hi all,
Lately (as of last week, more or less) it seems that the TD app cannot control my Wahoo Kickr Snap trainer.
Power is not held to the power prescribed in the workout. Also, the power readings seem to be completely off.
My Garmin Edge 530 controls the trainer just fine.
What could be the problem? (assuming it’s on my side, since I don’t see others complaining of similar issues)
If you are connecting Garmin edge at the same time it will take over. Turn the Garmin off and see if that helps. If not try restarting your phone.
There is a way to fix this garmin issue by connecting to your edge as a power source not as a trainer.
I usually control the trainer with the app. it’s not even setup on my Edge (I obviously connected it to do a couple of workouts, but it wasn’t connected before).
just to make sure, I again removed the connection to the trainer from the Edge, and when controlled by the app on my phone the trainer still behaved the same (power was not kept constant, but I do see power readings. don’t know how accurate they are).
am I maybe missing a step somewhere along the way? any suggestions?
Bronek, your user name sounds Polish (if it is I live in Lodz but my Polish is niedobre…, or maybe not… just thought I would say hi if it was.)
Your trainer really should work. You do have to make sure your gearing is right (more in a middle gear usually) on your bike and obviously you have the wheel tightened down correctly. You also should do the wahoo spin down process using their app.
If you have done all that and you want to send me a video to support@trainerday.com or screen shots here or to my email of your connections popup and what it looks like on the workout screen maybe it will point out the problem.
yes, my name is Polish, but I’m actually not. long story.
I’ll try a few more things I can think of, and if it still doesn’t work I’m email videos and screenshots.
thank you very much!
That’s interesting, my last name is semi rare, and I talked to a guy with the same last name and he said the same thing. That he inherited his last name but it was not his origin so no relation to me…
