Edge 540 dropping power meter connection after upgrading to v21.16

I am running an Assioma UNO with my Edge 540 for few months now. (I've had the UNO for a year and 540 for few months).

There were no issues until the 540 prompted to upgrade on 24th May 2024, since then I started noticing drop in connection with the UNO. And it seems like it's happening every 15-20mins or so.

I've had 2x long'ish ride since and it was happening on both rides.

Currently it's connected via BLUETOOTH

I'm still yet to try it on ANT+ - will update the post once I've tested this.

yea it can be confusing as it doesn't tell when you're scanning for sensors. I noticed with 540 it has the option to filter bluetooth or ant+ sensors - didn't have that with my fenix6

but when you add the sensor - you can go to sensor details and it will show if it's ant+ or ble then just rename it accordingly

Summary of my tests.

In V21.16, switching the PM to ANT+ solves it (workaround)

In V21.17, it is now usable again in BLE.

Thanks Garmin.

hmmm.. my UNO still drops although I noticed the drops are much quicker to recover now..still annoying and kills your nice graph!!

I also tried re-pairing them..no luck!

I solved the problem by returning the Edge 540... I decided to just keep my Bolt for now, it works fine with the Assioma Pro Mx... I didn't like the 540 anyway, seemed way too complicated.
