HR broadcast to Wahoo not working?
-
@gkaempfer I confirm, same problem for me. Vertical 2 and Bolt 2.
-
@gkaempfer I just checked this on a Wahoo Ace. The Wahoo recognised the broadcast but when I started the activity it showed no HR.
-
@UjcoCZ I record on both devices. During biking, I navigate with the Wahoo (can’t use the V2 because the screen turns off). I would like to see my HR on the screen in front of me. Eventually I normally upload to Strava and delete the Wahoo recording. I don’t think I can send the Wahoo recording directly to Suunto and I probably won’t because it’s a backup in case something goes wrong with Suunto (never happened to me).
-
@gkaempfer Not working for me either with Roam v3. It pairs fine but HR is never shown on the Wahoo device. We need a fix, Suunto!

Apparently works with Garmin 1050 (see https://forum.suunto.com/post/189434). All the above Wahoo devices support ANT+ so that isn’t the issue. There is some other compatibility issue.
-
@gkaempfer Suunto transmits via Bluetooth, not ANT+. There’s no issue with the Hammerhead, just FYI. I still don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use a heart rate strap and log everything on Wahoo, then transfer it to the Suunto app if needed. Yes, there’s still an issue with power zones and heart rate zones—specifically, their graphical display. But the data is transferred.

Vertical 2 shouldn’t have ANT+. My Roam2 shows and connect it as ANT+ and doesn’t show any HR.
On phone, it’s visible in BT devices but OnelapFit doesn’t see anything. -
@gkaempfer
The HR broadcast is using Bluetooth and not AnT+.
Normal that you didn’t see data if you try to use that Ant+protocol. -
@UjcoCZ It’s really simple: I want to see my HR during my exercise on a screen I can read without hazard during a mountain bike ride (e.g. on a single track). I don’t want to lift my arm from the handlebar for that. The integration of app isn’t that important. I’m fine with the Suunto app and it uploading to Strava.
-
@Mff73 I guess that something misleads Wahoo to wrongly detect the Suunto signal as ANT+. My guess is that both Suunto and Wahoo could technically fix this. I would also guess that it’s a bug on the Suunto side given Wahoo works fine with other watches and HR sensors.
-
@UjcoCZ I also record on both. I like backup of having the two devices recording and also have waypoints for say a cafe on the V2.
Wahoo does not natively upload to SA.
I did consider the Hammerhead but for the type of riding I do the battery isn’t good enough. And I’m on my third generation of Wahoo computers and they have all been excellent.
-
@Audaxjoe I understand both of you, though I prefer simplicity—having two parallel recordings isn’t exactly that.
I get your love for Wahoo; I’d probably set waypoints on it and then use the RunGap app to transfer the data. It can even do it automatically.
He rides single tracks, where the heart rate reading from the watch is just as bad due to vibrations, so he uses a heart rate strap. He doesn’t primarily want dual tracking to have proof for his wife of where he was :).
He’s looking for a solution that doesn’t make much sense.

@UjcoCZ luckily we are all different. I am totally happy with my setup and it good to hear you like yours
