Unanswered Shimano SC-E7000 Garmin

[swiftpaws]

Hey, I have a bike with
* Shimano EP8
* Shimano SC-E7000

Currently I am using a Garmin FENIX 6 and would like to know if it would be possible to collect&log data like support level and battery % into garmin connect & later strava?

I have looked at a few threads and from what I can see most people use EDGE devices to couple directly with the SC-E7000.
If possible, I would like to avoid buying further equipment. Bike is already very heavy on the wallet ?

"Shimano step E8000 data fields" in Connect IQ Store shows bike data on watch during ride and will provide historical data to Garmin Connect.

Old thread but piggy backing off the idea. I would like to connect my Phenix 6 to an SC-e7000, but am having no luck. Should it not just sense it as a new sensor? The Garmin 130 found it no problem. Anyone else have this config and had success?

Okay so now neither the 130 or the Phenix 6 watch can see the SC-e7000 as a sensor. Am I doing something wrong? Am I the only one having this problem?
