Quarq TyreWiz (v0.11) Sensors Not Connecting Reliably After v7.50 with ConnectIQ TyreWiz v1.05

Not sure if this is to do with v7.50 of the Edge 1030 firmware or v1.05 of the ConnectIQ TyreWiz app, but something bad happened within the past month.  If I stopped long enough and the TyreWiz sensors went into sleep mode, they would just drop out and never re-connect.  For the past six months, everything worked if you rebooted the Edge 1030 _after_ the sensors went to sleep and woke back up.  Now, when I start a ride, the TyreWiz sensors don't connect at all until I've ridden for about ten minutes and then reboot the Edge 1030.

It's also annoying that you MUST use two data fields for both sensors and they're using a weird font.  It would be much better to just add front and rear tire pressure settings as individual fields.  Isn't this an option with the ConnectIQ API?

Is Garmin going to add native support for these at some point?  Clearly, there's some sort of problem with ConnectIQ or Quarq's ConnectIQ app itself.  It has never worked as flawlessly as the Edge 1030 connecting to power meters, HRMs, etc.

    Hmmm, I just confirmed, and I don't even have the pair codes entered in the TyreWiz app via Garmin Express on my Fenix 5X.  I rode with it this morning and it just worked.  I'm on the latest firmware.

    I vaguely remembered that I entered the pair codes via Garmin Connect on iOS though.  Maybe Garmin Express can't read that data?  I don't know.  This software is so janky.  I can't believe Garmin would actually release something in this state.  They should just support these Ant+ sensors directly because Connect IQ is a full-spectrum failure for third-party sensors in terms of user experience.

    Still doesn't work with the Edge 1030 though.  I guess Garmin is going to release in October?  Even when the TyreWiz sensors allegedly worked, they didn't work well.  If the Edge 1030 went to sleep, the sensors would drop out and not come back until you rebooted the unit.

    Have updated to beta firmware v8.06 already?

    I'm now on 9.0, and they still don't work reliably.

    Yeah, that‘s (v9.0) the problem!
    Have you ever been on beta 8.06 0r 8.07? With that betas my ebike-field worked absolutely reliable.

    Since v9.0 the problems came back. Not the same way as with v8.0. Now my ebike-field works most of the time, but now and then it cannot establish a connection.

    I know this post is over 2 years old, but struggling to connect my Fenix 5X with my Tyrewiz - I have the tyrewiz widget? I think? I can't seem to see how to get the data field on my watch and does not look like it connects to my Tyrewiz when I try and add it as a sensor...
