I have a Bluetooth heart rate monitor that worked on Xert, but is broken. I have an older Garmin heart rate monitor that I believe is ANT+ and it doesn’t work on Xert. I put a new battery in it. I have an iPhone SE 2nd Gen (updated to current iOS). I looked on the Apple app store for some Ant+ app, but didn’t see one. Is there some piece of equipment or app I can get to make my Garmin heart rate monitor work on Xert? Thanks very much for any info. Regards, George
An iPhone requires a Bluetooth connection.
I’m not sure if the NPE CABLE device is available any more. That converts ANT+ to BLE.
CABLE - THIS IS ANT

AFAIK the only ant+ to bt adaptor was for the old 30 pin iPhone connector, I don’t think there is any way of doing it with Lightning connector.
The NPE device is no longer available but the same company do a WYUR device which is similar.
My cable has been brilliant and I would not hesitate to get the WYUR from the same company North Pole Engineering

Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out.
For the price of the WYUR you can get a new HR monitor? Polar h10 broadcasts two Bluetooth channels (so to Xert app and eg Zwift or Rouvy or whatever your preference, over Bluetooth) and ANT+ (to garmin or wahoo or whatever), plus has has more frequent sampling / more precise RR intervals so you can measure HRV (if that’s of interest)
Or, if you have a garmin bike computer that supports the Xert workout player you can use your ANT + HR monitor with that for free…

Wesley - Thanks very much for the info. I’ve learned things about heart rate monitors and ANT+/Bluetooth I didn’t know.
