[Compatibility Report] Works fine with Wahoo Tickr (previous generation) #42
Comments
Thanks! Leave this ticket open and I'll close it when I update the readme. |
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my TICKR to re-pair with Windows, so I'm not sure that it's stable enough to report compatibility. |
Perhaps this is related? #50 |
I was referring to actual Windows OS' Bluetooth pairing. I can't even get Windows 11 to find the chest strap anymore, even when my phone finds it just fine. In other words, I will go to pair a new Bluetooth device in Windows, and then simultaneously try to pair a Bluetooth device with my phone. My phone sees the Wahoo, but Windows doesn't. So something bizarre has happened. I don't know that it's worth troubleshooting given the availability of other known-good devices. I just ordered another cheap Bluetooth HR monitor and I will make a report if that one works -- but it's predicated on it pairing to Windows in the first place. |
Second BLE HR monitor and Windows 11 doesn't find it. I'll buy one of the supported ones and try that next. |
I would suspect that this has more to do with your Windows setup than the hardware. Do you have a second system you could try on? |
So it appears to be an issue with Win11 and BLE. Microsoft ships an app called "Bluetooth LE Explorer": If you use this app to discover the BLE devices, and then pair here, it works. My Tickr is now re-paired and is being read by the app. So, I think this device is actually supported after all. You may want to add a note for Win11 users that they may need to try to pair using the mentioned app because Win11 may not find the monitor(s) otherwise. |
Ah this is great to know. I'll play with it and write up a guide. Trouble shooting bluetooth is unfortunately difficult so any case reports like this really helps. |
I tested this with a previous generation Tickr:

It worked fine.
