Once thatвЂ™s set, go ahead and pick your world/route in Zwift that you want to ride, and tap вЂRideвЂ™ when ready.

#Trainerroad blog Bluetooth#

Though for this particular item, we need it to support broadcasting over Bluetooth Smart (whereas older Garmin watches only support broadcasting over ANT+). Most newer watches support this, usually in whatвЂ™s called вЂњBroadcast ModeвЂќ. But hereвЂ™s where you could pair your watch, if you donвЂ™t have a dual-strap. The same is true for the heart rate strap, but in this case I was using the Polar H10 вЂ“ so itвЂ™s dual-channel. But ensure that your power source is your trainer. Now because we used ANT+ on the TrainerRoad one, it doesnвЂ™t matter if we use Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ here on Zwift if you have both. Repeat after me: The controllable trainers section of Zwift needs to be empty, if itвЂ™s not, you will fail. If you pair that, the two apps will fight and ruin your workout. Here, youвЂ™ll pair up your trainer or power meter in the вЂњpower meterвЂќ section.Д«ut NOT the вЂњControllableвЂќ section, which should be empty/unpaired (like below).

NowвЂ™s a good time to go ahead and pick out your workout (be it from the calendar, TrainNow, etcвЂ¦), and having that all ready, so that ultimately, youвЂ™re at this page, ready to start: And, most importantly, it has the ANT+ logo and not the Bluetooth Logo.ДЄlso, ensure that your heart rate strap/sensor is paired via ANT+ as well, unless you have a dual-capable strap (see next section on that). The controllable icon is the one that has the little trainer, versus just a lighting bolt is a power meter source. The key here is that youвЂ™re using ANT+ (again, if youвЂ™re using a KICKR18/20/CORE/BIKE, you can instead just use Bluetooth).

Now, go ahead and crack open TrainerRoad first, and then ensure your smart trainer is paired as an ANT+ controllable trainer. Basically, before we get all fancy вЂ“ make sure it just works normally.ДЄ) TrainerRoad installed on the first device with ANT+, and able to use like normalД«) Zwift installed on the other device, and able to use like normal To get started, ensure that youвЂ™ve got Zwift and TrainerRoad installed, and you can use either device solo-style if you wanted to. To keep things simple, weвЂ™re going to use TrainerRoad on the computer with the ANT+ USB stick, and then the other device for Zwift (technically it doesnвЂ™t matter which way you do it, but IвЂ™m gonna keep things simpler and do it this way). (If you have a KICKR 18/20/CORE/BIKE, you can ignore the Bluetooth limitations, as they donвЂ™t apply to you, just ignore the words ANT+ and choose Bluetooth instead) And the other can be whatever you want it to be (tablet/iPad/Apple TV/phone/computer).

So my assumption is that one of them is a PC or Mac, with an ANT+ USB stick. In this scenario, youвЂ™re going to run Zwift and TrainerRoad on two different devices, and one of them supports ANT+.

Note: This method also works for one laptop/desktop as well, assuming you resize the windows appropriately. For that you can just follow either Option A or Option B, but then just resize the windows to your liking. Option C: One iPad, using only Bluetooth SmartДЄdditionally, you can also do this on a single laptop/computer with either an ANT+ stick, or if using a KICKR18/20/CORE/BIKE, then all via Bluetooth Smart. Option B: Two separate devices, using only Bluetooth Smart Option A: Two separate devices, with at least one having an ANT+ USB stick iPad, computer, Apple TV, phone, etcвЂ¦), though there are a number of variants of this for more geeky folks вЂ“ but these are likely to be the most popular: In this guide, IвЂ™m going to cover the three core scenarios, depending on what kind of вЂdeviceвЂ™ you have (e.g. At one end of the spectrum, you can use entirely different computers/tablets/phones, and at the other end, you can run both apps on a single iPad or computer concurrently. There are many ways to do this, depending on what gear you have lying around, and what you use to normally run Zwift/TrainerRoad. Or also, continuing to get вЂcreditвЂ™ for the workouts in Zwift to move up levels. The main reason most people want to do this is to get the better-structured workouts from TrainerRoad, while still having the social elements on Zwift. However, as was made abundantly clear to me a few days ago when I posted a picture on my Instagram stories of me doing a trainer ride with Zwift and TrainerRoad concurrently вЂ“ a lot of folks donвЂ™t realize you can. For many of you more tech-focused folks, this quick how-to guide will be old hat to you.
