I recently bought an Elite Direto to use with Zwift. I successfully used it about four times. On the fifth time, around mile 30, a heard a noise in the trainer and ever since then I can use Zwift but the trainer does not vary the resistance. I was using Bluetooth to connect my phone to the trainer and my phone would use the house wireless to connect to my PC. After sending Elite a video of my trainer with the panel off, they believe the motor is working properly.
I have since learned there are some issues with using bluetooth with the Direto and Zwift.
So, I bought a Garmin ant+ usb and a long usb extension cable. When I use the ant, Zwift can see the ant but it never connects to my trainer. Supposedly using ant will help with the resistance issue.
Is there something I'm doing wrong that the ant can't find my Elite Direto?
I've emails Zwift and Elite and the responses are slow so I'm trying to ask around for solutions. Is it possible to use Zwift just using an ant dongle and no phone?
