Heart rate monitor that works with rouvy/zwift
I wonder if there is any specific monitor that works with those services. I assume that means being compatible with an ipad (which is how I get those services).
I have a garmin HR monitor that I use with my garmin computer, but it does not work with the ipad. Thoughts?

If it has to connect to the iPad, you will need either a HRM that support bluetooth or the NPE dongle that converts ANT+ to BT.

John told you exactly what you need.
If I was going to buy a new one I'd want a Wahoo or 4iiii that you can use with a phone or iPad and also with a Garmin.

I have the Garmin HRM and an ANT+ USB dongle and it works with Zwift on my computer, but not on my iPhone or iPad. The newer iOS devices need an expensive adapter to make them work, lightning to USB, or a lightning to 30 pin and then a 30 pin dongle. So, just get a bluetooth as suggested and be done with it.
Even though I do the same commuter almost every day, I still wear it every time.

I use this one-
https://www.amazon.com/Onlyesh-Bluet...=bluetooth+hrm
Cheaper than the name brands and it sends out both a BT and ANT+ signal so I can use it for Zwift and also have it sync with my on-bike computer while riding outdoors. It's cheap but has worked perfectly other than some issues with the contacts getting corroded after washing the strap, cleaned them with a wire brush and it's back to normal.
