if it’s BT pod sensor it should be detected

Anssi Auvinen

But it does not, but is seen on the zwift app. It’s bluetooth, but not foot pod. It is attached to treadmill and provides speed, incline and cadence.

@Anssi-Auvinen can you use wahoo utilities app and see from there what profiles (data) the app recognizes (its a great app btw)

Anssi Auvinen

I think Wahoo Utility is only for android and i’m iOS user. But i could connect it to Wahoo fitness app.

@Anssi-Auvinen Looks good.

What does the S9 do when you try to pair it with a pod?

Like connectivity -> pair sensor -> foot pod -> While its searching start the device

Anssi Auvinen

S9 says instructions “activate…”, “move closer”, “check battery” and finally pairing failed. Next to it I had phone with Wahoo and it found it.

@Anssi-Auvinen Ok please do this. BT devices can only be paired to one device. I am suspecting that some other device has locked to the sensor (BT device).

Put airplane mode to all devices except the watch.
Reboot / power off/ on the sensor
Reboot the watch 12s upper button
Turn airplane mode on the watch on and then off (like 5 seconds difference).
Got to pair the pod
While the instructions are there try to give a spin to the threadmill (so that the sensor can broadcast some data and the watch can pick it up)

Anssi Auvinen

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos OK, will try that later today. But I yesterday tried to connect it to the watch first before any other device.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Anssi-Auvinen I get it. I am trying to help figure out what is going on.

I can ask the team for more info if needed. Its a new sensor but in theory it should be supported. There is no reason it shouldn’t

Those BT profiles (used by apps) are pretty much the standart

“In addition, it’ll soon broadcast itself as a standard running footpod, but as of this writing it’s not yet in the firmware. Once done that’ll show up on both ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart, allowing you to pair it to virtually any Garmin/Suunto/Polar/COROS etc running or multisport watch. For now though, none of those watches support FE-C or FTMS, so you wouldn’t be able to use it with them directly yet.”

So this is why it does not pair yet.

@Anssi-Auvinen hey thanks a lot about this!
