Recovery Time and Heat Acclamation

I’ve been using a FR955 for some time and recently got an Edge 540 with a HR strap and no power meter. I’ve got out on a few rides and specifically a 3 hour ride where at the end, the edge did not add any recovery time and my heat acclimation went down despite cycling 70km in 30C heat. Will the edge ever add recovery time or am I missing something?

    heat acclimation: you need to connect with your Edge to your phone via BT, Garmin Connect must run in the background, because it receives the weather datas from internet (so not the Edge's inbuilt temp sensor is the reference, if the nearast weather station reports only 20C to your Edge but the measured already 30C, you wont receive any Heat Acclimation "bonus". so it is sometimes a bit of gambling)

    regarding recovery time: you must set up your primary training device in Connect (i suggest that let the FR955 primary wearable and primary training device) and check the Physio TrueUp settings::
