A few weeks ago I noticed my pairing options changed. I typically connect my POWER to KICKR XXXX and my CONTROLLABLE to Wahoo FE-C XXXX. This was the only setup I could find that limited power drops. Now, the KICKR XXXX option is gone and I am forced to use Wahoo FE-C XXX for both POWER and CONTROLLABLE. I have been working with both Zwift and Wahoo but neither has been able to find the cause.
Anyone else have this issue and solved it? I am getting too many quick changes in power and it really taking away from the ride experience.
Hi Chris
Have you tried renaming the prefs.xml file, forcing Zwift to go on a ‘fresh’ search?
You also have a 'knowndevces.xml that should have the code-number of your devices, as they are now and what has been used in the past.
Example from my Kickr set up:
<DEVICE>[0] [768348] [2097153] KICKR 47452</DEVICE>
If you have the original Kickr number in there you could try copying that number into the prefs.xml .
Example from my Kickr set up.
<LASTPOWERDEVICE>768348</LASTPOWERDEVICE>

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately neither of them worked. I did go to a friends this evening to see if his Kickr was behaving the same. It was not. I then tried to connect my computer to his Kickr and I was NOT able to connect to KICKR XXXX.
Thinking this may be related to my computer or my credentials? I did reload Ant+ drivers. No joy there.
Any other good ideas out there?
Wahoo FE-C works fine.
Have you even tried a spin down?
Have you tried updating KickR firmware?
Cary, I wish FE-C did work fine. Unfortunately, as soon as I lost the option to connect to regular ANT+ for my power, the power drops returned.
I have tried updated firmware and a spin down. I have also gone through all the troubleshooting tips on bad connections. Sigh…very frustrating.
Thanks for the suggestions, though!
Hi Chris
As an aside, was there a Kickr xxx entry in your ‘knowndevices.xml’?
HI Paul -
Yes…there was a Kickr XXXX entry in ‘knowndevices.xml’
