Request: Auto resistance for Nordictrack S15i bike

[ferdiretief]

This is a request to add auto resistance for the Nordictrack S15i bike please Thanks

[cagnulein]

sure I need the screenshot like this thread https://github.com/cagnulein/QZCompanionNordictrackTreadmill/issues/24

You can use the batch file to acquire them https://github.com/cagnulein/QZCompanionNordictrackTreadmill/blob/master/InstallPackage/adb-screenshot.bat

Let me know!

[ferdiretief]

Hi @cagnulein,

How do I use the batch file? Do I run it from my pc or on the bike? Sorry - not sure what to do. Also please confirm the screenshots you need please

[cagnulein]

hi @ferdiretief are you able to connect via adb to the tablet?

[ferdiretief]

adb?

[cagnulein]

ok let's make it simpler: download an apk to create screenshots from your tablet and attach them here thanks

[ferdiretief]

ok - which screenshots specifically do you need?

[ferdiretief]

@cagnulein

[cagnulein]

perfect, i will implement this in the next days

@ferdiretief in the meantime: if you press on the inclination and/or resistance tile with the plus/minus button on qz are you getting a touch event on the tablet of your bike?

[ferdiretief]

@cagnulein No it does not. It also does not increment the counter on qz when I tap the button. When I incline on the bike it does register on qz however

[cagnulein]

ok so first of all we need to understand this @ferdiretief are you to send me a logcat.txt log after pressing the log button in the companion?

the file is located in the sdcard

let me know

[ferdiretief]

@cagnulein logcat.log

[cagnulein]

hi @ferdiretief actually I saw the request from QZ into this log, this is a good sign. Unfortunately they are all set to null. Could you please also attach a debug log from QZ? Thanks

[ferdiretief]

Hi @cagnulein Where do I go to download the log on QZ? I am using an android device

I had to restart multiple times this morning to get Zwift to see qz (first 4 files) and then the app would not see the S15i's signals so I have to restart everything again to get that to work (last 2 files) @cagnulein

[cagnulein]

I had to restart multiple times this morning to get Zwift to see qz (first 4 files) and then the app would not see the S15i's signals so

are you using the virtual bluetooth interface of qz or the wahoo virtual? if you are not using the wahoo one i suggest to use this to resolve this instability

debug-Tue_Apr_18_06_27_30_2023.log

in this I can see that QZ is asking to change the inclination but in the logcat file, this time, I can't see anything. Are the time synced between the 2 devices? if so i guess the logcat terminates before the last test with qz. Could you please double check this?

[ferdiretief]

I am using the QZ bluetooth - How do I use the wahoo virtual option - is it a setting on QZ?

I will recreate the files and send it to you

@cagnulein

[cagnulein]

it's the default one. You will see in Zwift a device called Wahoo. Don't you see it?

I will recreate the files and send it to you

ok!

[ferdiretief]

This is what I have enabled on Experimental Features @cagnulein

[cagnulein]

@ferdiretief yes correct

[ferdiretief]

it's the default one. You will see in Zwift a device called Wahoo. Don't you see it?

I do use the Wahoo option in Zwift - that is what connects automatically after the second reboot @cagnulein

[cagnulein]

ok so when you talked about instability, what were you talking about? you didn't see the metrics on qz? or you saw the metrics on qz but not on zwift?

[ferdiretief]

When I start everything up I do it in this order

1. Turn off Bluetooth and reboot my android phone (qz device)
2. Switch on the S15i
3. After I hear the chime and the screen is up, I then turn on Bluetooth on my phone and launch the app
4. I then launch Zwift on my laptop

9 out of 10 times Zwift does not see QZ at this point so then I:

1. Turn off Bluetooth on my phone and reboot it again
2. At the same time I close the Zwift app
3. Turn in Bluetooth on my phone and launch QZ
4. Launch Zwift on my laptop again.

9 times out of 10, it will then connect and I can ride. @cagnulein

[ferdiretief]

QZ connects to the bike immediately so that is not the issue - it is Zwift not seeing QZ

[cagnulein]

ok first of all, bluetooth is completely not involved in this process. It's all over wifi. So it could be that your PC is not on the same wifi of the qz app and the bike? You can use this software on the PC https://bonjour-browser.software.informer.com/1.3/ to check if you can see the wahoo service from your pc when qz is showing the tiles.

[ferdiretief]

Definitely on the same wifi.... Zwift connects over Bluetooth does it not? @cagnulein

[ferdiretief]

Ok I will give it a go

[cagnulein]

Definitely on the same wifi.... Zwift connects over Bluetooth does it not? @cagnulein

zwift can connect to wifi or bluetooth qz can send metrics to zwift via bluetooth or wifi (default both)

so on zwift you should see both.

If not it means that something on the PC is preventing this. I will focus on the WIFI since is the easiest way to have all of this working

[ferdiretief]

Not having much luck ... even though the service seems to be running, it is not connecting @cagnulein

[ferdiretief]

Then I started rebooting the devices

@cagnulein

[ferdiretief]

eventually I got some of the Zwift services connecting even though the Wahoo services seemed to not be running... but unless Controlable connects, it does not work @cagnulein

[ferdiretief]

more reboots... no luck  @cag

[cagnulein]

@ferdiretief do you have another phone in order to install zwift there and try without the PC?

Maybe the windows firewall is doing something

[ferdiretief]

Don't think so @cagnulein - If it was windows firewall it would never work - but it works most of the time after about 2 phone reboots

[cagnulein]

ok but try to remove the PC from the equation for a test. Because Windows has so many things that we have to be sure that's the issue is there. QZ with Dircon never miss a beats on my end and actually is the most used solution in the facebook group. So try to install zwift on another mobile and keep qz running there. Let me know

[ferdiretief]

Will qz work with Apple TV @cagnulein ?

[cagnulein]

yes it's my setup, qz on iphone and zwift on apple tv Roberto Viola Software engineer and open source enthusiast http://robertoviola.cloud

Ok - here are the new debug files logcat.txt debug-Sat_Apr_22_15_29_24_2023.log I re-installed the companion to get a clean log file @cagnulein

[cagnulein]

@ferdiretief ok so the metrics are coming from the companion, qz writes the inclination, but the companion never reiceved them for some reason. qz says that the bytes are sent, so the issue must be on the companion side. I have to think about this

In the mean time, we can override this, enabling the "ADB Remote" setting in the proform bike section and restart QZ. This will send the inclination directly with adb, without passing from the qz companion.

If it works, you should see a swipe on the touch screen (probably with a wrong coordinate) when you press the inclination or the resistance plus/minus button tile

Let me know

[ferdiretief]

@cagnulein I sold my Nordictrack so unable to test any further - Thanks for your help on this thus far, I am sure there will be another S15i owner that would like to continue discussions with you

[cagnulein]

ah ok @ferdiretief what did you buy instead?

[ferdiretief]

I bought a Wahoo Kickr V6 @cagnulein
