While in a workout, my power drops to zero, while I’m pedaling. My cadence is still being recognized, as well as my H/R, but I have no power. Thus I fail that section of the workout.
Its totally Random!
I use both my laptop and my iPhone.
Laptop is reading Cadence and H/R through an ANT+ dongle. Not Mac
IPhone is reading my Kinetic Road Machine Smart Control via Bluetooth.
Am I not supposed to use both at the same time?
So I just tried to get set-up another workout, and realized the iPhone app is not reading the trainer for some reason. The Kinetic Fit app reads it fine. But not the Zwift IPhone app.
My smart trainer is connected to my IPhone via Bluetooth.
The Dongle only connects my Garmin H/R strap and my Garmin Speed/Cadence Sensor.
The problem lies with the app.
My iPhone recognizes the trainer, the app does not during workouts. I just did a workout w/the ERG off. Same thing happened. Power dropped off. Checked the IPhone to see if it dropped the trainer, NOPE. Checked the Bluetooth signal strength, via the Kinetic app, was GOOD.
For some reason the IPhone app is dropping my trainer.
Before I workout, I calibrate the trainer with the Kinetic app. Then I disconnect the Kinetic app from the trainer and close the Kinetic app.
Then I open the Zwift app and open Zwift on my Laptop.
I also thought that maybe my laptop was fighting with my phone for the trainer. However, when I check to make sure the laptop Bluetooth is off, it is off.
