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 …

[image] bmullin: But, I do have the three Ant+ options, but I do not see anything on the devices screen of TR when using any of them. So I just checked, and I was able to connect to TR as “Concept2 ANT+ Trainer” but only speed was transmitted - no cadence or power.

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.

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

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.

Hi Trainer Road Folks, I work on software for Concept2 and currently the BikeErg supports Bluetooth Cycling Power, Speed and Candence, and FTMS services which are standard services. The Bike works with most of the other apps that I know of (Zwift, Sufferfest, Rouvy, etc…). Would it be possible to…

I too am looking to make the Concept2 BikeErg → TR connection, I would actually prefer a direct connection rather than wireless. Does the USB2 to Lightning converter solve this? Store — LIVEROWING

PainSled has to be on a separate device from TR. Another bridge device that works well for the rower and SkiErg is the CABLE device (which isn’t a cable) CABLEINFO - CABLE - Connect ANT+ to BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)

I was able to use my bike Erg with power via bluetooth to trainer road until last month. I took a month off and just tried today and it no longer works. Trainer Road can you please take a look?
