HRV not syncing across the app

Vince Scamacca
I am in the trial period of using the Superset app. Overall, it’s good but has some bugs and issues that need to be worked out and a few things added to compete with Athlytic.
This issue I had yesterday was with the HRV reading showing up in the stress calculation, but not in the recovery calculation. Please see attached. I checked throughout the day and the recovery did not pull in the HRV reading.
Not sure what the issue was, but it did not make sense if the stress was able to pull the HRV data and the recovery did not.
The app has potential. But I most likely will stick with Athlytic and come back later on to give Superset another look.

Stress HRV not updating correctly

On 2 weeks trail and time to decide to pay or not.
Noticing lots of sync issues. Force close app helps most of the time. Sometimes restarting phone helps.
For 60€ a year this should be fixed asap imo.
Next I noticing under stress details the value of latest hrv does not correspond with apple health date. All permission are given. This gives a wrong stress value resulting in a wrong energy bank
Overall really love the app as it’s closes the tap to garmin metrics

If you look my health data directly and another app, you will see several HRV readings today. However, the stress shows a completely different HRV time.
I restarted the app to see if it was a refresh thing, but I got yet another time that didn't match.
I'm using version 1.3.0 (1090).

Hi Eddie, the timestamp shown isn't the time that the HRV was recorded. It's when Bevel last read your HRV values. Since Stress is showing data every 6 minutes, you'll see that time stamp here moves every 6 minutes.
I see how you can be confused and will fix make this clearer in the app.

Grey great. Thanks for the explanation.

As for the Stress HRV values, they will be different because by default the app uses RMSSD while Apple Health uses SDNN. If you want, you can use SDNN, you can edit that in Settings > Customization > Calculations.

Little update. Next value just showed up. This value is even nowhere to find in apple health for this day. Where does this value of 17ms come from

Hi Kevin, apologies. We are pushing a fix out in the next update that should make the data loading issues more stable for you.

Hi Vince Scamacca, thanks for the post. HRV that’s used for recovery is calculated during sleep to ensure that it’s consistent across days.
It looks like you did not wear your device to sleep, so Superset cannot calculate any HRV from it. If you don’t want to wear a device to sleep, you can do one of two things to fix this issue:
- Turn on the SDNN algorithm under Settings -> Calculations. This will force the app to use exactly the same HRV recorded in Apple Health. For more on RMSSD vs. SDNN, you can check out this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/supersethealth/comments/1911do5/faqs/
- You could enable mindfulness sessions under Settings -> Calculations. This will allow the app to calculate HRV during mindfulness sessions. The caveat is that you must perform a mindfulness session to get an HRV value for recovery.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a reliable way to calculate HRV for Recovery without these options. HRV can be influenced by many factors, so it’s very important to standardize how the app collects HRV.
HRV used for Stress is different from Recovery as that is using HRV throughout the day, so when you start wearing your watch during the day, the app can pull from it. HRV during the day cannot be used for Recovery calculation because it can be a misleading indicator since it varies so much throughout the day.
I hope that answers your question!
