      Hello,

      I have an S9 and i’m using Suunto app on the phone.
      I have bought a smart sensor also and sometimes it works and sometimes not.
      Is there any possibility of checking battery status? on the watch or SA?
      I was trying to add the sensor to the app and the options doesn’t exists.

      Cheers,
      Florin

        @florin2528 Right now that feature doesn’t exist, not in the app or the watch. As far as I know, only way to see battery status of the smart sensor is with the Movescount app.

          Not in Android, it has never worked. 😜
          Any other sports app show batterie level.

            Hi, I always do 2 things (with my Polar H7)

            1. Each time I finish using, I remove sensor from band (avoid sensor continues detecting HR while it’s in the drawer
            2. I have always installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lapis_semi.bleapp

                  I hope that suunto will get there, considering the prices they ask for products, you expect features like this to be available.
                  Thanks,
                  Florin

                      Wasn’t aware that you are using Android.

                        I would think that showing battery status is basic functionality everyone would expect from day one. I can’t understand why Suunto doesn’t have it in the watch and the Suunto App.

                        Also I would think that the watch should warn about low-battery status of a connected Smart Sensor.

                        I have a Stryd sensor and the corresponding App shows battery level and does firmware updates. There is a smaller vendor who can support its hardware. Why not Suunto?

                        Also it seems that I can’t even pair my Smart Sensor with the iOS Suunto App? How is that possible?

                        Some time ago Suunto has announced that the Suunto App is the future. It still can’t do basic things with the Suunto hardware, like updating and showing battery levels. Which is even more disappointing, since the Smart Sensor is expensive and the performance is less than stellar, and which also degrades with too low-battery levels…

                          @Rainer-Joswig Seems that this has not changed at all. I tried to record with the iOS app today and I could add a heart rate graph, but it did not show the HR. But in the SA settings I can see the Smart Sensor. 😩 Very weird. The Smart Sensor worked this morning with the SSU. And I‘m also searching how to check the battery level on iOS…

                            @Mauerwegler There are free apps to find/list/connect to BT devices in the range of the phone, which also report battery levels for the SmartSensor.

                                That is the one I found yesterday as well that looked good (many apps help to find the Bluetooth device, not necessarily to show its properties), but it needs iOS 17. Any other recommendations for iOS 16?

                                    @Miš-Kan Ah, thanks! That was the other one I also had found yesterday, but then could not find anymore later! Just remembered the fist logo but it did not show up again in my searches. I see that in this forum we seem to find and prefer the same apps, that is a good sign that our swarm intelligence is working.

                                        @DF130 But the one @Egika mentioned or also https://apps.apple.com/de/app/nrf-toolbox/id820906058 (never tried, just found when searching recently) might be slightly better in terms of data protection.
