@jachet thank you for following up. Just to make sure, if you swipe up on the main screen of your Versa (to open Today app) and scroll down to Heart Rate section, can you see a number there or is it just '--'? If it's the latter one (and you do not have any 3rd party clockfaces installed - sometimes it can cause issues), at this point I am afraid you will have to reach out to Customer Support to guide you through the next steps. You can call them or use the online chat which is quite fast and convenient. I used it myself a few years back when I needed my Charge HR replaced. Here's the link to Customer Support page. Thank you for being polite and appreciative. This is harder and harder to come by.

@jachet Have you tried performing factory reset (restoring your tracker to factory defaults)? This will wipe your Versa, so please sync first. You will also need to delete your tracker from your Paired Devices list in your phone Bluetooth settings. Reboot your phone as well. You can perform factory reset by going to Settings on your Versa, scrolling down to About and tapping Factory Reset. Once Versa resets to factory defaults, you will need to set it up again by adding it as a replacement device in the Fitbit mobile app. Good luck!

@Marrrmaduke - thank you for the response and the recommended actions to resolve my Versa issue with the HR sensor not working. I have completed the factory reset as you recommended, including removing of the device from Bluetooth, restarting the cell phone and setup of a replacement device. Unfortunately there has been no change in my Versa operation. The HR sensors are not working, LED's are off. In settings the HR shows to be "ON". It appears there is something physically wrong, not firmware related. What is the next step?

I was reading the SDK guide regarding sensor and it appears it is possible to stop the sensor.
Question to moderators, specifically to @JonFitbit . Does the stop command effectively switch off the sensor, turning off the light?
Unfortunately I can not make any test as my Ionic (and his replacement) has since long passed away,

@Marrrmaduke - I am using one of the Staff recommended clock faces. Unfortunately the HR screen is showing the "-- bpm". Thank you for taking the time to guide me through the process and for forwarding the link. I will go through Customer Support as you suggest.
Best wishes Marrrmaduke. You are providing a welcomed service ... it is unfortunately that people can be so rude when someone is just trying to help. Keep up the good work for Fitbit. I am certain it is appreciated.
