Fitbit Charge 6 Heart Rate Broadcasting not working with Zwift(or smart trainer)

ANSWERED

I tried out Fitbit Charge 6's HR broadcasting, but it wouldn't work both with Jetblack Volt smart trainer or syncing with Zwift on Desktop. For Zwift on Desktop it prompted me to "play" HR to device, but it never received it. For Jetblack Volt it never prompted me to send HR.

@Baz118 I didn't manage to get it working with my mobile phone and Zwift. Some people say they got it working although not without issue. I spent some time on it but eventually, not worth it. Putting the chest strap on is quicker and it just works 🤷

This feature is very limited and works only with very small subset of fitness equipment.

Got it, thanks. I'll open a thread on Zwift's forum as well. Hopefully it gets added. Would be really nice to have vs wearing/charging an another device.

Connecting Fitbit charge 6 to Zwift via Apple TV. Works great for 2 minutes then loss of communication. Thought it maybe number of devices however after removing cadence still drops out. Could try pairing via phone. Anyone had similar issues.
