I have an elite turbo trainer that transmits power to zwift and my garmin. Whenever I try to enter a race with hardware requirements it says " power meter required" even though it us cinnected already and it measures power!
Do I need a differen’t power meter (which I don’t have), or what is the problem here? I think the power meter hardaware requirement is broken…
If your trainer uses the Misuro B+ sensor, that is not considered a real power meter. There are many trainers (especially the “smart” spin bikes) that broadcast power but don’t have a reasonably accurate way of measuring power, so the number it transmits is essentially rubbish.
So the misuro B+ sensor is rubbish? Because for me it’s just as acurate as any power meter…
Yes, and sorry but it isn’t.
The Misuro B+ doesn’t measure power at all and just estimates it based on various factors. It can often be way off, and isn’t comparable to a proper power meter. It might be that you’ve been lucky and for you it’s relatively accurate, but if so then you’re in the minority.
If you have a power meter you could use that as your power source and get access to more races
Well ok then how to pair misuro b+? Lol man… I can’t use another power meter since it is on a differen’t bike. Yes I could try to put that bike on my trainer, but it’s 12 speed and an xd mtb cassette will not fit on shimano 11 speed hub🤦🏼♂️
I might not even be able to pair ant+ to zwift, I don’t have a dongle right now either
