.setName for Bluetooth service seems picky #12

In main routine, if I have the following, Zwift works fine: Bluefruit.setName("K");

However, if I put Bluefruit.setName("KbikeBLE"); in there, the cadence part seems to work fine and lists the service as KbikeBLE, however, the Power Source connection in Zwift show the service as K36. It does connect, but immediately I get a No Signal alert on that service. Speed shows up but Power does not. I didn't pick up the latest release that allow FTMS to be disabled but I believe I have FTMS disabled on my own. I guess I must have something messed up as I sense that other folks have this working without a problem.

Zwift seems to work fine for others with FTMS disabled, but it's not clear that it's working with FTMS. Are you using V1.1, or a download from the main repository? There was a post-V1.1 fix to remove reporting of resistance with FTMS, to be consistent with the fact that resistance can't be changed.

I did notice when I tested with Zwift that it abbreviated the name. I do wonder whether Zwift tries to do things that are dependent upon the name. Some stationary bikes that provide inflated power estimates have apparently been a problem.

I'm presently using Wahoo SYSTM and let my free Zwift trial period expire, so my ability to test is limited! Any systematic testing is appreciated!
