Which app do you use on the watch ? Garmin Indoor Bike ?
Where do you configure the sensor ?

Depending on what sensor it's:

Settings - Sensors - Add new - Search all (or search cadence) - wake up sensor - select sensor when it's found.

After that pairing the watch will find that sensor during indoor/outdoor bike activities

Where do you see the values of the sensor ? I dont see kilometers or anything else...

It's a cadence sensor. It will only give you pedal revolutions. To get distance you'll need to have a wheel size set somewhere then multiply that by the cadence x time. The 5S Plus will only report the cadence if you set up a data field to see it. If you want to see distance on the device, you will need a sensor on the wheel and set a wheel size in the sensor settings.
