We’ve enabled a new Pairing Screen UI with icons that show how your devices are connected to Zwift. The icons for each signal show how they’re paired: WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, ANT+.
If your heart rate monitor, Zwift Ride, or Zwift Click v2 controllers connect through a Wahoo KICKR Core v2, a new beacon will appear in the upper right.
This new feature is enabled for everyone using game version 1.106+.
Another good tweak would be to visually highlight when battery is low which we can see in the picture above. E.g. to make the color beaming red instead of white.
YES PLEASE! Battery status would greatly appreciate.
Just a fixed icon ? probably a bit hard to have it change the number of bars for actual signal strength.
No really a problem for most people I guess with the PC or laptop right next to the bike.
The integrated WiFi 6 PCiE cards these days with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and two decent aerials have really improved my setup compared to USB dongles all over the place.
Is there a list somewhere of each of the various icons used and what connection type each one represents? Thanks!
Love how this new updated broke my zwift hub. Support tells me after not responding for 3 days, that I’m out of warranty and the can’t do anything. It was only two years old..and this was a replacement from another unit that stopped working after one month. Zwift make sure these updates aren’t crashing units! Do the right thing and support your hardware.
I don’t know if that was an AI response, but although your Hub might be out of warranty, it’s still a supported trainer for Zwift. So why don’t you post up some more details here about exactly what the problem is and people here can try and help you, and you also probably need to go back to Zwift support with more info (especially if it was a nonsense AI reply).
Is this only if Wahoo is used, or would appear if using say an Elite Justo (which also has bridging)?

This new beacon will show for Wahoo KICKR Core v2 at this time.
So, you’ve got connection type icons for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and ANT+. But what about serial ports?? You know, the connection type that RacerMate Computrainers use that Zwift has supported since the beginning and still claims to support, yet for more than 3 weeks now Zwift won’t stay paired with them for more than 2 seconds, and Zwift still has no solution? These new connection type icons seem like a real possible culprit.
Here’s my theory - I load Zwift, I see my Computrainers showing up in the list of available trainers/power sources, I select one, it pairs (so far working just like it did prior to version 1.105), and then the new pairing screen code kicks in and tries to figure out whether the Computrainer is connected by Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, or ANT+ so that it can display the correct icon. When it realizes it is not connected by any of those methods, it throws up an error code and drops the pairing.
Please explore this ASAP since you haven’t found the solution yet. And if I am right, but it’s not an easy fix, can you please just remove the new pairing screen code for now until you find a way to incorporate serial port connections, so that your paying customers using Computrainers, many of whom have been with Zwift for a very long time, can continue to use Zwift?

Thanks.
