Hello,
I have an edge 530, connected both an ant+ power meter and a speed sensor. It seems thought that the power meter speed data have higher priority than the ones from the speed sensor. Is there a way to change that ?

The only power meter I know that sends speed is what was the PowerTap G3 hub based power meter.
What power meter are you using?
A wahoo kickr v5 so technically is a bike trainer . But it's connected as a power meter, not with fe-c
If your trainer is the one from the DC Rainmaker article below, the ANT+ power meter has following functionality:

If you were paired to it as trainer then I would expect it to give you power and speed, but if you are paired purely as pair power meter and have not also paired to it as speed sensor then I would not expect it to be giving you speed.
The problem is not that I don't get speed reading, it's that I don't want them. I pair it like a sensor so I suppose that one uses the power meter profile instead of the FE-C one
Correct if you pair to it is power meter then you should not speed via that pairing.
The trainer may also show a speed sensor in which case you can pair to that as well.
Otherwise disable the power meter pairing and pair to it as trainer.
They are not separate as ant+ power meter profile supports speed (page 0x11 if I recall correctly). If I connect it as a trainer then zwift will lose control over it.
All those raise the same problem/question on what logic the speed from a power meter is prefered over the speed of a speed sensor - what is the point connecting to the speed sensor at all, just to waste battery ? And why there no option to select your source.
The only time that a real power meter sends speed is if it is using the wheel torque profile. In that case the wheel revolution information is sent as it is needed to calculate power from the supplied torque values.
If the information is needed to compute power than it takes priority over a stand alone sensor as the information is linked and should come from the same source.
So for a wheel torque based power meter the wheel revolution information takes priority over the wheel revolution information from a speed sensor.
This similar to power meters that send cadence and torque. The cadence value from the power meter takes priority over that from cadence sensor.
Hmm, I see. Yes seems to be that way. I checked it in simulant, although it seems to transmit also some power only pages periodical.
Either way I think the sensor selection should be more configurable.
I thought a way to by pass the wheel thing connecting the kickr via Bluetooth, but for some reason the edge can't connect to it, it stays on connecting status
The Edge does not support the BLE equivalent implementation of FE-C
