Domyos Treadmill support on Swift. When?

Running
1

Anyone knows when Domyos and Swift can interwork/sync ?

2

The treadmills that do work directly with Zwift ONLY broadcast speed.

You could use any foot pod (Stryd, Zwift RunPod, Garmin…) or NPE RUNN with any treadmill to use Zwift.

Here is something that may help you:

    Speed sources for Zwift Running
TIM GROSE¡SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 2017¡
In order for Zwift to know how fast you are running, you will need a sensor (or ‘smart’ treadmill) of some sort to tell it. Here are some options below. The most popular options are foot pods, the cheapest options are the phone apps, the best options are probably the “direct” options.
NOTE: All of the options below also appear in a list of Platforms and Sensors that can be used to run the Zwift app (platforms) and that can deliver speed, cadence, heart rate or power data to Zwift (sensors). 
Sensor types
Sensors come in two types depending on how they communicate with a receiving device:
•	ANT+ is popular in the Garmin world, and does allow a sensor to be connected to multiple receiving devices at the same time (e.g. you could connect an ANT+ footpod to Zwift on a PC and to your Garmin watch at the same time)
•	BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is popular in the apple and smartphone worlds. BLE sensors can only connect to a single receiving device, but given the popularity of apple/ smartphone devices, it can be easier to directly connect the sensor to your Zwift device
The following table shows the options available for connecting ANT+ or BLE sensors to each of the Zwift platforms. Find your platform and sensor type to identify your connection options:

Connecting Sensors to Zwift
OPTION 1: Direct from treadmill (GEM Modules aka GymConnect OEM Module) ANT+ or BLE
See https://npe-inc.com/gem-bluetooth-ant-module/ (pre installed on treadmill)
Note that the product line was originally developed by Wahoo http://www.wahoogym.com/gym-equipment-gem-module/ and is now with NPE.
Examples:
1.	True Performance 800 (PS800) https://shop.truefitness.com/treadmills (verified - see https://www.facebook.com/groups/zwiftrunners/permalink/1735970790052296/)
2.	True Performance 10o (PS100) https://shop.truefitness.com/treadmills
3.	True Performance 300 (PS300) https://shop.truefitness.com/treadmills
4.	Star Trac http://www.wahoogym.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Wahoo-Fitness-star-trac-case-study.pdf (this seems to be the OpenHub consoles - see under OPTION 3)
OPTION 2: Direct from treadmill (GEM Retro aka GymConnect Retrofit Module) ANT+ or BLE
See https://npe-inc.com/gem-bluetooth-ant-products/ Requires fitting to the CSAFE port. Note that the product was originally developed by Wahoo http://www.wahoogym.com/gym-equipment-retrofit-module-2/ and is now with NPE.
Examples:
1.	Precor 966i (mentioned https://www.facebook.com/groups/zwiftrunners/permalink/1731127747203267/ )
2.	Woodway Desmo
3.	Some versions of the Life Fitness Club Series, Club Series +, Platinum Club Series treadmills have CSAFE ports that work with the GEM although not all do and apparently not the latest Life Fitness Club Series+ with the Integrity X console. https://shop.lifefitness.com/cardio/treadmills Please check with the vendor prior to purchase if considering one of these.
OPTION 3: Direct from treadmill (BLE)
Examples:
1.	MYRUN Technogym https://www.technogym.com/gb/newsroom/technogym-myrun-now-compatible-with-zwift-running-platform and confirmed as working as for 19th Feb 2018 in this forum.
2.	Woodway 4Front https://www.woodway.com/products/4front This seems to allow iOS users to pick up pace direct from the treadmill over BT and also HR from an ANT+ strap that is rebroadcast as BT). See https://www.facebook.com/groups/zwiftrunners/permalink/1853713308278043/ for discussion here.
3.	Life Fitness treadmills with a Track Connect console https://lifefitness.com/home/products/consoles/track-connect-console Confirmed as working in the comments of this doc and with Life Fitness. The T3, T5 and F3 home treadmills are offered with this console. Note the older Track Plus console or the cheaper Go console do not work with Zwift.
4.	Life Fitness treadmills with a Discover console https://lifefitness.com/home/products/consoles/discover-console This appears that it may well work like the lower spec Track Connect console above but has not been verified.
5.	BowFlex BXT116/BXT226, BXT216/BXT326. Confirmed as working with Zwift with Bowflex. Note that the BXT116 and BXT216 are the North America versions and the BXT226 and BXT326 respectively are the International versions of the same treadmills.
6.	Star Trac treadmills with one of the OpenHub consoles https://corehandf.com/openhub (see in the video on that page or at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD9XPw5Grpc). These ones have the “Bluetooth button” that is mentioned by Zwift in https://support.zwift.com/en_us/what-treadmills-and-sensors-does-zwift-support-ByeebAJbBm 
7.	Sole F80 & F85 2019 models (and TBC other 2019 versions of Sole treadmills). 
8.	Treadmills that support Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service - see https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/gatt). Examples of any treadmills that support this to be established.
Note see https://support.zwift.com/en_us/what-treadmills-and-sensors-does-zwift-support-ByeebAJbBm for Zwift’s list of the latest supported treadmills.

