Vivosmart Verbindung Mac mit ANT+ dongle möglich ?

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hallo alle,

ich habe mir einen vivofit 1 gekauft, war aber damit nicht so glücklich und habe heute eine vivosmart gekauft.

Meine Frage wäre ist es möglich (am Mac) die vivosmart mit dem ANT+ dongle der bei der vivofit dabei war zu verbinden,

oder geht das grundsätzlich nur mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel. ?

Ich habe schon die vivofit aus meinem Konto entfernt, das dongle abgesteckt und neu gestartet, aber es heist in der garmin express app immer : nicht verbunden. Nur wenn ich das Kabel anstecke dann geht es.

OK habs gefunden:

A few points of clarification.

The Vivosmart will not sync with anything using Ant+. It will sync to the Web via your BLE smartphone or your pc. It communicates with your phone only via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy aka Bluetooth 4.0). It communicates with your PC only via the supplied USB charging cable and the most recent version of Garmin Express (version 3.2.18.0).

The Vivosmart does speak Ant+ but only for the purpose of communicating with Ant+ heart rate monitors and cycling speed sensors.

When you initially plug the VS into it's charging cable and plug that cable into the USB port on your computer, you will only see a battery icon on your VS (takes 5-10 seconds to appear). To initiate USB syncing, you must press and hold the device display for another 3-5 seconds at which time a USB symbol will appear alongside of the battery icon.

As sson as all of these duck are lined up, your Vivosmart should sync flawlessly with your PC and your Garmin account in the cloud
