Hi, Im looking at getting an HRM but i am unsure how it will sync with my android phone, or at the very least, my micoach account online.

 

It looks pretty easy if you own an iphone/ipod.

 

I am pretty sure my phone doesnt support ANT+ so what can i do?

 

Can i use the HRM during a workout/run and then use 'Connect' for pc/mac to sync to micoach? or alternatively do i also need to get a 'pacer'?

 

As you can see i am pretty lost with the lack of connectivity,

 

Please help.

  • Hi stevedick!

     

    Unfortunately the HRM is not supported by Android devices. Also, in your case, the HRM would not work neither with the CONNECT for PC/Mac, since this is only used to sync the data that your SPEED_CELL recorded while training.

     

    In your case, if you want to use a HRM for your training, as you mentioned, you would need the Pacer and if you already own the SPEED_CELL you can use this as a Stride Sensor.

     

    Alternatively, HRM is also supported for iPod/iPhone via CONNECT for those devices.

     

    Thanks for your understanding,

    • Are there any plans for micoach users to have the ability to use a heartrate monitor when using micoach with an android phone?  that is the primary issue I have with micoach as I like to use heartrate as a guide.  Thanks!

      • Hi bluegreen,

         

        At the moment we do not have any ETA for this feature, however, whenever we know of something we will let you know for sure.

         

        Thanks!

        • Hi MissTennis1,

           

          I can see you do not have any fixed dates in terms of the feature development. However, I hear many people waiting for the opportunity to enhance their micoach gear for a reasonable price, so could you confirm whether the feature development is planned or (what would be even better) already ongoing?

           

          Best regards,

          S.

        • Yup I am also waiting for this functionality and am happy to pay for devices - it seems like as apple change the iphone to have a different connection for the transducer that talks to the hrm - and  that the existing iphone and hrm combo will need refreshing anyways..... it is a  perfect time to get an android hrm device out there - surely all the folks who want this will easily pay for the development costs.

    • This is disappointing. I really like the micoach app and system, but with the poor reviews of the speed cell and lack of hardware support or development, I don't think this is heading in the right direction.