OPTION 9: Treadmill Belt Measurement (BLE)
•	TreadTracker http://store.runsocial.com/products/treadtracker Make sure you get the gen 2 version which works with Zwift as the gen 1 does not. It is however very difficult to tell which is which from just looking at them. It is thought the gen 2 version comes with 
a branded cover sleeve for the cardboard box it comes in but the gen 1 just comes in the box with no cover sleeve. Recommend asking the vendor prior to purchase.
OPTION 10: BLE Shoes
•	UnderArmour Record Equipped shoes. Mentioned in https://support.zwift.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000697031-What-Treadmills-and-Sensors-Does-Zwift-Support-?section=360000168612

Sensors that will not work as Speed Sources
There are some devices that Zwift users have expected to be able to use as a speed source that do not transmit speed data (they cannot be used as a speed source).
•	Garmin Running Dynamics Pod https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/561205
This pod clips to the back of your shorts/leggings and measures torso movement. It does not measure (or transmit) running speed.
•	Most running watches. Running watches do not typically broadcast running speed - Zwift cannot use them as a speed source.

iOS to ANT+ conversion (to use ANT+ sensors on iOS devices)
•	Wahoo Key http://uk.wahoofitness.com/devices/wahoo-key-16 (this also would need the Apple Lightning to 30 pin adaptor http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter ). This does however need confirmation that it actually still works properly with Zwift as various users here have reported issues with it since a recent iOS update which seems to have adversely impacted it. As such it is NOT a recommended bridging solution at this time.
•	Note that the Garmin ANT+ Adapter for iPhone definitely does NOT work https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/103887
ANT+ stick (to use ANT+ sensors on Windows & Mac computers)

Thanks @Paul_Allen
I think Domyos treadmill (at leats the one I have /540C) do that. Why I say it ? Because I can put it working with Kinomap app and my Garmin Watch.

Kinomap detects my treadmill.
The issue is that Zwift doesn’t detect my treadmill. So, its why I bought it was a Zwift issue.

Just because it’s Bluetooth and connects to an app does not mean it will connect to Zwift. The Bluetooth used by the treadmill might not be open to Zwift or other 3rd party apps.

I have a ProForm treadmill that will connect to the iFit app, but it will not connect to Zwift because the protocol used is not open to 3rd parties.

Also does it broadcast in BLE or ANT+. If it broadcast in ANT+ what device are you running Zwift on?

Thanks Paul

Indeed there a protocol/agreement between Domyos and Kinomap …
I was using Zwift in an iPad

Continuing the discussion from Domyos Treadmill support on Swift. When?:

kinomap can connect to a lot of brand of treadmills, rowers, bikes… i don’t think there are problems for zwift to do the same.

Hi,

I am seeking for a “cheap” treadmill that works with zwift natively.
Here in Decathlon I have Domyos (T540C like yours and T900C) but i think there is no way to connect to Zwift.
Do you know any treadmill with a nice price to buy. I dont want to buy a traditional and then a footpod.

Thanks

Miguel,

Em vez de usar Zwift, estou a usar a app Kinomap que ĂŠ compatĂ­vel com as passadeiras da Domyos e tem muitos vĂ­deos disponĂ­veis.

Hi… Just so u know. I just bought a nordictrack T10 treadmill. Was wondering if this treadmill supports Zwift. Been trying to connect to zwift via Bluetooth. Seems like it does not detect the treadmill automatically. Any clue? Not sure if this treadmill is considered as smart treadmill. Ple advice. Thanks.

O kinomap ĂŠ pago? Consegues passar para o strava?

Hi Miguel, There are some tracks are of charge in the Domyos package in Kinomap. If you want more tracks and the possibility to export for Strava then you need to subscribe/pay for Kinomap (not expensive). I’m doing that at least in Quarantine times. Later on you can export manually the Garmin Activity to Strava.

Hi Roberto, how are you finding the treadmill?

Someone locally has told me, that their overheats within 45-60mins and shuts down - not what I wanted to hear! :frowning:

Hi Richard, I’ll receive the treadmill tomorrow morning. I will tell you. I hope not of course. I spent 1000€ for this treadmill!
