Hey there!
I am new to indoor cycling and Zwift. I have a Merach S26 bike, which I love. It does connect to Zwift, but it is not automatically adjusting resistance, even though it is connected in the Zwift app.
I have been reading about the QZ app, and was wondering if anyone has had success in connecting their Merach bike to it. Merach is not mentioned in the compatibility list, and I don’t want to buy the app if it won’t work.
Thank you in advance!
I recommend going directly to QZ for that advice. You can either post on their Facebook page or create a GitHub issue.
Merach S26 is a spin bike. That knob adjusts the resistance. No way for Zwift to do it.
Years ago someone prototyped an auto adjuster for the knob bikes…do not know if it is still around. Check DCRAINMAKER.com and search his history.
UPDATE: If you have the Pro with the magnetic resistance and not the felt pad, you might be able to find someone to hack it and put auto resistance on it. My neighbor use to work for Peloton, and he is a hardware guy, designed a circuit for them but they were not interested. Of course, the cost to do that would make buying a real Smart Bike a better choice unless you were related to the designer.
Sounds like you are not getting the disconnects reported after one minute over here, right?
I wonder if the two of you are on different firmware on the bike.
