Hi - I’ve tried searching for the answer to this but no luck, so hoping you can help.
I’ve got a One Plus 6 and although Zwift is connecting to my Elite Qubo turbo, it’s not picking up my Garmin HRM-Run (I’m an injured runner turning into an indoor cyclist… )
The HRM is connecting to my watch as it always has done, so I don’t think the hrm is the issue (and yes, I’ve tried turning my watch off to break the connection and tried again to connect with Zwift).
Am I doing something wrong? Should the hrm-run work with Zwift running on Android?
I’ve found the same, the hrm run doesn’t show up as an option. No idea why. I’ve tried connecting the hrm run to my watch (945) and selecting that in Zwift (it shows the watch as available for hr) as a work around but it doesn’t show in the game, even though it says connected. Still records hr in Garmin Connect.
I tried this way because it works on the treadmill by selecting virtual run on the watch. I’m guessing we’d need virtual ride for it to work on the bike?
After digging a bit deeper it seems both the Garmin hrm run and hrm tri are Ant+ only. My tablet would need an ant+ USB dongle, that might be the case with your phone.
I was pretty sure that my OnePlus6 has ant+ capability, and it does, but it was turned off.
I downloaded the ‘Ant+ Tester’ app and was able to turn the firmware on from there. Possibly need to install the ‘ANT+ Plugins’ app too, but I’m not totally sure because I’ve confused myself slightly going round the houses on this.
My tablet needs an ant+dongle unfortunately, Tom. They’re cheap enough though so I’ve ordered one. It’s not a game breaker as I only generally use the turbo once a week, and the Garmin works fine on the treadmill. Be nice not having to wear two on the bike though
Guys, what does the tablet has to do with connecting the sensors ?
I just got a new smart trainer to use Zwift and none of my sensors are connecting. Garmin Tri HRM and Cadence sensor.
This is very frustrating as this are things that should automatically function. But I see lots of comment about the iPad or iOS. What does this has to do with the connectivity ?
Hi - I am looking for some advice on this as well. I have the new HRM Run which should be Bluetooth compatible (works with non-Zwiftn apps so pretty confident). I am running a MacBook and a Wahoo KickR but can’t get the HRM to connect to it at all/ tried switching all other Bluetooth devices off (except the KickR).
Any help please. As I am finding my welding having to do a general cardio workout on watch just to have some record of heart rate.
As @Tom_Moriarty mentioned I am pretty sure the Garmin HRM Run is ANT+ only. IIRC the only Garmin heart rate monitors that offer Bluetooth are the HRM-Dual and HRM-Pro (which was just released).
You can buy an ANT+ dongle for about $10-$20 on Amazon that you can plug in to your computer and it will let you use the HRM-Run you have currently.
Hi Derek, I have pretty much the same set up except that I was using my watch (but couldn’t connect), I was thinking about buying the HRM Run, but seeing your post I am not sure.
I was wondering if you find a way to connect it all together ?
At the moment my work around is
indoor bike activity on my VA4
zwift activty send to garmin
I export both activities and then merge the HR…but it’s a bit time consuming.
Anyways, make sure that the Garmin Dual HRM is not connected to your iPad, iPhone or other app. I would suggest making sure that the Garmin Connect App is fully closed on both devices. Koos_Jansen: warning triangle next to the ANT+ icon top left of the pair screen.
