HR data anomaly

KevB

Hi

I wear a Vivosmart 4 all day & night. I have over the past few days been wearing a Wahoo heart strap and recording my HR to my Edge 1030 using the Indoor activity.

Now the Connect App and website show peaks in my HR that are not support by my 1030 data. I assume that a chest strap is more accurate than a wrist based LED system.
Any idea why the data from the 1030 when it is synced does not overwrite the obviously inaccurate spikes in data?

    Possibly because you did not set it up as the Preferred Activity Tracker in its Device Settings » Activity Tracking

    Thanks, but I did that when I first got the 1030, although going back into both the phone and web app now I cannot find anywhere where that option now exits?

    Aha, found it under my Vivosmart 4's "Activity Tracking" page, currently set as the Preferred Activity Tracker, but no option on my 1030's settings to change it to that?
    I am sure there was an option where they should be synce'd, but again struggling to locate sign of that setting, the search continues.
    Thanks again Trux

    Hm, maybe it is indeed not possible, since Edge is not really a personal device. You probably need to pair the HRM belt with the watch directly, to have it record the HR.

    OK, this might be it.
    I have found a setting under the 1030 that takes into account other devices, but nothing like that on the Vivosmart 4 options.
    We'll see what happens...

    You can try it, but I am not sure whether it really helps. Also note that both sides need to be activated in the Physio TrueUp mode, to make it work. If it does not help, pair the HRM to the watch. If it is an ANT device, it should be possible having it paired both with the watch and Edge in the same time

    Thanks Trux, but its not a watch, its the Vivosmart 4 activity tracker, not that sophisticated :O)
    That is why I am using the Wahoo strap as it has both Ant+ and Bluetooth, my Garmin one is just Ant+ :O(

    Not sure about your exact model, but the Support page Connecting Vivosmart Ant+ Sensors seems to be claiming you can connect ANT+ sensors to Vivosmart.

    Thanks Trux, I checked that out and the original had as an accerssory an HR Strap, I assume that model didn't have the ability to read pulse using LED technology hence you could optionally connect an HR Strap.
    Appreciate your help though :O)

    Hm, yes, I see, you are right, it was just the old model. In that case you just can hope that the Physio TrueUp works. If not, I am afraid the only way to have the HR data from Edge in your GC account, is removing the Vivosmart device, or creating a separate account for Edge.
