Heart rate sensor and cadence sensor not connecting

Rob_at_Garmin over 3 years ago

I use a Wahoo Kickr (connects perfect) and the Garmin sensors that came with my Garmin Edge.

The heart rate and cadence sensors do not connect properly, the Device Management screen keeps saying "Connecting".

If I use the same sensors in Zwift they connect without any problem.

Batteries are fresh, my Tacx Ant+ sensor is working fine and is no further than 1 meter away, probably closer.

Sometimes if I start a training anyway, cadence and heart rate is properlt displayed, sometimes not.

Pretty anoying.

Any suggestions?

Thx, Rob

Found it!

Zwift, upon installation, creates an auto start up entry. You can find this under settings/apps/autostart and switch it off.

Then close all apps and shut down/restart your laptop.

Now restart Tacx Desktop App and check on the Device Manager screen right top that the Ant+ symbol is NOT greyed out.

Now, hit Disconnect and then Connect for both sensors.

Worked for me, hopefully also for you :-) !
