Should I use ANT+ or Bluetooth?

Sensors and connection

ANT+ and Bluetooth are two different ways to connect sensors and trainers. The best option depends on your phone, adapters, and the devices you use.

Recommended steps

  • If your phone does not have built-in ANT+, you will need a compatible adapter to use ANT+.
  • Bluetooth is usually simpler, but it can be blocked by another connected app.
  • ANT+ can allow several devices to read the same signal at the same time.
  • If one protocol fails, try the other if your hardware allows it.
  • Avoid connecting the same sensor twice via ANT+ and Bluetooth unless you know exactly what you are doing.
