Today whilst doing a workout on my Elite Suito trainer and Trainer Road , the watts randomly went up and down a little , rather frustrating but only for a few seconds…I recently charged my Favero Assioma pedals also…I have re-calibrated everything and hope all ok for my next workout.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue ?
If it was just a slight fluctuation in power and returned to normal afterward, it could have been some sort of signal interference or device dropout.
Looking at your logs from today, it seems like the issue was with your Suito, but I’m not 100% sure what the cause was. 
I’d make sure that your trainer and pedals aren’t connected to any other devices in the area during your next workout. If you’re using your phone or head unit to calibrate your pedals before your workout, make sure that you disconnect it afterward to ensure that device doesn’t try to jump back in and take over on its own during your workout. 
Let me know how things go during your next workout!
Thanks a lot Eddie…yeah it was very minimal but rather annoying …I will report back after my next workout .
Was this in ERG mode? Are you using power match with the power pedals? If in ERG mode, was the resistance going up/down, the prescribed power, or the measured power?
I’ve found the best way to do what Eddie is recommending is to turn off every single device that can possibly connect. Even if you don’t think you’re using it. Something is fighting for control and you’re briefly swapping back and forth between controllers. Turn them all off, even the trainer, and then only turn on the bare minimum things you need for your next workout. Once you’ve done that, you should have eliminated the problem. Then you can start slowly turning everything else on. Hopefully it stays fixed, but if not, you’ll have found the culprit.
Thank you so much for your help…I will do that on my next workout.
Hi @eddie
Today I done Brutal but before I set up with a 10 min recovery to check all was ok.
At first I could not get my Favero Assioma pedals to connect but my Elite Suito trainer provided the resistance for the watts needed.
With that I started Brutal…at first it was ok but when the first ramp up in watts happened it rose to above 300 but not the perceived effort…I continued to see if it would chaange, as i entered into the first recovery it tracked the watts pretty well, but as soon as the interval watts increased it went way high but the perceved efoort was that of the intended watts also my h/r was around 145.
I am now bothered as Trainer Road will see this an increase in stress that it wasn’t and I am not sure what can be done , if anything…rather confused here.
I am now goung to reach out to both Favero and Elite to see if they can help also.
Cheers
Brian.
Hi @eddie
After my workout I reset everything and I did notice my Favero pedals won’t connect if my suito trainer is connected, I disconnected the trainer then I saw my pedals, I then reconnected the trainer and done a recovery session, again I got repeating drop in watts that you can see.
I have sent a request to Favero , I have then set to Unified channel, but did see they are set to dual pedals…I can set to single and bot sure if this is needed, I can’t recall why I would change this.
It’s odd why all this seems to have started since I charged my pedals, not sure if it’s just a coincedence.
Thanks
Brian.
Hi Brian - I think you meant to tag @eddie
The Suito IME suffers baddly from interference. I like its size/ foldability and I use my Favero Be Pro S power meter instead for stability so I continue to use it but if I was relying on the Suito’s power estimation I would have binned it. I would suggest you ignore the Suito’s estimates and use your power meter instead
Hi,
I have used it for years without this issue…how can i have my Favero pedals over ride the trainers power as I need it connected in erg mode to do the workout
You could try Elite’s Powermatch to have the trainer read directly from the pedals. I tend only to use ERG below Threshold. The drops outs could make it problematic with my Suito and I am unconstrained for VO2max and I can push to my actual max.
I have done all of that…and no difference
I am now waiting on feedback from all 3 equipment providers
Ahh I thought we had to use erg mode
I use TR mostly in Resistance mode, on the PC app its just a simple in-ride toggle, I think in the Android app its a pre ride toggle in the settings.

So I presume you need to change gears as if on the road on this mode.
Nah, rather than ERG controlling the resistance you have control + and - keys (0-99). You can shift too if you want to, but you don’t have to.
I am not sure where this feature is , I am guessing the lower section of the workout…I use a laptop in front of me and would prefer the gearing.
On the lap top its just the ‘T’ key to toggle modes and the < and > keys to change resistance and you can change gears if you want to too. When you toggle it there’s an icon down the bottom that says ‘ERG’ or ‘Resistance’ depending what mode you are in.
