HR data via connect app into tacx app?

I use a Fenix 5X Plus with an HRM-Tri for running and biking. Now I use a new Garmin Tacx Flow Smart during the winter. I struggle to use HR data in my Tacx sessions. Is there any possibilty to route over the HR data from the watch to the Tacx app? Tacx app only allows bluetooth sensors but the watch or the sensor itself are sending via ANT+. Is there a possibility to sync via Connect App or a merge of two sessions afterwards or something similiar? Thanks for your help and a happy new year.

My Venu 2 broadcasts ANT+ to the Tacx app just fine.

You need either a watch broadcasting the HR over Bluetooth (the list of compatible models can be found here: Can Garmin Watches Broadcast Heart Rate Data? | Garmin Customer Support), or a HRM strap with Bluetooth broadcasting (HRM-Dual, HRM-Pro), or an ANT+ receiver on the device where you run Tacx. There are inexpensive ANT+ sticks available for PCs (and lor Macs too). If you do not want to run Tacx on a computer, then you'd need a phone (or tablet) with ANT+ support - those do exist, but are not too common.

Your're right. I keep forgetting my Samsung S10e has ANT+ support.

Not ony that. Additionally, Venu 2, (unlike the Fenix 5X Plus from the OP), does support broadcasting over BT.

My wife has a Vivoactive 4 which is ANT+ only, which connect via her Samsung phone AFTER I insalled the ANT apps on the phone.

Maybe there's ANT apps in the Play store, or Apple whatever. Might be worth a look.
