[Jimmy Welch]

Evening ,
Just gone over to the dark side and got myself a layzene speed sensor tried to sync to Zwift via Bluetooth , nothing , this is on my Android phone all updated and recent software update etc , before sending back to wiggle anyone got a hack for this problem

Daft question but have you made sure there isn't a plastic insulator under the battery to stop it discharging during shipping?

I got another brand of speed and cadence sensors delivered today where I had to remove such a thing from each.

Could it be connected to another app? In fact, you may find that actually having it added as a Bluetooth device causes issues. You can always try removing it in your Bluetooth settings and then searching in Zwift directly.

Tried that I got a list of instructions from Zwift that were incomprehensible and wiggle just passed to book to Zwift

What are you running zwift on, your phone of computer ?

 

[Jimmy Welch]

My phone Nokia 5 Android 11 64gb

Do the Zwift instructions ask you to connect to the unit using the phones Bluetooth first, or does it want to connect through its software ?

 

[fossyant]

My Zwift app wants to pair from the app on my phone, so forget the device in phone settings

 

[fossyant]

Also make sure bluetooth location is turned on in the phone settings.

Settings, location, app settings, scroll to zwift, allow when using app

Both the Bluetooth and the other logo (can't remember it's name) both start flashing on the set up page

Thats right then click search. Ant+ is the other. My phone supports that.

 

[fossyant]

Try this.

Under the phone settings and Bluetooth click forget on the sensor.

Then start zwift and connect that way using its settings.

On and make sure the sensor is in discovery mode, you did do that when trying to connect in zwift
