[REQ] Wahoo Kickr Headwind

[Bugeater624]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would love to have compatibility to connect the Wahoo Kickr Headwind fan to the speed sensor of QZ, and use that to modulate the fan to simulate wind speed on Zwift.

Describe the solution you'd like Instructions or ability to use the Kickr Headwind with Zwift.

Describe alternatives you've considered Of course I could get a different fan, but that wouldn’t be near as fun! :)

Additional context Appreciate all of your help!

Hi @Bugeater624 do you have already it? If so can you please share a nrfconnect screenshot about it? nrfconnect is a free app on the store. Let me know

[Bugeater624]

I do not, I’m sorry. I was trying to figure out if it had compatibility with QZ and my Echelon bike before I purchased.Brock SandersOn Feb 16, 2023, at 8:24 AM, Roberto Viola @.***> wrote: Hi @Bugeater624 do you have already it?

hah ok :) you can try also to contact @marcelomanzo he has a bluetooth fan that it's already compatible with QZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdvNtNWnxNY

[Bugeater624]

I looked into that, and I think I need something a little more powerful. And the fan changing speeds based on how fast you’re going sounds cool and very immersive.Can the Wahoo fan be connected with the current app or would you need to do some additional work to make it compatible?Brock SandersOn Feb 16, 2023, at 9:03 AM, Roberto Viola @.***> wrote: hah ok :) you can try also to contact @marcelomanzo it has a bluetooth fan that it's already compatible with QZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdvNtNWnxNY

for sure i need to do a patch in order to make it work , but it's impossible to know without having it

maybe @jonathancolledge can help us with this

[davebattles]

I have the headwind and can be helpful. I would love if it was supported.

@Bugeater624 As for current support, I can pair qz to the wahoo app with heartrate as one of the sensors so the app correctly displays my heartrate. Then I add the headwind to wahoo as well but the heartrate readings will not change the headwind speed. I basically have to control the headwind manually though the app :[ which is sort of ok I guess.

If you tell me what I need to screenshot I will gladly do it.

@davebattles great! are you on android? or do you have at least an android device?

[davebattles]

I'm about to go to bed, but I can put one or two old android ones to charge while I sleep, sure.

[cagnulein]

ok, perfect. i just need that you follow this https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/blob/master/docs/20_supported_devices_and_applications.md#android-device with the wahoo app and change manually the fan level from the 0 to the max step by step and reverse

Let me know

here you go. I opened the wahoo app and switched from HR (heart rate) to SPD (speed) to manual (starts @25% speed). I took it up to 100% back down to 1% a few times I'll do it again if I did it poorly.

thanks! i will check this tomorrow!

[cagnulein]

perfect @davebattles it looks very simple to implement! I'm doing right now @Bugeater624 are you still interested?

[cagnulein]

done, let me know if you want the new beta to test this

[davebattles]

Wow that was quick. Yeah I'd love to test it.

[cagnulein]

@davebattles send me an email to roberto.viola83 at gmail.com indicating this ticket and if you are on android or iOS. Thanks

[davebattles]

I'm not sure if you saw my testflight beta comment, but I have hanging, disconnecting from echelon in the new beta. iPhone client would minimize the app and the bluetooth connection would drop. iPad didnt minimize the app but would still drop the connection. I can test the android app to see if something similar happens.

im going to try the pc version and see if it persists.

[cagnulein]

no @davebattles I'm not receiving testflight notification (it doesn't have it at all). so the app is crashing? do you have have a debug log? if you disable the headwind new settings everything works as usual?

[cagnulein]

@davebattles I read now the comment in the testflight. QZ is not supposed to run on background on iOS. The only way to keep it in "background" is to use the split view on iPadOS. On android, instead, you can enabling the notification icon settings in the experimental settings and restart QZ. I will build an android one later today.

