Just purchased a Vivosmart 5 because we have a Concept2 rowing machine which uses ANT+ and my partner has a Phoenix that connects and can record activities at the same time.
I wanted to record my indoor rowing as he does, with distance traveled etc., and see my heart rate on the rower.
I can connect to the rower if I broadcast HR, but then there is no way to start an activity without stopping the broadcast. The MoveIQ doesn't detect rowing at all, so no activity is logged.
I can start the indoor rowing activity but then I cannot broadcast HR to the rower without stopping the activity. Tracking the rowing without a connection to the Concept2 means I get no distance traveled or average pace etc. in the app whereas my partners Phoenix does.
Unless there is a fix for this then I have been mis-sold a vivosmart 5 as capable of ANT+ AND capable of tracking indoor rowing as it appears it can only do one or the other.
What am I missing?
