I have a Garmin 520+ with a spd sensor 2,cadence sensor 2, a HRM dual and I ride on a Elite Qubo fluid trainer .I would like to start indoor training on zwift, could anyone advice me if I require any gadget for my Garmin to connect to zwift, or will this set up automatically connect to zwift.

The garmin has no use in zwift, you need an ANT+ USB stick or a Bluetooth stick for the PC/Laptop and pair the sensors directly with Zwift

It's not the 520 you're connecting to Zwift, the 520 doesn't broadcast data like that anyway. The sensors are paired directly to Zwift.

Any USB Ant+ stick will work

I used a "Suunto move stick mini", to interface my sensors and the lap top which is running Zwift.
My garmin cadence, speed, and heart sensor are all ANT+, and so is the Suunto USB dongle.
Check what your sensors are, Bluetooth or ANT+.
Hope this helps

I use Apple TV for Zwift. If you use that I think it only has Bluetooth connectivity. If your sensors are ant+ I believe you can get something that converts ant+ to Bluetooth.
