Hey there. Now that the market has had these a while, can someone please advise how they find integration with Zwift Hub and TR?
Specifically, I’d like to buy one and run it in ERG mode with TR workouts and managed by the power on my SRAM power meter crank. Is this set up working ok for everyone?
I have not had problems. The power meter in the pedals connects to my laptop via the ANT dongle plugin. I run the desktop app on my Windows laptop. Power comes from the pedals into the app on the laptop.
Even that description above makes it seem more complicated than I’ve ever found it to be in practice. It’s always just happened for me basically automatically.
No, I have Wahoo POWRLINK Zero power meter pedals. I use them as the power meter in my TrainerRoad workouts. I could read power from my Zwift Hub trainer, and I have at least once, but generally I prefer to use the same power meter for my inside and outside rides, and thus the pedals rather than the trainer.
I may have not fully understood NJHIKER43’s question.
OK, I just questioned it as the person above was specifically asking about connection of power data from the Hub to the TR app. Your use case with a separate power meter & PowerMatch included is different, and may not address their concerns.
But the other reply above sounds like a direct Hub to TR connection and shows good function, so both bases are now covered
With the Zwift Hub on, I opened up the phone app, then went into ‘devices’. The trainer was there, as was my Assiomas (and my HRM, but that’s beside the q). I selected power match, then started the workout. Simple as you like.
I was able to connect, but how about concurrent to Zwift now? From what I read, you have to sign into Wift and connect via BT, but for TR you then have to use Ant+. Does that work? Of note, my trainer is a Zwift Hub with the Virtual Click shifting. I took my cassette off.
Just chiming in to say that I use TR on my phone via BT, and Zwift on my laptop via ANT+ dongle. You just have to select your trainer as the power source in Zwift, but deselect the resistance option so that TR controls the resistance.
Hey, I haven’t ever used trainerroad or zwift, and don’t have any hardware yet. I plan to use trainer road only, not combined with zwift. (However it would be nice to have that option in the future). I’m trying to figure out what smart trainer+bike combo would allow me to use virtual shifting in trainer road only. I have an old road bike that I could use, but the drivetrain needs replacing. Don’t want to use my gravel bike. Any suggestions?
