How to connect Heart rate sensor.

I have Garmin Connect app in an Android Phone. I want to try to connect a Coospo Heart Rate sensor and a Btwin Cadence Sensor. I don't know how can I connect these sensors. It is possible to connect No Garmin sensors in this app? How? Thanks in advance!

The Garmin Connect app does not support direct sensor connection.

As tmk2 correctly wrote, you cannot connect the sensor directly to the app, but if you own a Garmin device (what I assume is the case if you use Garmin Connect), then you can connect the external HRM to the device (at the majority of them). Since the exact way, and the possibilities, differ from one model to another, you best look it up in the user manual of the respective Garmin device.

Given the purpose of the Connect app, I fail to see the benefit of connecting an HR sensor to it. However, there are lots of apps in Google Play that will report heart rate from a sensor. Some are very basic and just report heart rate others are full fledged fitness trackers.

One app that comes to mind is Wahoo Fitness where you can also record activities. It used to automatically connect to Garmin but that stopped a few years ago. I'm not sre about Google Fit.

Also, you might need to to install ant+ add-ons on your phone to get them to work.
