As a general rule: Open the compatible app you would like to use and find the settings. Look for “connect to sensor” or another similar option. You must connect each sensor separately for each app you use.
  NOTE: Bluetooth devices can only pair to one app at a time. Make sure to close any background apps that may be using the sensor before connecting to a new app.
