I’m running Zwift through an iPad with Wahoo sensors cadence speed and heart rate then a Tacx blue Matic dumb trainer.
My issue is the cadence is not going above 68 no matter what I try but with the Wahoo Bolt beside the IPad it’s say 98 & 130 what ever I push it to. Any ideas?
Are you connecting the Wahoo sensors to the Bolt using ANT+?

I’ve had similar problems a few times before (w/ a Garmin ANT+ cadence sensor connected to Win10 laptop). It’s random, and relatively rare - but same basic thing. No matter how fast I spin, cadence in Zwift is stuck in the 60s.
I just stop, go back to the pairing screen, ‘unpair’ the sensor then pair it again. That’s never failed to ‘fix’ the issue, fwiw.

Hi Joe thanks for your speedy reply I think I’ve sorted it! well diagnosed it. Basically it’s to much going on for the IPad to process.
I have previously been using a laptop but that has become to old to work Zwift even when it has been stripped.
Looks like Apple TV is the way to go.
Thanks again.

I had the same problem recently (July 2021) with Garmin Speed/Cadence Sensor 2. I discovered that if I connect my Garmin watch to the sensors first (ANT+), then reconnect on Zwift, everything works fine.
this happens to me when the sensor is being used, then say i get off to refill a bottle or stretch, and if that break is too long, the sensor must fall asleep and it pegs out at 60 or something. so, basically, i have to unpair, let the sensor rest long enough to shut off, then reconnect.
frustrating, but if you ignore it and just ride with it pegged out, but the power is accurate, does it impact any stats? is it just the speed and distance impacted? as long as power and HR is ok, i can live with slightly inaccurace distance readings
No, cadence doesn’t control anything in Zwift, it is just for show
