Sensor Conversion

Convert common ANT+ Fitness Sensors to Bluetooth and Vice Versa

With this device, you can convert ANT+ to Bluetooth, Bluetooth to ANT+, and simultaneously broadcast any combination of ANT+ and Bluetooth fitness sensors as ANT+ and Bluetooth. On top of that, you can transmit any heart rate monitor (including an Apple Watch) as an ANT+ or Bluetooth heart rate signal for connecting to fitness equipment.

Apple TV Optimization

Connect more devices

Apple TV is limited to 2 Bluetooth connections outside of the remote, so you are left deciding which sensors to connect. Using CÔRD or WYÛR, you can connect as many ANT+ or Bluetooth Fitness Sensors to your Apple TV as you want! Connect your sensors to CÔRD or WYÛR via ConfigurEZ, then connect CÔRD or WYÛR to the relevant sensor profiles in your favorite virtual training app on your Apple TV. It's that simple!

Apple Watch as a Heart Rate Monitor

Baked into every NPE Home Fitness product, heartbeatz technology lets you connect the heart rate monitor in your Apple Watch as if it were a standard ANT+ or Bluetooth heart rate monitor.

CORD

I absolutely love the CORD. It has been by far the easiest device to connect. The key is connecting it to a power source,(a wall plug) download the ConfigurEZ and pair your device. It really is this easy! Please bring these back in stock so that I can purchase a couple more for backup!!

Selma glad to hear it! We are happy you are thoroughly enjoying our product :)

Apple Watch and Equipment.

My Apple watch connected effectively. However, My Bike was invisible to CORD.

I suspect this is an incompatibility issue with various brands. Zwift, MyWhoosh, and IndieVelo identify my bike with cadence, power, and controllable. However, Vingo, and Orbrider require Ant+. I bought CORD to resolve this.

Though CORD only works with my apple watch. I bought a cadence sensor and CORD identified it easily. Now Vingo, which accepts cadence alone, can see my Apple watch heart rate and Cadence sensor.

I told NPE about this and they said they are working on it. I hope they find a solution.

Regardless, CORD is amazing because it has enabled me to use Vingo with HR and cadence and allowed me to include my HR in Zwift, MyWhoosh, and IndieVelo.

Thank you NPE.

Generally Good

It connects easily and transfers without any issues so far. Easy to use. My only note is that it doesn't seem to be able to send resistance or power metrics from my Schwinn AC Performance, only cadence.

Hi Katherine,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. We would be happy to help troubleshoot the issue if you can contact us via support@npe-inc.com.

Thank you,

Zwift Compatible??

NPE have been stating that they are "working with Zwift" to make steering compatible for as long as I can remember. This is obviously so blatantly false. Why they can't admit that it simply isn't compatible I don't know.

Hi Rebecca,

We are working with Zwift on the integration. The Zwift Play Controllers use a proprietary connection protocol, so until we are able to complete the integration with the Zwift team they will not be compatible. We are working on it, but these things take time, sometimes longer than anyone would like.

Thank you,

NPE Team
