Just wondering if there is any update to this being available for Zwift.
I’ve had so many issues with dropouts with my v.5 Kickr over the last several months I’ve given up on group rides and racing. The final straw for me was experiencing dropouts on consecutive events, the first 50K into a 100K group ride, the second when I was leading a crit race with 600 metres to go.
I’ve been troubleshooting for months – uninstalls, re-installs, powered USB extension cables, different ANT+ dongles, bluetooth signal booster, every possible pairing configuration, moving my computer right next to the trainer, firmware updates, changing my router’s channel, trying to eliminate interferance – if there’s a troubleshooting tip out there, I’ve tried it.
The most stable configuration is pairing the Kickr power and cadence by Bluetooth and the Controlable FEC using ANT+. It works about 80 per cent of the time but the 20 per cent is what has me tearing my hair out.
I have same problems and I have dircon already. It works with trainerroad and other platforms already. Could u pleease make it work asap so I can use zwift again
I totally agree! It is not possible to use the Kickr V5 with Zwift in a reliable manner, and I have been trying every possible troubleshooting tip out there… The direct connect is totally stable and super quick with SUF… We need this ASAP!
I have the same issue continuously experiencing connection drops on both ANT+ and BTLE… Any update on the use of Wahoo Direct Connect for v5 Kickr on Zwift?
Given the speed at which Zwift is operating on all fronts, my guess is that it will take at least 10 years for them to even unbox the Wahoo Direct Connect dongle.
I am noticing that when it comes to any aspect of Zwift, i am not able to talk about Zwift without cynicism anymore. Quite sad.
I’m using Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro access point and EdgeRouter at home but since I’m using Apple TV 4K för Zwifting I’m forced to use bluetooth (unfortunately).
Every monthly update breaks KICKR v5 ERG workout pause until it’s patched a week or so later - it’s just hilarious at this point. You can’t pause the workout without breaking the ERG. Unplugging the KICKR and plugging it back in is the only way to fix it.
3 times in the past two weeks I’ve had issues where the sensor connection lags by 10-15 seconds. Seriously Zwift, how is the largest online cycling platform lagging so far behind in this!? This is seems like something simple to implement.
Adding my vote to this. Serious lags (hard to estimate time, but definitely greater than 15s) are making me crazy. I’ll push to crest a hill… and then I’ll still be pushing ~300 watts to make 50 rpm on the downhill… terrible on ups and downs. I want a better connection (assuming this would help)
