putti23 opened this issue · 6 comments

I have got Fenix 5 and garmin usb dongle .
I have problem to add pirowflo as a sensor in my watch. It doesn't see any sensor.
Maybe pirowflo works only with with fenix 6.

I checked on fenix 5 and germin edhe 830. with no success.

Is it Bug or works only with fenix 6 ?

Hey

I got the feedback that it works for the Fenix 6 with smartrow and S4 monitor. You can check if your dongle is working with the Android app ant+ plugin sampler or ipsensorman. You need to attach the dongle to your phone via org cable.

If you can add it to your watch then you can try ergiq to see if you can connect.

Only the Fenix s6 native rowing app has the ability to get ant+ rowing data

Do you have some news for me ?

I just check a bit for garmin and you must ensure that the Garmin product support the following:

  • FE-C or FE support either

If it does then you can try make it work with the watch. I have the same issue as my Vivoactive 3 has no Ant+ profile on it to interact with fitness equipments

Check this link from DCrainmaker : link

The Fenix 6 appears not to support it but there has been an update to that. But your Garmin 830 should be able to get the data.
Maybe let's focus on that one.

But if you still Interested, we could see if we can get the Garmin 830 running as it has the FE-C and FE support
