Got it! Thanks for clarifying, it definitely makes more sense as to what you’re asking for.
Ultimately, since the offset is changing so frequently between power meters and trainer power, we think it’d be best to use PowerMatch even if the discrepancy between devices is small. The extra few moments it takes for PowerMatch to adjust resistance (in comparison to just the trainer alone) is just a few seconds of time where you’re not perfectly at target power while the trainer is adjusting, which won’t equate to any significant loss in training benefit.
That being said, while getting those extra few seconds perfectly at target power isn’t going to be the game-changer in making you a faster cyclist, we definitely hear you that this is an area where power data is not optimized and could be improved upon!
I’ve passed this along to our development team for consideration!
