I am having issues with connecting my tacx trainer to Zwift. Does Zwift interface with the Tacx iGenius Multiplayer T1990? I can not see it as a registered device on the app and it does not seem to engage the braking system. Is there a step or workaround I need to put in place? Regards Dave ---

Unless tacx calls it a smart trainer I believe they were never intended to play well with others, just the tacx software. Have a read of this archived post. What year is your model from?

I agree. Can’t connect with my Tacx Vortex trainer . Works fine with my Tacx software but can’t connect with Zwift.
