Wahoo's speed and cadence sensor alone costs as much as a new computer that will use the sensors they already have installed on their bike. And then they have to buy a phone mount and pay for an app to use the Wahoo stuff. There's no point and it's needlessly expensive.
Agree. I just wanted to get rid of the magnet based sensors, so that's why I got rid of them. The alignment issue is a mess for me when I switch wheels and if I'm not careful when transporting our bikes. So it's a convenience issue for me. The issue has been a pain for me for years and I'm glad there are sensors available that get away from the magnet/hall effect sensor alignment strategy.
The newest version of the Wahoo blue s/c speed and cadence sensor transmits simultaneously in ANT+ and BT LE. You can actually run a computer on each protocol simultaneously using a single sensor. Not that you'd want to, but both protocols are being transmitted simultaneously real time.
