Thanks for merging. I will attempt
Zwift companion again. My sensors are connected but not responding.
Kind regards

if you pedal while on that screen do the values for watts and cadence change from zero?
Hi Chris
Thanks for responding.
No they donât.
Kind regards

I think that is only needed for Android - on iOS bluetooth has its own setting (i think, i donât use apple products so could be wrong)
Do you have anything else that might be able to record data like a bike computer or anything? try connecting the trainerâs power to that via Ant+ to see if the trainer is transmitting power
Hi Chris
I suspect my cadence sensor is faulty. I installed the wahoo fitness app. The trainer is transmitting speed but my cadence sensor (rpm) is working intermittently.
I can see Bluetooth light flashing and then it goes off for a while before it starts flashing again.
Kind regards
Shaan Watkins
might be a trainer issue in that case, update to the latest firmware if you havenât already and see if that helps.
Hi Chris
I did that as well. 
Kind regards

After spindown on your phone, ensure that you are completely disconnected from the Kickr App. Hard close the app, etcâŚ
I am going through the same. I have tried everything and since the latest update I can no longer race or see other riders on Zwift. It seems to be a problem with the latest update but it from what I have been reading, Zwift is trying to place the blame on internet connexion instead. I have internet connection but Zwift wont connect. Super disappointed
A lot of people with Internet problems it seems. I have a Kickr Core which is useless which I canât use.
I wonder if I take out a new subscription and cancel my current one if it will work.
I know I will lose my stats but at least I will be able to ride again.
Kind regards
Shaan Watkins
You wonât lose your stats when cancelling your subscription!
I actually did this too and nothing changed.
Hi.
I just wish that someone will contact me or spend time with me to solve this problem.
I am connected from the app to my Kickr core. My devices are connected. I can do callibration but the cyclist Do not want to move. I am only signed in from one device.
If I use the wahoo app the app works and I can record what is going on.
It can also not be internet as I have a 100mbp/s line.
Kind regards

Hi @Shaan_Watkins, Youâve gotten lots of good suggestions, letâs see if I can summarize your setup and try to help you troubleshoot the issue.
-
you are using your macbook only, correct? The ipad and iphone are not being used for the game app and it was force closed or uninstalled. You can however use the ipad or iphone for the companion app (this is different from the game app, not the same, donât open the game app on different devices at the same time).
-
connecting with bluetooth and letting the game find the trainer, do not connect the trainer to the macbooks built-in bluetooth, if it is connected âforgetâ the trainer.
-
using the Wahoo app, you can connect and do a spin down calibration. Do not use Zwift to perform calibration, just use the Wahoo app. Once that is completed, force close the wahoo app.
-
All other potential signal interference has been disabled or turned off such as fans, microwaves, other bluetooth sensors, etc. You donât need the additional cadence sensor, make sure that is disabled.
-
internet connection is strong, are you using wifi?
-
Zwift was given location permissions as per Gerryâs post above.
-
Using the companion app to bridge the signal doesnât work either? For this to work you need to click on the small gear icon on the pairing screen in the top right side of the âpaired devicesâ box. Choose the âuse companionâ option rather than âbuilt in bluetoothâ.
If all that is correct, youâve tried all the suggested solutions and it still isnât working, then the next suggestion I have is to purchase an inexpensive ANT+ dongle and a USB extension cable, there are bundles on Amazon for around $20 last I checked. ANT+ might be your best option if bluetooth will no longer connect.

Hi Mike.
Please see my answers in the mail below. Ip also provide you with some pics.
- ANT+ and Companion on devices paired
- ANT+ and Bluetooth on
- Bluetooth on
- ANT+ on
- Bridging with Companion
You can see the signal on the left top corner. In all these instances the rider does nothing.

Shuji at Zwift HQ again. Iâm looking through your server logs and see that your Macbook10,1 is on version OSX 12.0 of the operating system. Appleâs latest version is OSX 12.5.
Weird things can happen when the OS is out of date. Would you update that so we can eliminate that as a cause of your issues?
VERY IMPORTANT: when you update macOS, Apple resets the app permissions to the default (restrictive) security settings which prevents apps from using the Bluetooth radio hardware. Please follow these instructions on our Support Hub after youâve updated macOS.
Side note: I know youâre frustrated, but Iâm seeing logins from both your iOS and macOS devices again. Weâve talked about this upstream. Please pick one device as your primary Zwift computer and uninstall Zwift from your others to eliminate concurrently logged in devices as the cause of this issue.

Hi Shiji
I used my IPad but after Mikes recommendation I used my MacBook. Do you see the log entries for today.
Kind regards

In recent days, Iâm seeing logins from iOS and macOS devices, and concurrent logins will definitely cause the avatar not moving issue.
Please choose one as your Zwifting computer. Uninstall the app from the others, update the operating system, etc and letâs get your avatar moving like it should.
