Hi, I have a Kinetic Road Machine 1 that I’ve successfully connected to other apps like Zwift, TrainerRoad, etc. When I try to look for the device from TrainerDay, it is not visible. Should this trainer be compatible? I believe it uses BLE. Thanks.
It appears your trainer is not being recognized as a smart trainer. You might need to update the firmware. You can see here it says it supports FTMS which our platform supports so it should work.
If you have an older trainer sometimes they don’t support the latest firmware. I believe someone told me their road machine is working with our app. For sure newer ones with FTMS will.
It should show a green bike like this.
@Alex - Thanks for the quick reply. I found out I have an older Kinetic trainer with the first gen InRide bluethooth device which doesn’t support FTMS. I ended up upgrading to newest gen device with ANT+ and Bluetooth FTMS support and all is good now.

Great news. 
I’m have the same problem. Sensor works fine (detected with other apps) but not detected by TrainerDay app. Any ideas??
Hi Matt, Do you know which version of inride this is? The older versions don’t support FTMS so won’t work with our app. Other older apps specifically built code to support that trainer as it used to be popular but modern devices use FTMS now. What apps specifically does it work with? Does it work with TrainingPeaks Virtual for example (that is free now)? Or you could try biketerra and see if it works.
Hi there. Thanks for getting back quickly. I’m not entirely sure what it is! I’ve been searching old emails but struggling. But thanks ideas on other apps I’ll try. It is detected on the kinetic fit app although I can’t even make an account on it - trying for ages. Thanks again and if I get more info wil ll let you know. Cheers, Matt

First time I’m seeing Biketerra mentioned here. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and really like it. Not because I want/need some virtual world to ride in or any social interaction. That’s not what I’m after. I simply load whatever route and my workout, then ride while watching TV or any other media that I have.
Things I like:
- fully browser integrated thus can be used anywhere/anytime with whatever device. That’s a BIG +.
- Integrates with Intervals WOD similar to TD
- Dual power recording and pretty good PowerMatch function
Things that I would like to see improved:
- Device pairing has to be done before every ride because they haven’t got around saving device history yet. But the pairing itself works like a charm.
- They only support Power targets for workouts. A HR mode like TD would be nice. Maybe also Cadence targets, but I can easily do that on my Garmin recording in parallel.
Also exploring Dundring, equally browser native.
Hi Alex - in fact I need a setup which works offline (underground garage in France). See photo of my sensor - does this help?? Thanks, Matt
Yes I am friends with Matt the founder there. I like the idea of what they were doing. They also integrate with TD calendar. Yes their iPhone app solves the re-pairing issue I believe but they need an android one. I build some web based stuff like this and it had the same re-pairing problem so that is just a chrome/web problem in general.
He and I were discussing power match so I gave him some ideas 
My research says that does not support FTMS so will not work with our app. An Android device with built in Ant+ can work, or buying a dongle like the Garmin Ant+ dongle but getting that working can be a bit tricky.
