Bug: power meter loses connection in activity
-
@Olaf-Gottschalk said in Bug: power meter loses connection in activity:
…now my power meter connectivity during my bike rides randomly gets cut off, with the power data remaining at 0 Watts constantly.
This happens mostly during coffee stops in Auto Pause, but also sometimes in mid ride.Apparently Suunto does not implement a proper reconnect while in an activity.
I use Favero Assioma Uno power meter pedals connected to my Wahoo Roam using Ant+ and to my Suunto Race using Bluetooth.
I have not had any problems with the Race not reconnecting during coffee/shop stops where the Race is out of reach from the pedals.
If you are connecting the speedplay pedals to the Roam with Bluetooth then maybe try switching to Ant+. Just a wild guess that the Race might have some issues when also the Roam is using a Bluetooth connection to the pedals. Might not be the case though but something that you could try.

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen thanks for the hint, Mads. Will check and try.
The problem I see is that this has never been an issue for more than 2 years with the old Bluetooth firmware and just appeared after the major redesign.
I hope that Suunto is aware of this issue and does something about it.My Race is on the bike, so technically never far away from the pedals on stops, and two days ago the connection dropped even mid-ride without a pause.
I just wish the Pause menu had a connections settings so I can actively check&reconnect…

Same thing happened to me today, after 3:30h into 5:30h ride. It was just after big climb and I paused watch (vertical). It was not first pause/autopause of the ride. I found out after a descent that my power is 0 and tried to go into menu to reconnect but no luck. If we had resume later option this could be usefull in such case. Never happened before last update… and my assioma power meter pedals were only connected to suunto vertical, I don’t have bike computer. But I am probably going to switch to coros after 15years of suunto

hi all .
The devices will try to reconnect at all times provided they are found at the prestart screen.
If the cannot be found / reconnected then please try to close some BT of the phone (yup you read correctly ) just in case the phone has taken over (we have seen reports of this ).
Also in regards to power meters /sesnors.
Power of 0 is not disconnect. When the sensor is disconnected it should eventually show “–” after displaying the last value for a little.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thank you, I’ll give it another shot. Do you have any info if this is going to be resolved at some point? Atleast reconnecting in settings or maybe stoping acitivity and resuming later?
-
@Likarnik The watch will always try to connect to the device. No matter how much time has passed. I have this for example with my cadence sensors. We stop cadence sensor goes off, 1h later (finished eating) it reconnects. Check only if not something else is grabbing the connection.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok, I did not think about that someone else ‘stole’ my BT signal. My PM is set to power off after 3min, so normally it wakes up after turning pedals and SV shows power no problem, just not this time… but it happened with h10 before that
-
@Likarnik Keep me posted. My wahoo cadence does the same. Powers off after a few. Spin of the cranks wakes it up and reconnects
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos you are single-handedly keeping my faith in suunto

@Likarnik "-p

I have a related problem where the watch links to my QUARQ pm, but then doesn’t pair duringhte ride. My stages PM is happy to pair along with my Karoo head unit. .
