However, this week my wife suggested we get a Peloton.

I’ll try that tonight, but thought you might have some guidance on this.I've been an Apple TV Zwift+KICKR user for a while. Might the fact that I had the Garmin on and paired be creating the problem? Right now the Quarq is paired to Garmin via ANT+… not sure if there is an option for me to pair via Bluetooth. I definitely don’t see that, but I’m not sure if the user interface is the same in the new Wahoo app (and just doesn’t show the power meter anymore)? So… is there an affirmative way for me to validate that it’s “working”? You mention that the KICKR icon in the Wahoo app would show a power meter next to it. I know this because it was using KICKR power smoothing, RPE was off, but more importantly I had my meter paired to my Garmin and I did a file comparison after the fact… off by 10 watts. That said, I follow this process this morning and while everything appears correct and my Zwift Workout did use ERG, it did not use the power meter. Specifically, with Zwift and the limit of 2 BT connections. I know this article is a bit old, but I found it super helpful for what I’ve been trying to do.
When the external control mode is configured but a power meter is not connected, the trainer will revert to its internal power meter for data broadcast. The Fitness app should never be used at the same time as Zwift as the two apps will compete for control of the trainer and this will result in undesirable performance from the trainer. Zwift natively supports the connection of an external power meter in addition to the KICKR and we would recommend using this functionality rather than the external control mode set up through our app, additionally this functionality would be available for BT and ANT+ power meters. In most cases, once this mode has been correctly set up in the app, the trainer will continue to use the power meter for data once the connection to the Fitness app is closed and it is connected with another app, however this configuration has not been fully tested and is unsupported. The ‘Control with ANT+ Power Meter’ mode is primarily designed for use with the Wahoo Fitness app rather than a 3rd party app such as Zwift. When I ride Zwift I use my BT pedals and was curious about the interaction after I setup my wife’s pedals to control the Kickr.
I’m running Zwift on a Apple TV and have ANT+ power pedals on my wife’s bike and BT power pedals on mine. Tariq responded right away while Wahoo took almost 2 weeks. I sent Wahoo an email asking about the setup before asking Tariq the same question. When you login to Zwift, select the Kickr as the power source. Use the Wahoo Fitness app to setup the external power to control the Kickr as shown on the first image.
#Wahoo kickr apple tv Bluetooth
Apple TV can only pair to two Bluetooth devices and when this is enabled, you can just pair the KICKR as the power source and controllable trainer, freeing up another Bluetooth port for your heart rate monitor or cadence sensor.Īlso, when enabled, you don’t have to perform spin downs to calibrate your Wahoo KICKR/SNAP.
Other areas I found it to be useful is when using Apple TV to run Zwift.
Also, this comes in handy in cases where you only use Bluetooth to connect and your power meter only supports ANT+. You only need to pair the KICKR rather than pairing two separate devices. In many cases, this simplifies the pairing process. When enabled, the Wahoo KICKR/SNAP pairs to your ANT+ power meter and allows it to control the KICKR resistance. This allows riders to record and display power from their power meter while taking advantage of the resistance control in their smart trainers.
