Is Zwift speed and incline control possible via Raspberry PI?

[magicdude4eva]

I have successfully managed to install QZ on the Raspberry PI via https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/blob/master/docs/10_Installation.md

In the past I used the QZ app on IOS and my Nordictrack S25 did work with the Zwift control by configuring the Zwift credentials as via https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/wiki/Can-Zwift-control-speed-and-or-inclination-of-my-treadmill%3F

Now my question is: Does this work on Raspberry PI? and what settings do I need to make in qDomyos-Zwift.conf (at the moment I have set zwift_password / zwift_username)

I am not sure if it suffices to change the controller name to "KICKR RUN" or if I need to do something else:

root@KICKR-RUN:~/.config/Roberto Viola # bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller D8:3A:DD:B0:17:F6 Pairable: yes
[bluetooth]# show
Controller D8:3A:DD:B0:17:F6 (public)
	Name: KICKR RUN
	Alias: KICKR RUN
	Class: 0x00000000

I didn't port the zwift api to raspberry yet but it's doable, I have only to add the right libraries version to the binary

For the kickr run trick it should work, did you already try? If it doesn't work (this is the best way instead of the zwift api), could you please show me how you see the raspberry from nrfconnect on the other device?

I started a PR for this
The problem is the Bluetooth name from the raspberry

Let me know

Perfect, this worked and I see the KICKR RUN now:

pairing works and on the main-screen it displays the incline if i adjust it manually on the treadmill (Nordictrack S25):

I enabled "Incline Control" in the hardware settings. I did not do any extensive tests, I just started a regular hill-run and did not notice that the incline was adjusted via Zwift. Do I need to adjust any settings in the conf file or is there something else I need to consider?

[cagnulein]

you shouldn't enable anything else. could you share a debug log so i can check it?

[magicdude4eva]

in qz-hill-run-kickr.txt.zip i have done a hill workout and in the video https://share.icloud.com/photos/01axHh5Uh0IvtFaBXbo68qJwA you will see that it does not auto-adjust to 4%.

in qz-manual-adjustment.txt i did some manual adjustments and the incline reflects on Zwift (video: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bdsCLEW6uj7Emso0v1QQTdnQ)

i am unsure if I do this right or if I am missing something?

[cagnulein]

@magicdude4eva zwift doesn't send inclination in the workouts (i don't know why, but they developed this in this way). use a free run or a race and you will see the autoinclination

Let me know!

[magicdude4eva]

Thanks, I did a group run this morning and saw that Zwift displayed the incline, but the treadmill did not adjust. I will redo this later on with debug logging on and paste the logs.

[cagnulein]

ok let me know! did you pair, of course, qz as contrallable, in the pair screen, right?

[magicdude4eva]

yes, it was paired and i verified in hardware settings that it is enabled. will post an update later on with logs.

[magicdude4eva]

good news: I did a free run and the auto incline works perfectly: https://share.icloud.com/photos/06dN8k5pBpuTwAOXgmxHrBChg

I have also included the debug log in case you want to check something qz-hill-run-kickr-auto.txt.zip

thanks for all the good work.

Ok so probably zwift sends inclination only on free run?

i will see if i can understand when this happens, but does look like yesterday's trainings hill-run did not trigger it.

[cagnulein]

Ok so the log that you just attached it's the one where it worked right?

Yes. Can we close this issue. I am going to open a separate one regarding the Pi integration.

ok create a ticket instead of a discussion in case
