The “Bluetooth”<\/strong> menu is available from the “Other”<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Bluetooth-compatible heart rate monitors, radars (Garmin Varia \/ Bryton), power meters, cadence, and speed sensors are supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Garmin watch users, there is a trick to retrieve heart rate data from the watch. See the tutorial here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by ensuring that Bluetooth is enabled<\/strong> on your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, check that you have granted the BikeCompanion app permission to use Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On iOS, go to “Settings”<\/strong> and look for the “BikeCompanion”<\/strong> app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Android, in “Settings,”<\/strong> search for the “BikeCompanion”<\/strong> app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then ensure that “Nearby Devices”<\/strong> is set to “Allowed.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unable to pair your sensor, check that the sensor is not already paired with another device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you have a Polar watch, an H10 heart rate strap, and your smartphone, open the app and pair with the strap before starting an activity on the watch; otherwise, the watch will connect to the strap instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a radar, it should not be paired with the Garmin Varia \/ Bryton app (or any other app).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a last resort, you can close the app and try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
