I have 7.4AT that I received a couple of weeks ago, and no issue at all connecting to Zwift on a PC, iPad or iPhone. Has been quite dependable on all these devices.
I have the 7.8 AT and it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnāt with Zwift running on a PC. It connects very quickly once the Zwift is on the pairing screen. The problem I have is that the treadmill will start and then go to pause after a couple of seconds. I change the speed and it happens again.
How do you connect it to Zwift. Is there an order of how you turn on the different machines. For example Zwift, wait for the pairing screen and then turn on the treadmill?
There shouldnāt be in reality. It seems to be an issue with this particular model. Trial and error I suspect.
Iāve not experienced any issues with connecting to Zwift, and I understand that generally, the 7.0AT, 7.4AT and 7.8AT all run on very minor variations of the same software. I generally start Zwift first, and then pair, but I do not believe the order is critical. You might check on Horizonās website and ensure that you have the very latest software update. Given that my connection has not been problematic, and that Horizon only very recently began supporting direct bluetooth connectivity, a software update could do the trick. Check Horizonās website for those (this site prohibited me from including the link). That said, I see that the 7.8 is not individually listed in Horizonās updates list, so it might make sense to reach out to Horizon and inquire as to whether there is an available software update.
Iām waiting for my 7.0 AT Treadmill to arrive. Assuming that you have had success running with Zwift with a Horizon AT Treadmill, do you still need a food pod for cadence?
Finally got my 7.0 AT assembled Thursday, it was purchased directly from Horizon. I have had no problems connecting my iPad directly to the treadmillā¦ no need for foot pod or the like.
Thanks for letting me know! I was going to order a footpod and theyāre sold out. You just saved me some money. I also ordered my 7.0 AT directly from horizon (Canada) a week ago. I donāt know how long the wait is for arrival, but I canāt wait! See you out there! Iāll be in the orange t-shirt!
Hello, I have the newer 7.8 AT (late 2020), and it connects and works flawlessly with Zwift. No fuss, easy setup and the speed seems super accurate (all things considered). As this treadmill is compatible with Kinomap and there is INCLINE control on that plateform, I truly hopes ZWIFT RUNNING will provide this, so we can have a more realistic experience. In the mean time, I will try connecting through RUNCLINE to see if Zwift will control the incline automatically.
I am having the same issue with my new 7.8AT which has now been updated to v1.003 firmware. My issue is with the AppleTV - also at latest version. Very inconsistent behaviour with regard to BT from the ATV - if I use the companion App - which I have too since I have the foot pod and HRM, the treadmill does not report any data to the Zwift app on the ATV - use only two of the devices - say, treadmill and HRM, then there is no issue.
Thoughts?
Any luck with the incline control?
I just received the Horizon 7.4 AT and it connected with Zwift easily, including transmission of the treadmill speed to Zwift. I also emailed Zwift to ask them to update the Supported (Smart) Treadmills list to include the Horizon 7.x series.
Yes Anthony_M1 is a genius ā¦ followed his instructions and got my Horizon 7.0 AT 2.0 working but software update said I needed to update to 7.0 AT 3.0 V8.001 so took the risk did it and it works thanks Anthony
Just thought Iād tack on to this thread. My Proform ZLT 705 has run itās last run unfortunately so looking at a Horizon 7.4AT and can see a few people in this thread who own one.
Iāve found one for Ā£1,599.
Two quick questions -
- Is that a decent price?
- How are those with a 7.4AT finding it? Is it a good treadmill? Are you happy with it? I was looking at a Sole F65 / 85 too but I quite like the HIIT wheel on the Horizon?
A really big thank you if anyone can let me know one way or the other as itās a lot of money to shell out so want to make sure I make the right choice. Thanks 
Seems about the right price for that treadmill. As the pricepoint dig around for 10% off offers which is a decent chunk.
3.5hp motor which is strong for a home treadmill and should give you a smooth performance.
Incline up to 15% which again is good for home use although most people wonāt get anywhere near this.
There are cheaper options, there are better spec options but take into account warranty and now good the customer service is as this can be crucial in the long term.
Thanks Stuart. I actually pushed the button on this yesterday so really looking forward to receiving it and having a go. The main draw with the 7.4 for me was the easy HIIT training (a thumbwheel for speed) as my missus likes to do a walk / run type exercise and I enjoy some interval training too. I hate having to faff too much with buttons mid run.
Thanks for your post
