I have a trainer for my bike that I use when the weather isn't good and I want to ride inside.  I bought  Wahoo Speed and Cadence sensors for my bike, and although I could register both of these as Accessories for cycling (in S-Health), I couldn't get the Speed sensor to show speed in the S-Health "Cycling" activity.  To make this work, I had to turn off (1) Location (in Settings) on my S20 phone, (2) Autodetect Workouts on my Watch 5 Pro, and (3) Location on my Watch 5 Pro.  Otherwise, the internal GPS on the phone and watch will take precedence over the output of the Wahoo Speed sensor.  Also note that this will only work for the "cycling" activity; it will not work for "exercise bike", likely because the  "exercise bike" activity isn't expecting any kind of speed input.

I recently purchased a Wahoo RPM Cadence bike sensor for use with my exercise bicycle and Samsung Health app, only to find out that the sensor only works for Cycling, not an Exercise bike. I tried to use the Cycling exercise with the exercise bike, but it auto-stops after a few seconds since I'm not really moving. Are there any plans to support exercise bikes with cadence sensors in Samsung Health?
