Thanks to FeltRider and a couple of other sources, I finally got my setup working! Very glad to eliminate the 40 watt mis-match between my Power2Max power meter and my KICKR. FYI, here are the general steps. This is mostly outlined in the cycling addiction blog post, but a couple of details were missing.
- The Wahoo Fitness iOS v5.5.0 app was released on March 9, but the KICKR public firmware is not out yet. Both are needed to enable this feature. However, you can load the beta firmware now and get it working while we wait for the public firmware release. These are the general steps I followed.
- Use iOS Wahoo Utility, select KICKR
- Use the "secret swipe" to display the beta firmware (quickly swipe from lightening bolt icon to happy face icon, quickly lift finger, then quickly swipe from happy face icon to lightening bolt icon. Swipe instruction video: http://ppst.co/1huMRbL )
- Select and load firmware version 1.3.26
- After firmware update completes, Unplug and replug power to the KICKR
- Next go to the Wahoo Fitness App
- Select sensors, KICKR
- Enable "Control with ANT+ Power Meter" option
- Enter the ANT+ id of your power meter (4- or 5-digit number printed on the power meter, or get it via PC/Mac using ANT+ dongle and the Trainer Road "Devices" screen.)
KICKR will now read the ANT+ Power Meter and use it to measure power output (instead of the frequently flawed internal resistance calculation that can be 20-40 watts off on some KICKRs.) Hope this helps everyone with KICKRs that inaccurately calculate power (like mine. . .)
I've followed these steps both yesterday and today. Re-installed the v5.5.0 app twice. Still getting the red dot.
PM is recording via my Garmin.
Wattage is still off.
Witn my SRM... I have to spin the cranks a bunch of times till the ICON turns green. Does the ICON just stay red??
