Edge with Garmin HRM but still no intensity or training load?!?

I have a Garmin Edge 520 and use it with my Garmin HRM-PRO when on the bike. However although the Garmin app recognises I have done a training session when out on my bike it is not counting towards my intensity minutes or training effect or exercise load?

Am I doing something wrong?

I previously used my Fenix 6 when on the turbo and that does count so I can’t understand why it doesn’t with a HRM

You're not doing anything wrong. The Edge 520 doesn't have those features.

I realise the edge doesn’t have those features but the pairing of the edge and my Garmin HRM has all the info to do that in the same way my turbo plus my HRM does. That is why I can understand why my turbo activity counts but my actual bike activity doesn’t??

That's because - as you said - previously you used the Fenix 6, which supports both intensity minutes and TE and TL, while the edge does not support these features. It does not matter which external sensors you use and which bike you are on.

All sorted the Edge plus HRM PRO does indeed record intensity minutes so long as you pair the HRM to your app and not just to the Edge.

Oh, ok, so you have the HRM-Pro. Somehow I missed that info. Glad to hear you have it sorted out.

Hello, how did you make that work. I am not getting the intensity minutes from the hrm-pro. I have it paired with my garmin connect and edge. thanks
