Zwift Apple TV Garmin HRM200 flapping connection

Hello,

since the last available Zwift update 1.105.3 20.01.2026 on my Apple TV my Garmin HRM200 is flapping the connection.

I have direkt Connect all tools via Bluetooth since many years and I dont change anything.

When I connect via Companion App then works the HRM200 with a stable connection.

Has anyone the same problems or a working solution?

I try treset the HRM200, new Battery, reset Apple TV,…

Thanks

Chris

Hi @Christian_Schamp, welcome to the Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.

I can see from your account logs that your Garmin HRM200 is showing some Bluetooth disconnection errors, with a signal strength of around –84 RSSI. That usually means the device is being detected from a distance or there may be interference. It makes sense that the connection stabilizes when you use the Zwift Companion app as a bridge, since that helps clear up interference and bypasses Apple TV’s Bluetooth limits.

A couple of things you can try:

Review our guide on BLE and ANT+ Interference Troubleshooting Tips

Double‑check your Apple TV permissions

Keep in mind Apple TV can only connect to a limited number of Bluetooth devices directly, which is why we recommend using the Companion app as a bridge whenever possible.

Thanks for sticking with us.

Ride On.
