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 especially tough because we do not have a Concept 2 ERG rowing machine to test with in the office.
For just one device, it’s not a huge issue, but compound the development energy required when you consider all of the trainers with proprietary protocols, and you start to see the problem this creates. It makes much more sense for us as a company to adhere to the industry-standard protocol, and allow hardware manufacturers to do the same.
I know this isn’t the answer you were looking for, and I’m sorry I don’t have better news for you. I hope that explaining the reasoning behind our decision helps to show where we’re coming from.
