How to tell if a Heart Rate Monitor is supported by Breath Ball?

In general, any Heart Rate Monitor that that supports the standardized Bluetooth Heart Rate Profile should work. But to be sure, there are two ways to verify:

  1. Try to connect to a Heart Rate Monitor in Breath Ball.
    If the connection fails, there will be an error. If it succeeds, the heart rate monitor icon at the top right corner will change.
  2. Using a generic Bluetooth LE scanner app:
    If a Bluetooth LE scanner app displays “Heart Rate Service” (Service ID: 0x180D), for a given Heart Rate Monitor, then it should work with Breath Ball.
