Having the same issue with latest Zwift version. (stryd and kickr 18.
I am having the exact same issue! I do not own a treadmill but I do have a Stryd foot pod and it has never been in the vicinity of my Kickr. My sneakers are 3 floors above my bike trainer and the Bluetooth is only recognizing Stryd as its primary power meter. I am completely unable to use Zwift because of this and Iām beyond frustrated. My season training began today and it was a complete bust. PLEASE help me unpair Stryd from Zwift!!!
read my post above in this thread ā¦ it has the workaround / āfixā to this
Zwift:
Can you please just stop listing up the Stryd under power-source when youāre on the āRideā menu ā¦
Stryd should simply never be avilable when youāre riding the bike ā¦ simple as that.
You should be able to detect the stryd by itās uqniqu bluetooth id, and just not list it up for the āRideā part of Zwift. Please confirm this Zwift and fix the issue once and for all, you see A LOT of people complaining about this issue, which should be so easy to fix if you just put a little effort into it
Iāve been using Zwift on AppleTV for cycling for more than a year. Today, this issue cropped up. Now Zwift only wants to pair with my Stryd ā not my NPE CABLE or PowerTap pedals. I want for Zwift to forget the Stryd but it wonāt. I tried rebooting the AppleTV but no go. I messed with this for over 30 minutes today and never got Zwift to pair with the correct device.
I see that Eirikur suggests moving my running shoes outside. Itās not as if the shoes were right next to me either!
This is very frustrating.
I posted a āfixā to this issue, scroll through this thread and find it. That will solve your problem, and you donāt have to move the Stryd out of the room
So change to Zwift Run - select power source (Stryd), change back to Zwift Ride and select your power source there?
Yes, by going into run and selecting a power source, youāre basically disconnecting the Stryd
Iāve already asked Zwift to stop Stryd from being available on the Ride menu, where it makes no sense at all. Until they fix that, this is your workaround for the problem
Having the same issue. Tried Eirikurās fix and that isnāt working. Still instantly brings Stryd up before we can do anything.
Same issue. Tried all the work around. But sometimes none of them work and appletv reconnects to Stryd automatically.
Set up bike is Bluetooth connect to cable for power from vector2 pedals and 2nd connection to kickr. I can normally disconnect stryd by going to run and disconnecting then back to ride and connect cable. But stryd will still reconnect kicking my kickr off Zwift reads power from cable but then doesnāt control kickr
Help
Same problem. When I disconnect the Stryd in Run mode and try to select a power source in Ride afterwards, my Apple TV 4K says it lost all bluetooth connection and ask me to use the bluetooth from my phone instead. If my Stryd is in the house, itās a real pain getting Zwift to connect to another power source.
Thanks buddy, ride on!
I have the same conflict between Stryd and my Garmin Vector 3S
@Mike_McCarthy1 Could you guys please stop acknowledging Stryd as a Power source for Riding @Zwift ā¦ it doesnāt make any sense, since itās for running-only. This thread is from October 2018 and this issue have never been fixed. Should be very easy to fix!
That would simple get rid of this problem once and for all. There are numerous people complaining about this same problem again and again, is somebody from @Zwift @Jon actually reading this thread??
As I asked previously, in this thread without any answer from Zwift, @Wes
Can you please just stop listing up the Stryd under power-source when youāre on the āRideā menu ā¦
Stryd should simply never be avilable when youāre riding the bike ā¦ simple as that.
You should be able to detect the stryd by itās unique bluetooth id, and just not list it up for the āRideā part of Zwift. Please confirm this Zwift and fix the issue once and for all, you see A LOT of people complaining about this issue, which should be so easy to fix if you just put a little effort into it @Josie.L
There are a few other threads in the Zwift Forums regarding this exact issue.
It is not just for Stryd or Milestone foot pods, but also the NPE Runn device as well.
When I used the Milestone foot pod, I would take the battery out of the pod if I wanted to ride. If I wanted to run, I simply unplugged the KICKR.
Since you cannot power off the Runn, my solution was to purchase a Faraday box on eBay to put the Runn inside of, and then I can pair the KICKR without issue.
As I alway use my PC for Zwift I had not heard of this issue until recently. So I tried my best to recreate it. I can get the flicking screen bug, but thatās a simple fix. I cannot seem to recreate the ālocked in Stryd Power Meterā bug. If I try to connect more than two Bluetooth devices I get the option to use the Zwift Comapnion App instead and I select āYESā. Then I can pair as many devices as I want. To cure the flicker bug I simply swipe the Zwift app off in Apple TV and restart. Obviously guys make sure you have the latest version of Zwift on Apple TV and the very latest tvOS. Make sure you have ZCA open and connected to your network. See if thereās anything in this video which helps. How to Run on Zwift | Pairing in Apple TV - YouTube
Iāve tried the force quit of the Zwift app on AppleTV also, and it still would want to connect to the Milestone pod or NPE Runn. It wouldnāt connect as power, obviously, but it was tying up something and would not let me āforgetā it.
Thatās why I bought a Faraday box to put the Runn in whenever I would change from running to biking on Zwift.
Do you use the Zwift Companion app? Do you ever get the message to use itā¦as in my video?
I do use the CA. The option to pair through the CA would not show up. I was experiencing was the neverending āflickeringā as you call it, even after force-quitting Zwift.
My solution of the Faraday box works for me. Thatās good enough.
