Fenix 6 and Wahoo Kickr Bike: no Heart Rate HRM ?

Does anyone know how to get a heart rate measurement on your Fenix multisport watch while being connected to a Wahoo Kickr bike and doing a Bike Indoor activity?

It's easy to pair the Wahoo Kickr Bike as a smart trainer in Sensors. With that, I can start a Bike Indoor activity, but then I only recieve speed and distance data and no heart rate measurements. When I disconnect/unpair the Kickr Bike, a heart rate measurement is visible but no speed and distance. It seems as if the connection with the Bike 'shuts down' the heart rate sensor - which is a bit weird.

I tried multiple things and even heart rate broadcast with/without 'during activity' in combination with an online platform didn't do the trick.

I don't understand why Garmin as an Indoor Bike option with a proper Indoor Bike pairing, but not being able to provide an essential sports parameter like heart rate ...

Hope someone can help me with this, and proof me wrong and Garmin/Wahoo right.

Thanks!
