Who can help me with this issue ? My avatar doesn’t start running.
I want to take a subscription to Zwift (maybe it’s important to mention that I didn’t subscribe yet).
My treadmill is with blutooth and is paired with Zwift. Unfortunately my avatar doesn’t start running.
Who can help me please.
Thank you.
Is it a smart treadmill that is specifically designed to work with Zwift? What is the make/model?
Running is free on Zwift so presently you don’t need to subscribe.
I had that problem same problem with my treadmill until just recently. I have a Landice L7 with the cardio console that is two or three years old now. It has Bluetooth and can share speed and incline with the Landice app on my iPhone.
When I tried it about a year ago it would appear as a device in Zwift and it would connect, but Zwift didn’t receive or interpret the data as speed (or incline), and my avatar would not move. The only solution was to resort to using a Bluetooth foot pod.
However, recently I tried again just before starting ZA Run 2020 and zwift must have added the functionality in a recent update because it is currently working! This is despite the fact that the Landice does not appear in Zwift’s list of supported treadmills on zwift’s support site.
So if your treadmill does not work try again in the future, or look for a foot pod.
Thank you very much for your answer! It’s appreciated.
Kind regards,
Geert
Follow up question (I’m looking to purchase a Landice L7). Does the Zwift app have the ability to control speed/incline according to workout, or does it only detect speed and incline according to Treadmill settings?
Zwift presently will not change either speed or incline, these have to be changed manually to match the workout.
What Stuart said. Zwift only records what speed and incline the treadmill is operating at. But: I’ll add that I think it may be a limitation with the treadmill, because even Landice’s app doesn’t control either, and I think that this is only supported on Landice treadmills with certain consoles. Mine has the the Cardio console. I seem to recall reading somewhere in the manual that the more expensive executive console for my year/version doesn’t support Bluetooth, and remember that Landice is not an officially supported treadmill by Zwift so check that it works before buying!
