Hello

I will start bulding an native fitness app on bubble.  
I have purchased cycle speed cadence bike sensor with bluetooth option :

What i need to do:  
Attach the hardware to a bike, pair it with the mobile device via bluetooth and get the real time data in the app.  
From here i will manipulate the data.  
Would that be possible in Bubble?

Apps in app store that are compatible with this harware are:  
MapMyRIDE  
MapMyFitness  
Wahoo Fitness

Regards Claudiu

If you can hook it up to the Bubble API, that would work.

But to use that as a direct sensor input … that would need coding I would have thought.
