Edge explore 2 and home trainer

Plasman

Hello everyone, has anyone managed to pair an Edge Explore 2 with a Tacx Flow Smart home trainer? Garmin states on their website that they are compatible, but the GPS does not detect the home trainer. Thank you.

    I had similar issues connecting my Zwift Hub One, but eventually found a trick to connect it properly.
    I don't fully recall how/what I did but make sure that:
    - Your phone and/or laptop/PC it's Bluetooth is temporarily turned off (so the trainer isn't connected there yet)
    - Power off the smart trainer
    - Restart your Garmin Edge
    - Have it search for Smart Trainer sensor
    - Turn your Smart Trainer on again

    My Zwift Hub One would only connect at the very start when it turned on, if it didn't get a chance to first connect with an already paired phone/laptop/PC.

    Once connected to the explore 2 you can continue connecting it to other devices in parallel.

    Thank you. Indeed, the fact that my phone was in bluetooth should have prevented the home trainer from connecting to the GPS.

    This is strange. I have a Wahoo Kickr Core and it can connect to both the Explore 2 and a phone at the same time (Ant on the Kickr, Bluetooth on the phone).
