Wahoo Kickr Core

I have been using a Kickr Core without any issues in training programs using ERG mode.

Ever since the Zwift update last week, every session I do now at least once at the end of a block the trainer drops out of ERG mode and will not pick it back up again. The only solution I have is to switch trainer off at the mains and reconnect. The training plan resumes ok but it is a real pain.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not having this issue with my kickr core, how are you connecting to Zwift? Bluetooth or ant+?

Bluetooth between MacBook Pro and Kickr Core.

There is no predicting it, it happens at the end of a block where the power is about to change.

This might be something to do with bluetooth, can you try ant+?

No, I don’t have an ANT+ dongle.

I don’t understand why it worked spot on until the most recent update.

I had so many problems with bluetooth that I stopped using it and switched to ant+ many months ago, no more signal drops or issues ever since!

I suggest you give it a try. Zwift and bluetooth, especially on windows 10, just doesn’t seem to get along well.

Since the update yesterday I am no longer able to connect to my Kickr Core via Bluetooth on Windows 10.

Please not now! I am desperate for this training in this times where I can’t leave the house!

No, I don’t have an ANT+ dongle, nor am I able to buy one.

The Powersource finds the Kickr Core but says “No signal”
Cadence and Smart Trainer are not even found.

[UPDATE]
Got another Zwift Update an hour ago (2 updates in 2 days?). Did a reboot of the machine afterwards as devices were still not found and power-cycled the trainer. After that pairing was possible again.

connect/pair through the companion app and give it a try
