Garmin sensors connecting to 2 ANT+ units simultaneously

I'd like to excute Workouts on my Garmin Edge 500 during my ride, but the Workouts won't start unless I've stopped and reset the ride (count as one Activity as it's reset).
Now I've another idea. Use my Edge 500 exclusively for Workout recording; at the same time my smartphone as another ANT+ head unit to collect Garmin Cadence/Speed sensor and Garmin HR sensor.
I'm not sure if the sensors could work with two ANT+ head units at the same time. If it's possible, I'd buy Suunto Movestick Mini USB Interface and use it on my Android phone with USB host.

Yes this works fine , i have my Edge 800 and trainerroad.com running on my computer both collecting data from Paired ANT+ sensors when using the turbo.0

I'm pretty sure you don't need to reset the current ride: just stop the timer and start the workout. Same when the workout finishes: you need to restart the clock to continue, but I've never had to use the reset when doing workouts out on the road.0

Does it also work the other way round?
i.e. can one Garmin device simultaneously connect to and receive data from two ANT devices eg HRM + Cadence monitor?0 -
yeah, i have speed/cadence and heart rate working off mine (forerunner 405 and edge 500)www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

That's one of the fundamental difference between ANT+ and the new Bluetooth sensors: Bluetooth will only pair with one receiver. People use TrainerRoad software with a USB ANT+ receiver in their computers at the same time as their Garmin head unit, which proves that ANT+ sensors will transmit to multiple receivers simultaneously.0

Hi,
I am trying to have two people in the same room wearing Garmin HR monitors and getting their data recorded in two different computers with USB ANT+ dongles, but so far I can only get both computers to display the data coming out of one of the hr monitors.
Is what I am trying to do even possible? Any suggestions of how to do it?
Thanks!0 -

i'm not sure if this would work, but could you get them to detect the relevant heart rate monitors when they are not near each other (out of range of each other) and then it should stay locked on to the correct one even when in the same room.www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0
