Did I dream, at one time, sensor battery low messages used to get displayed ?

When a cadence, speed, HRT, power meter sensor is at low battery status, did/does the 1030 used to display this ?  I am pretty sure this used to be the case, but it seems to have stopped displaying these messages ?  Or was it just a dream ?

    Yes it does. As a notification that you have to tap and make go away.

    With the message also there is a change on how the icon of the sensor on the top of the display in the home page is displayed.

    After you got warn about the battery, it changes from grey/black to red.

    I received a message about my power meter battery last week

    I got a shifting sensor low battery warning while out riding this morning. 1030 with FW 9.50.

    Thanks for confirming..thought I was going mad as thought I saw it with a cadence sensor 12 months ago.  My1030 showed no HR signal (from a Garmin strap) on a ride yesterday, but didn't get an icon colour change, and definitely did not get a pop up in which you have to click on. On return, replaced the battery (it was only 2.2v!) and all returned to normal....so def the battery was dead.

    Is there somewhere to enable this sensor battery low notification (and I have turned it off somewhere) ? I am 9.50

    IIt's a little complicated: There are sensors where warnings come and others where no warnings come.
    It is because not all sensors transmit the battery status.
    There is an IQ widget that shows the battery status for each sensor - so you can check:
    https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/cb37c944-ba2f-4c38-8a93-72dc9d8e934b#0

    Me - for example - never got a warning for my HR belt (Wahoo) or Garmin speedsensor 1. generation.
    But I get warnings for Stages powermeter and Garmin speedsensor 2. generation.

    I have never seen any status for my HR belt on my Edge 1030 under sensor information other than "OK".
