I try to install the following setup -> Mac OS X Yosemite iMac, Tacx Bushido Smart  T2780 (2015 Model), but I cannot find a way to connect to the Tacx Bushido. 

Do you have any suggestion on how to do that?

Do you have your ANT+ dongle plugged in close to the Bushido Smart?

Hi Hamad,

While the trainer TRANSMITS ANT+, your computer needs a way to RECEIVE the signal. Without an ANT+ dongle attached to your computer, there is nowhere for that data to go.

You will need a USB 2.0 ANT+ dongle for your computer.

Where Can i Buy ANT + Dongle for my computer

How does it look like?

Hi Hamad,

If you are continuing to have trouble pairing your Tacx Bushido Smart, please read the Zwift Guide to Watopia here: https://support.zwift.com/hc/en-us/sections/200993429-Zwift-Guide-to-Watopia

Make sure your Tacx trainer’s firmware is updated to F-EC: https://support.zwift.com/hc/en-us/articles/205107765–Info-Updating-your-Tacx-Smart-firmware-ANT-FE-C-to-enable-Zwift-resistance-control
