Wahoo devices reach Beacon through the Wahoo app and Apple Health. Beacon recognises Wahoo as the recorder, so what it records is credited to it rather than to Apple Health generically.
What Beacon gets from it
Whatever the Wahoo app writes to Apple Health — typically workouts, heart rate and, depending on the device, sleep and daily activity. Where a session carries a GPS route, Beacon treats that distance as measured rather than estimated.
If the app writes less than you expected, Beacon simply has less to reason about — it does not treat a gap as a day you did nothing.
How it reaches Beacon
Beacon has no direct connection to this device. Its data arrives through Apple Health: the vendor's own app writes to Health, and Beacon reads from there. So what Beacon can see is whatever that app chooses to write — Beacon can't ask for more than the vendor shares.
Two things follow:
- Set up the vendor's app first, and allow it to write to Apple Health. Beacon reads whatever lands.
- Your full history imports. Apple Health is the one connection Beacon reads all the way back, not just the last 90 days.
Attribution
Beacon recognises this device by name, so its readings are credited to it rather than to Apple Health generically. That matters when you wear more than one thing: two sources reporting the same night or the same run are kept apart instead of being averaged into a number that describes neither.
