A couple of days ago I have come across another bug in the system, when a heart rate strap is removed, DIY keeps heart rate values displayed, ie BPM, HR zone. All Garmin HR data fields and other app's display a "0" a few seconds after removing the HR strap.

The background to it was I wanted to create "Dynamic Colours" to heart rate, speed and cadence so that if I had forgot to fit my HR strap or a battery was flat in my HR strap, speed or cadence sensor at the point of setting off for a ride or even a sensor drop out, I would see a flashing red zero which would alert me to a possible issue especially with the HR. Both speed and cadence I would notice when I start moving as the flashing red "0" would catch my eye better than a black unflashing "0".

Everything worked perfect for speed and cadence and heartrate intially flashing "red 0" and when I fitted the HR strap, it would show my HR value in BPM and Zone. But when I removed the HR strap to see if it would return to a "red flashing "0" the heart rate reading would remain about 77bpm and on occasions would rise to 133 bpm and lock up at that.

The issue is in all DIY's 1 - 6. I tried old apps that I have created in DIY and reversed what I have done today and tried saved as backups but the issue is present in everything I have done.

It is not a major issue as you do not remove your HR strap whilst riding, but if it breaks or the battery goes flat whilst riding or a sensor drop out, it could take a long time to see the problem.

After leaving the device for a few minutes and reopening the activity profile, HR values have gone back to "0"

Today on my ride, I realised in 2022 when riding London Edinburgh London Audax,, my heartrate strap broke, but I did not notice it had until I was leaving a control when I saw the heart rate was "0", but, I never saw that prior to arriving at the control. On my download of my ride, I saw that the heartrate had failed far earlier than the control and stopped recording HR but DIY was still showing it.

Now I understand why I never see any HR sensor dropouts whilst riding but on ocassions I can see by my download of the ride I have.

This morning, I also had an oddity, DIY 6 shortly after removing the HR strap, it went to "0" for bpm, but DIY 1 kept showing a reading for bpm, but I could not repeat it.

I cannot say for sure, but most likely this is a Garmin issue. In a CIQ program such as this, one is generaly just taking a value that Garmin provides. I have seen other cases where the value Garmin provides to the CIQ program is different than the value displayed in a Garmin Data Field. If this is the case, there is little the programmer can do.....
