In case any body else was on the struggle bus getting everything set up for their pain cave,. This is how I got everything connected and working... if you have other ways/tips pls SHARE for us non tech savvy people! 😝

Key tips to remember:

  • Remember to download BOTH Zwift apps - the main orange Zwift App AND blue Zwift Companion app. The blue Companion App must be open on your phone if you are using bluetooth to connect your trainer to Zwift,

  • You can broadcast your heart rate via bluetooth to Zwift using your Garmin watch. You must scroll to the wrist heart rate sensor setting and turn on the option to BROADCAST heart rate. This will drain the battery on your device and tends to disconnect at times so the better option for long term pain cave set up is do have a dedicated strap heart rate monitor with a chest strap; that is also going to be more accurate.

  • If you run into any snags with ANT or Bluetooth connections, it might be helpful to purchase an additional ANT key. For me, that is what helped with the connectivity issues from the H3 to Zwift.

Thank you @zbikewear for providing today’s kit & @quadlockcase for providing bike/run case that is insanely easy to install & use 😙

Regardless of the circumstances, just #keepriding 🚲
