"Free ride" sections of workouts don't disengage ERG mode on Wattbike Atom

Just done some more investigation. I created a test workout that had 1min erg then 1 min free ride, 1 min erg, 1 min free ride and so on.

I then tried this using

  1. iPad Pro, Samsung S10+ (companion app) and Wattbike - worked fine goes in and out of erg mode
  2. iPad Pro, iPhone 8 (companion app) and Wattbike - worked fine goes in and out of erg mode
  3. AppleTV, Samsung S10+ (companion app) and Wattbike - doesn’t work, stays in erg mode
  4. AppleTV, iPhone 8 (companion app) and Wattbike - doesn’t work, stays in erg mode

No matter how many buttons you press on the companion app, the wattbike or the AppleTV it wont come out of erg mode and let you use the gears

If it helps I;ve also tried it with the beta versions of both the AppleTV iOS and Wattbike firmware

So my theory of it being the AppleTV Zwift App holds true I believe.

Zwift could you please fix it now the users have done some simple testing for you

Thanks
