Sense looking for heart rate even when not being worn. Any Idea how to only have it read when worn?

@TK79  I've found that when I take off my Sense the heart rate sensor lights can continue to flash. When resting on its side it seems it can still pick up a reflected signal from the sensor so thinks it's still being worn. This does not happen when resting on a dark surface (presumably less reflective). I use a square of black card to avoid this problem.