But if you use QZ on foreground, the fan is working? We should start from this :)

[davebattles]

Yeah if I have the headwind option off it doesnt disconnect from the echelon bike. I did a 40 min ride like this with the beta with no issues. When I turn it on (headwind) it finds the echelon bike but after 30 seconds or so it disconnects. It doesnt seem like I can get the fan to respond with qz during this time and a few tries using the manual setting 0-100 and tapping on the fan control widget. heartrate control also didnt seem to kick in with 120-170 settings and even 1-90 settings.

p.s. I wasnt running QZ in the background, something in qz with headwind enabled would minimize the app and stop it. It does it by itself.

[cagnulein]

ok @davebattles send me a debug log with the headwind setting enabled so i can debug it. i wrote the code but of course i didn't be able to test anything since i don't have the fan :)

@davebattles any news about this? @Bugeater624 are you still interested on this?

I'm searching through my mentions to see what I missed. Sadly I don't have a head wind!

[cagnulein]

@jonathancolledge nevermind, I thought you own it :) Baby don't let you sleep, ah? :D

@jonathancolledge nevermind, I thought you own it :) Baby don't let you sleep, ah? :D Haha, was just up!

[davebattles]

@davebattles any news about this? @Bugeater624 are you still interested on this?

I got covid at one point and couldn't be on the bike. Im all good now. Do you have a guide for taking logs of the bike app crashing & not connecting with an iOS or android device?

[cagnulein]

oh sorry to hear this @davebattles i hope you are better now! yes for the debug log check this https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/wiki/How-do-i-get-the-debug-log-in-case-something-doesn't-work%3F

[davebattles]

Wahooheadwinddebuglogs.zip

when it crashed it made a few log files in a short time period, so i had to attach them all =/

Explanation of issue: Wahoo fan disabled = qz runs fine, no crashing. Enabled wahoo fan on manual = no crashing so far but fan doesnt respond Enabled wahoo heartrate = qz app disconnects from bike and the app unfocuses (doesn't fully close, but now I see the iphone gui)

[cagnulein]

@davebattles got the issue! I'm fixing it! send me an email to roberto.viola83 at gmail.com indicating this ticket and if you are on android or iOS in order to get the new beta! Thanks

[davebattles]

The crashing is completely gone and the disconnects no longer happen. However I can't get headwind fan control to work. I've tried everything at least 20 times to make sure. I'm unsure why it won't engage the fan. I'm wondering if I should start learning C++ so I can test stuff.

[cagnulein]

@davebattles great! Share a debug log and I can check it.

Manual speed.zip

I'm not sure this will help. I've been messing around trying to get it to respond with no success on pc as well.

[cagnulein]

@davebattles thanks. Checked the log: the main issue about this one is that the bike is not connected to QZ. Could you please try to redo this, and before trying to change the fan speed, try to check that the cadence or the wattage is going to the QZ tile. Let me know!

[davebattles]

I am, I just genuinely left town for a couple of weeks. I get back in tonight so expect some logs soon as I get back to my bike. I will be extra careful to connect everything and document it.

[cagnulein]

ok no problem :)

June20debugwahoo.zip

the qz tile for the fan was being updated during my ride and was going from 80-90-80-100 correctly when using the power setting, however the fan was never engaged, didnt turn on at the start of the ride or afterwards.

I want to make sure you know, you probably do.. It should be noted that the fan cannot be paired to my phone. I am relying on the qz app to make that connection for me.

life has calmed down so i'm going to be doing rides every single day now.

[cagnulein]

thanks @davebattles !

that's an awesome news!

yes I'm aware of this, this is the right behaviour.

I guess I fixed it now, I will send you another one later today!

[davebattles]

Well it's definitely working now! Didn't wait to finish my ride to tell you. I'll be trying the different modes more to see if there are things that need to be changed but heart and power mode run like I would expect.

[cagnulein]

great news @davebattles ! let me know if I can improve it somehow!

I noticed that my headwind works only if i put in manually first. I guess I understood why debug-lun_ott_30_05_34_50_2023.zip
