+A sensor manager is a central place in the app where you can connect your Bluetooth and ANT+ sensors to Locus Map and manage these connections. Locus Map supports a wide range of **BT4, BT3, ANT+ and USB sensors**.
+===== How to add a sensor =====
+  * **activate the sensor** and make sure it emits BT or ANT+ signal
+  * tap {{:manual:user_guide:tracks:add.png?nolink&30|}} in the manager and select the **type of sensor** - a GPS, a heart rate monitor, a bike radar, an e-bike..., including the **type of connection** - BT 4 or 3, ANT+ or USB
+  * Locus Map starts **searching** for the sensor and displays a **list of available devices**
+  * **pick your sensor** to add it to the manager. If it is [[..:..:faq:support_for_hrm_monitors|supported]], it connects immediately:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors01.gif?nolink |}} This way you can connect **several sensors at once**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors03.jpg?nolink |}}
+===== Dis/connecting =====
+Added sensors stay in the manager. When you want to disconnect some, tap DISCONNECT. If you want to connect some, tap CONNECT.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors04.jpg?nolink |}}
+===== Removing and renaming =====
+If you want to **remove** a sensor from the manager, tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_more_ver_alt.png?nolink&20|}} and select **Remove**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors05.jpg?nolink |}}
+To **rename** the sensor in the list, select **Settings** in the same menu and rename the sensor.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:sensors06.jpg?nolink |}}
+<WRAP center round tip>
+If you want a specific sensor to **start automatically** with track recording of a specific activity, you can set it up in the **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:profiles_settings#advanced_settings|track recording profile settings >>]]**
+</WRAP>
+<WRAP center round info>
+Locus Map is also now open to **community-developed sensor adapters**. Third-party apps can integrate their own sensors—specialized BLE devices, protocols specific to certain e-bikes, and custom hardware—and real-time data from these sensors will appear in the sensor manager, on the dashboard, in the audio coach, and in the route recording. You can find the developer SDK at [[https://github.com/asamm/locus-api|github.com/asamm/locus-api]].
