Garmin Tempe sensor connectivity for the Edge series

Interesting.  Have you found a discrepancy between the internal temperature sensor and the Tempe?

Obviously another thing Garmin find uninteressting for cyclists, in addition to intensy minutes. Wonder why, make no sense to me. I have the tempe, but as long as it’s capable of reading decimals, and it’ss not supported in GC i find it not so usefull. But good work, should be interessting as lytleric say to see if there are any big different in the readings.

This sounds like fun. Almost makes me go buy a Tempe

Silly question though: if the tempe isn't supported, how would we pair it with the Edge so that the app can read the data?

Thank you for this. I've added both in the download queue and give them a try next time I will ride(hopefully Saturday)

I've also had some in-out email chats with Garmin on the Tempe-Edge topic. It ended up suddenly when they said again that it's not supported. 

I have the Tempe sensor always with me hanged by the Edge's wire, as I use almost every time also the Fenix6 in parallel with the Edge. 

When I tested it indoor I found that the Edge showed 4-5C more than the Tempe.

If I turn it on after a longer sleep (20-30 minutes minimum) it shows the correct temperature, however it goes up when the screen is active and the CPU is working.

Tempe and actually the internal temperature sensors of the Marq/Fenix/Forerunner watches are able to provide float numbers just Garmin, for some reason, converts it to integer.

These apps (and my other datafield for the watches) are showing/recording the temperature in float.

You can connect to the ANT+ sensors in two ways:

- Using the already paired devices for which ConnectIQ provides an easy to use interface. This need to be supported by the Firmware/ConnectIQ.

- Using direct connection to the sensor which is a little bit more difficult.

I saw that thread, that was the first result when I started to search why I was not able to pair the sensor with my newly purchased Edge

I hope it will work fine, let me know if you find anything strange.

Yes i know, i bought a hiking app in app store, work as a charm in the app. But in GC.............

using it as a data field works ok, on the couch, with a big difference of aprox 4 degrees compared to the internal temp

but i did not managed to see it in the widget
