Description

IpSensorMan Manages talking to various sporting sensors using ANT+™ or Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy interfaces. Using a separate app allows multiple client apps to access to the sensors simultaneously. Most of the hard work for talking to the various standard sensors is provided by the app simplifying the client apps. Simplified information is broadcast to any registered application that wants access to the sensor data.

This product is ANT+ certified and complies with the following specified ANT+ device profiles:

Bicycle speed data
Bicycle cadence data
Bicycle combined speed and cadence data
Bicycle power data
Heart rate data

The following are supported but have not gone though certification yet.

Stride Based Speed and Distance (footpod)
Environment (Garmin Tempe)
Running dynamics
Bike Radar
Fitness equipment control (FEC). Trainer control.
Shifting
Suspension
Dropper post
Remote control
Muscle Oxygen
Bike Light

Polar Wearlink®+ transmitter with Bluetooth® and Zephyr HxM BlueTooth Heart rate monitor support added with 1.2.6

Bluetooth Low Energy / Bluetooth Smart support for the following.

Heart rate
Bike speed and cadence
Bike power (Only a single sensor not dual pedals transmitting independently)
Running speed and cadence (footpod)
Stryd running power.

IpSensorMan should recognize other ANT+ sensor types although full decoding support is not currently implemented.

Currently the applications using IpSensorMan are:

IpBike an ANT+ sensor based bike computer. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.iforpowell.android.ipbike

IpPeloton an app to show details from other ANT+ heart rate monitors and power sensors. So you can easily compare your effort with your riding companions effort. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.iforpowell.android.ippeloton

IpWatts an application to log the data from multiple power sensors simultaniously with a single timebase. Also logs a single Speed, Cadence and Heart rate source. The app you need if you want to compare Power meters.

Permission reasons.


Network communications - full Internet access. The crash reporting system want this. Also I collect usage stats via flurry.com. I am really interested what phones it is installed on and what ANT+ sensors it is used with. You can switch this off from the options.


Hardware controls - ANT radio access. I won't be able to do much without this one.


System tools - modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping. There is an option to keep ANT active when the phone is in airplane mode which us useful for saving power, this needs to modify the system settings. You still need to do the airplane mode entry yourself. This feature needs at least version 2.6 of ANT Radio Services. If we are actively monitoring the ant radio the phone will not sleep, the screen may still go off though.

Bluetooth - in order to support the Bluetooth Heart rate monitors.
Location - is needed to be able to access Bluetooth low energy sensors. This is because theoretically you can then see beacons which can be used to get your location. I do not have any Beacon support.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★It is pretty unfair & rude; & bordering on invasion of privacy, by not making it an easy choice to download, keep, or delete, like all other apps on the market. Not kool android. Same as above.
1 ★It lose connection with my Giant Ridesense after 20 minutes! Uninstalling this app after this review!!!
5 ★Works great, I'm using this driver between IPBike, and Garmin speed and cadence sensors, on a Galaxy S7 edge.
4 ★I've been using ip bike for awhile. I just switch to a new phone and ip sensor man is using 24% of my battery. It's running time is constant. Is there a way to make it only operate when ip bike is running?
5 ★A great tool with ipbike. Way ahead of the mainstream.
5 ★Works with BTPatcher to use my LG Nexus 5 ANT+
4 ★This is a good app at least only app that detected my footpod and hrm...
