a watch, but fits better around the upper forearm.
