Horizon Paragon X - Compatible with Zwift?

I own this treadmill, and have got it to work with Zwift. Also if you use the incline on the treadmill, it is passed to zwift, and this Elevation data is also shared to strava.

The treadmill isn’t controlled by zwift, so you need to manually change everything on it (eg speed & incline)

Now I have noticed a couple of weird issues.

If I turn the treadmill on, and zwift opens up having been previously paired to my bike. If I change it to run, zwift will connect to my treadmill (The treadmill Bluetooth connection lights up and beeps once) Then my treadmill will count down 3,2,1 and start moving at 0.8km. Do this for a couple seconds, and pause. Somehow its connected, but its not connected and zwift will not do anything.

To fix this, I have to close zwift. Then make sure my treadmill is no longer connected via Bluetooth, Then open up zwift again (this time its defaulted to Run) And now when I select the treadmill it is fine.

From here I am able to hit “Go” on the treadmill, and the speed is transmitted directly to zwift.

This is a small pain in the butt, but now I know what is going on, I just have to do this little song and dance every time I change from the bike to run.

This treadmill is great, I’ve done a bunch of “hills” at 15%, and for a full 1km that’s 150m of elevation.
Also the fact you can change the “bounce” in the treadmill is great too. I find myself running on “2”

There isn’t much more info you can find on this model, and most videos are not in English.
