Link with Tymewear HRM and Ventilationf

As the Tymewear is just coming out with a method to record and use ventilation for Zones it would be good to be able to link to Ziwft not only with the HRM but also the Ventilation Device so all the data is one place. Visma is using this device and I think you will see others doing the same so simply requesting it be updated to be able to be used when on Zwift.

HI @Tony_Konvalin_SFuels welcome back to the Zwift forums.

Shuji at Zwift HQ here. Thanks for the feedback!

We’re always looking at ways to grow our partner integrations, and this suggestion does seem like it could fit well with our broader work around training and fitness. While we don’t have any updates to share right now, input like this helps us keep an eye on areas that could add value to Zwifters.

Il serait aussi bon de directement pouvoir synchroniser les entrainements effectués sur zwift vers la plateforme tymewear. Actuellement, nous sommes obligés d’enregistrer le dossier .fit pour ensuite l’intégrer dan notre base de donnée tymewear. Je pense que cette plateforme et ces entrainements sont le futur et que zwift à tout interet a aider ces zwifteurs dans ces synchronisations

Fully agree and would love to see this happen as I’ve also recently purchased Tymewear. The ventilation data are a great compliment to HR . Please can you make this happen @zwift thanks!

Not sure if it is out yet but there was an update, I got it on a Beta so not sure if out yet, so that you can use the Tymewear strap with HR and Ventilation while also paired with Zwift. I did find that it seems I need to make sure Tymewear app is open but have been able to run the Tymewear App, with power, and zwift. Not ideal as data is in two places and Tymewear doe snto show distance but at least I can see the zones in the tymewear app. For sure would be good to see it all in Zwift app.

Would be great if Respiration (breathing frequency) could be added already to the Hub
(also a measuring already available with certain Garmin and Polar HR straps. So quite a big bang for many athletes. Not just Tymewear).
Especially for individuals where breathing is a limiter (e.g COPD patients), this datafield in the hub could be very helpfull. A low hanging fruit so to say

VE-zones like with Tymewear would even be better, but could be a 2nd step. And especially for runners VE-zones are so much more usefull than HR.
all in all, a direct Tymewear connection and/or Hub datafields would be of considerable value (at least for me)

Hey, would love to see this is as well. Not only showing the data visually but also being able to push the VE BR data to garmin/intervals.icu then would help a lot

Hey, would love to see Tymewear being supported like Core body temp sensor is. Any update on this?

If I wanted any chance of advance information I would ask Tymewear. If they don’t know then my guess is there is nothing to know right now.

Anyone using this device, can you give a bit of an overview of how it works - even if Zwift doesn’t show the data from it, can you track the results elsewhere?

I have used it and found it interesting. It deffintily relies on how you breath so if you are laregly a mouth breather even when riding easy it does seem to read higher than I felt. I think it has a place and have Dr. Seiler talk about it. There was an update that required a new test and I did not do it so then was off. Was going to when I got some heart issues and strted using the Frontier X Plus that also gives and ECG that can spot AFIB and Arythmias. For now will no tuse the Tymewear but think it will get there.

Thanks, seems like there isn’t much point to it then for me.

Yea, interestingly my Frontier X Plus will give breathing so can use that. It is a way more expensive HRM but with some heart issues and that it does the ECG worth it for me - The X2 also does ECG but not for AFIB if I read it right but also the Plus is used by some Doctors as seen as a medical device so for most teh X2 is the one but again not cheal but they do have sales - https://fourthfrontier.com/

This would be a great addition. I find the tymewear very useful. Having it intergrated in Zwift would be be a great training enhancement.

Hi @shooj

I have been using Zwift for some time but I decided to put it on hold. One reason being I subscribed to Tymewear for their threshold analytics and training program platform. I saw that Tymewear is on the waiting list for integration into Zwift. Could you please share if you are indeed working on the implementation and when is the approximate time for this to be completed? It would be super great to be able to follow that program in the environment that I enjoy to ride virtually as well as recording additional ventilation, breathing rate and tidal volume measures along the Zwift rides.

Thank you for sharing the update
