Sending sensors data to PC

Not sure why you'd exclude cloud in 2019 as that's the normal way to build such a solution. My Event Hub App in the store allows all sensor data to be uploaded in real time from as many watches/devices as you want and can then visualise live in Power BI (or some other system). I've also created a demo to mix this with machine learning to analyse data in real time.

I could not installl the Event Hub App:

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b27ddfe5-e5f7-4754-94ce-ce3007fe49b9

since it does not work on any of my GARMIN watches. For the Event Hub App

     - a new watch is needed

     - a Microsoft Azure abo is needed

     - and a software engineer is needed

Is there no easier solution to solve this problem?

If you are writing your own app and have questions, you're in the right place

If you are looking for someone to write an app for you, you should be posting in the app ideas forum

If you don't like how an app in the store works, the best source is to use "contact developer" for that app in the store.

Is there a reason not to have an open discussion about an app? I m interested in the EventHubApp, and I miss a discussion about this app.

None of my watches is compatible with the EventHubApp. Therefore I can t write a review in the Connect IQ store. But DaveDoesDemos has instructional videos about the EventHubApp. I started a new thread to discuss the EventHubApp:

Is it possible to send sensor data to PC via a livetracking service? For instance by building a new livetracking.io service from old components? I started a new thread, to discuss this subject:

«The infrastructure behind my project for example costs pennies to run»:

Prices to use the EventHubApp, are, if I got it right:

     - Microsoft Azure starts at $13 a month

 Are these pennies to run the EventHubApp correct?

  "So again my main question is: Am I able to get the data from watch to PC via ANT+ or BLUETOOTH? I am able to program some simple app just for communication between the PC and Watch so I can get the data whenever I want (when they are in range of course)"

  A possible solution to send sensor data from a GARMIN watch to a PC can  be found here:

With a Moxymonitor ANT to Serial Converter:

and a C# Bridge to Dr. Scott Hardens Scott Plott and Dr. Scott Hardens Cookbook:

http://swharden.com/scottplot/cookbook.md.html

There would be a low-cost high quality solution to stream ANT+ sensor data to a PC. With other solutions, I failed to this date:

Developers welcome

Unfortunatly, Dr. Scott Harden has no Garmin GPS watch to develop a C# bridge to his ScottPlott:

https://github.com/swharden/ScottPlot/issues/322

I have one, but I m only a Meditator with a GITHUB account:

https://github.com/PeterGamma

and no C# programming skills.

What about AlphaMonkeyC

?

I m looking for a C# programmer with a heart for Meditators to program this bridge. Or an AlphaMonkeyC to program a real-time Namaste app wich connects to Dr Scott Hardens Scott Plott.

Now, it is also possible to live-stream sensor data to Microsoft Excel, personal communication from Moxy CEO Roger Schmitz:

And to any application that can read and decode a serial string.

Will there be a revolution in streaming sensor data to a PC with bluetooth smart sensors and the GATT client-server scenario as specified in the Bluetooth core specification and Wireshark?

After complaining in DC Rainmakers Blog this instruction went through the spam fighter of the Garmin Forum. It is an instruction how to send sensor data to Matlab,  Python and other applications for Cycle Nerds..

When your Garmin watch supports Bluetooth low energy broadcasting, you can also send sensor data to a PC through the Peloton open source bike computer, which is based on the Clue chip:
