Hi TrainerDay team,
First of all – thank you for this app. It’s been a real game changer for structured training.
I wanted to suggest a feature that I think could help users with certain types of smart bikes or trainers – like mine – that only support specific power increments.
In my case, my indoor bike connects via BLE and only accepts power values starting at 25 W, with increments of 5 W (i.e. 25, 30, 35, 40… etc.). When TrainerDay sends a target like 137 W, the bike just rounds it internally, which can lead to inconsistent resistance and makes workouts feel a bit off. For example, even when the app sends 139 W, the bike still holds at 135 W – only once the app reaches 140 W does the trainer adjust to that level. I know this seems like a small detail, but it adds up over time.
Some types of workouts make this even more difficult – especially those with gradual power ramps that increase by 1 watt every few seconds. Since my bike can only accept steps of 5 W, it doesn’t follow those small changes correctly, and I have to manually adjust the resistance on the bike just to stay close to the intended target. This breaks focus and takes away from the training experience.
Would it be possible to add an option in the settings or when building workouts that automatically rounds all power targets to the nearest supported value, based on a user-defined minimum and step (e.g. 25 W min, 5 W step)? Alternatively, this could happen dynamically during workout execution if TrainerDay detects the trainer’s limitations.
It wouldn’t affect users with full ERG resolution, but for people like me it would greatly improve consistency and experience.
Thanks for considering it!
