i dont want it for OBS or anything else, just as a standalone thing that displays heartrate for myself.

Just hover with the mouse underneath the heart - then an input box should appear - there you have to input your current ID 🙂
Community Member1/30/2026, 7:44:35 PM
ohh... okay thank you. for some reason i didnt think to hover under the symbol,
Community Member1/30/2026, 7:45:35 PM

The connection between the app and the heart rate sensor is constantly breaking. What can I do to fix it myself?
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:14:41 PM
could it be that you ran out of BT Range - normally it should not interrupt!
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:17:54 PM
everything is fine with the charge. I create a connection with the heart rate sensor on the website, and everything connects. I enter the link in the obs, and for a while the heart rate is there, but the connection between the sensor and the website constantly breaks.
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:30:40 PM
i asked for the Range not the Charge of the Device - just want to be sure you not running out of the Bluetooth Range - this could happen when you go away from you PC.
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:32:03 PM
The system unit is a meter away from me.
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:32:59 PM
so you are using our Webbluetooth service not the Desktop app?
Community Member2/21/2026, 4:40:43 PM
Some web browsers throttle or limit background tabs when they are out of focus. If you're experiencing this issue, make sure the webpage stays active and is not minimized or running in the background. A simple workaround is to keep the page visible — for example, you can place it behind OBS instead of minimizing it.
