ANT+ and 4.3

[lotus49]

I am a cyclist and I have an S4 which is currently running stock rooted 4.2 (pre Knox).

I shan't be installing any more stock ROMs because of Knox but I understand that Cyanogenmod based on 4.3 for the S4 is now out and I'm thinking of upgrading. My only real reason for doing so is that I had understood that 4.3 would support ANT+ devices (e.g. a heart rate monitor).

My simple question is, does it? Have you used an ANT+ HRM with 4.3? I'd like to hear your experiences if you have.

Yes it does work. I have connected my Garmin ANT+ heart strap to S Health and it works.

Excellent. Cyanogenmod 10.2 will be finding its way onto my S4 shortly and a new item will be added to my letter to Father Christmas.
