There is a concept2 BikeErg at my gym with a PM5 monitor. With the TR app on my iOS device I am able to connect to the PM5 unit, it shows up in the devices section of the TR app with very good signal, however when I go to start the workout it says there is no Power Data. The Concept2 BikeErgs are …

I didn’t try but it seems the PM5 can also broadcast ANT+ - this should work or is this also a proprietary protocol? https://support.thesufferfest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000302376-Connecting-The-Concept-2-BikeERG Edit: Just saw BT was asked for specifically, because the Iphone does not have Ant… …

FYI: My Skierg does provide the 3 different ANT+ options (just checked) but did not try to connect. Are you running the latest firmware?

Fair point that I haven’t checked if I have the latest firmware. Will do this evening. I probably do, but I’m not 100% sure. I purchased it in February of '19 and did do at least one update not terribly long after I bought it so it would have been in the March timeframe that the latest firmware w…

Hmm. Maybe I don’t have the latest firmware. I can also fire up SimulAnt to see what messages ARE coming out of the SkiErg.

It is well documented, but it is not standardized. What that means is that we could support it, but it would require development resources on our end to make it happen. And not just initially, but continually as updates are pushed we will need to continuously make sure that things work, which is e…

I confirmed I am on the latest firmware (version 866). I also was incorrect when I previously stated I do not see anything on TR. Like you, I do see “Concept2 ANT+ Trainer” and also only get speed when connected. Popping open SimulANT+, I see that it is broadcasting itself as a NordicSkier type f…

Thanks - great info nevertheless :slight_smile:

Do you also get the option ANT+Power? On the BikeErg it’s the one that always worked for me, and it sends both watts and cadence.

I’m really disappointed because BT protocol for PM5 is well documented on Concept2 website https://www.concept2.co.uk/files/pdf/us/monitors/PM5_BluetoothSmartInterfaceDefinition.pdf
