This is pretty cool - could be a useful tool if you start seeing sensor drop outs

At least you and me love them. And we expressed this love, since we have 6 Tempes altogether.

OK, my new hypothesis is that the Sensors are displayed in GCM if and only if:
- your sensor reports battery status

- you social security number's 5th digit is a prime

- the 7th digit of the sensor…

Tempe certainly deserves more love! It won't show as a sensor in this list, because the sensor ID of a Tempe is never stored in activity FIT files. But that has advantages; you can record data from more…

I don't know, I had a nap when that was discussed ;)

Ok, check please if this was correctly added to your overall sleep time, and report back

So...I am no nearer trying to figure why some sensors appear and some don't - and I even did a rain dance, and sung incantations to see if it helped

This mornings bike ride while having my wake up coffee (recorded on the 255 and F6)

And I can see the Polar H9 in the sensor list here:

..but not here still!

I have no idea whats going on :)

Still nothing regarding the Polar H9 showing up via ANT and I've used that HRM exclusively for the last few days....

Where is the 2nd image (1st list) from?

Did somebody get the Garmin UT800 to send the battery information to Garmin Connect?

Today I ran again with one of my Garmin Tempe pods. Since the Temperature displayed by my Fenix 6X was too high compared to realitiy during my run I checked whether Tempe is connected at all and the high number is just the result of direct sunlight or it is not connected.

It was connected. I exploited this check to have a look at the Battery Status row of About. It showed "OK".

Today after the wifi sync of the activity I checked and Tempe as a sensor is still not shown. Tempe is not loved by her parent, Garmin. ;-)

I still find it very hit and miss what sensors appear. My Polar H9 has never showed up even though its reporting a low battery alert when the ANT connection is estsblished. (I have used the H9 exclusively recently hence non of the other HRMs showing a recent status)

I purchased a H10, and yesterday I tried it for the 1st time. I intentionally connected it via ANT, and here it is, now I see it in Sensors. So our assumption that it only adds sensors connected via BT is incorrect.
