So it’s the same thing?
Just your power on flat and climb but not downhill?
Training Peaks has completely failed to defend the term since its inception. And suing Zwift over using it would be the dumbest move they could possibly make. It would do nothing but torch every ounce of good will they have.

but they have asked others not to use the terms
It’s been part of Zwift Power for longer than I’ve been here. TP has failed to defend against that prominent use and would lose any lawsuit they tried to bring, and would lose customers if they did.
They can put an R in a circle behind it all they like, it’s a generic term now.

Hi, I’ve synced the Fabero pedals and tried both the left pedal and the right pedal, but the balance on the HUD doesn’t work. Bluetooth mode.
Edit, nope I’m wrong… not a setting you missed
If would be nice if we could toggle it from critical power to ongoing average for the various durations.

I know to get l/r balance on my Garmin using assioma duo-shi, they need to be on an ant+ connection rather than Bluetooth
Which I thought was weird commentary from GPLama this morning in his video stating they had to be on BLE.
In the favero app you can set them to send the power of both pedals through the left one.
Then it should work.

The original post here says the same, i.e. it won’t work unless the connection is Bluetooth.
I’m only seeing a single for my Pro RS 2’s
Not that .. I’m going to go down this road of having it enabled. But I do find it strange it requires BLE when using them by default with BLE means you don’t get balance data.
+1 on this request. Supposedly L/R power is available for example with an Elite Justo, if you run the paid version of Elite’s app. So for example, is this data also available in Zwift, or not?
I agree, a list of known compatibilities would be nice, if not expected.

I think it’s pretty much dependent upon whether the calculations are done in the trainer manufactuerers app or the trainer itself. My guess is that Elite and Garmin may just take other data from the trainer and run it through an algorithm to produce a l/r balance estimate.
From what I understand this is just an estimation and not accurate at all.
Even so, L/R data is being sent to the app, so will or won’t it also be available in Zwift?
I don’t think so - it may be some other unprocessed data that then is used to estimate within the app itself to produce the l/r balance number. Not sure though and would probably be something to confirm with Garmin and Elite

A quick google search on how Elite calculates returned the below. I’m far from qualified to say whether or not this can lead to accurate data or not. Though this blurb seems to suggest that the trainer (not the app) is doing the calculating. Of course, AI can be wrong 
The primary point though, is why can’t Zwift list the equipment that supports L/R data in their HUD?
To determine left and right power balance, the Elite trainers use a method called “Pedalling Analysis”. The high rotational speed of the axle allows the optical sensor to gather hundreds of data points for each pedal stroke. The trainer analyzes the power output during the different phases of each pedal stroke, attributing power to either the left or right leg based on the detected torque changes. This data is then presented as a percentage split between the two legs, allowing riders to monitor any imbalance.
Shuji at Zwift HQ. I checked your server logs. Your Power signal is paired to the Favero pedals over Bluetooth, but your Resistance signal is paired via ANT+.
I believe this will be solved for you if both signals are paired over Bluetooth. You can 100% ensure you’re paired over Bluetooth if you remove the ANT+ USB dongle from your computer. Unless you have an ANT-only device like a heart rate monitor, the dongle isn’t needed and will only cause you problems.
