Is your device compatible?

Trainetic doesn't depend on any brand: it reads the Bluetooth standards that manufacturers use. Check your device's spec sheet or box.

It must speak Bluetooth. You'll see it written as "Bluetooth", "Bluetooth Smart" or "BLE". Many devices speak both Bluetooth and ANT+: they work.

ANT+ alone isn't enough. Some older sensors only speak ANT+: Trainetic can't read them.

To control a smart trainer or a treadmill, you need FTMS. It's the Bluetooth standard that lets an app set the resistance, power, speed or incline. Without it, Trainetic reads your data but doesn't control anything.

On phone and tablet, use the app. Android or iPhone: the app is what connects to your sensors.

On a computer, open Trainetic in Chrome or Edge. Windows, Mac or Chromebook: these two browsers can connect over Bluetooth. Safari and Firefox can't.

The devices, and what Trainetic does with them

Examples of brands with models that transmit over Bluetooth.

Device	What Trainetic does with it	Example brands
Heart rate strap or armband	Your heart rate live during the session, recorded with it; your targets in beats per minute when your plan includes them	Garmin (HRM-Dual, HRM-Pro), Polar (H10, H9, Verity Sense), Wahoo (TICKR), COROS
Bike speed and cadence sensor	Your cadence and speed live, on the road and indoors	Garmin, Wahoo (RPM)

Foot pod	Your running cadence live	Stryd, Polar (Stride), Zwift (RunPod)
Smart trainer	Power, cadence and speed live; with FTMS, Trainetic sets the resistance or power (ERG mode) for each block of your session	Elite, Jetblack, Saris, Tacx, Wahoo (KICKR), Zwift (Hub)
Smart indoor bike and gym bike	The same data; control too, if the bike supports FTMS	Stages (SB20), Tacx (NEO Bike), Wahoo (KICKR BIKE), Wattbike

Garmin watch	Your sessions go to your Garmin Connect™ calendar, your activities come back to Trainetic	Garmin, via Garmin Connect™

Compatibility depends on the model and its version: check that your device transmits over Bluetooth (and FTMS for control). The brands mentioned belong to their owners; Trainetic is neither affiliated with nor a partner of these brands.

Connect your device in three steps

Just once: Trainetic remembers it for your next sessions.

You pair it

In your account, "Connected apps and devices", then "Add a device". Turn it on or put on your strap: it appears, you tap it.

You start your session

Trainetic connects your devices at the start. On a computer, you click "Connect" for each one before you begin.

You ride or you run

Your heart rate, watts, cadence or speed show up live, and everything is recorded with your session.

What doesn't connect

Sensors that only speak ANT+, and devices whose manufacturer keeps the data for its own app. On a computer, Safari and Firefox can't connect over Bluetooth: open Trainetic in Chrome or Edge.

What your devices change in your training

Targets you can follow. When your plan includes them, easy blocks are paced by heart rate with a strap, and by watts with a power meter or a smart trainer.

A smart trainer that follows your session. In ERG mode, it sets the power for each block: you pedal, it does the rest.

A treadmill that changes pace on its own. Speed and incline are set for each block of your treadmill session.

Indoor sessions when it rains. Your plan carries on with your smart trainer, your indoor bike or your treadmill, with the same guidelines.

An accurate review. What your devices measure is recorded and counts toward your progress.

Questions about compatible devices

My device isn't on the list: is it compatible?

Probably, if it transmits over Bluetooth: Trainetic reads standards, not brands. To control a smart trainer or a treadmill, it also needs FTMS.

My sensor uses ANT+: does it work?

Only if it also speaks Bluetooth, which is the case for most recent sensors. A sensor that is ANT+ only won't connect.

Do I need the app or a computer?

Either one: the app on Android and iPhone, or Trainetic in Chrome or Edge on a Windows computer or tablet. Not Safari or Firefox.

Can Trainetic control my smart trainer?

Yes, if it supports FTMS: in ERG mode with your FTP, or by setting the resistance yourself with the + and − buttons.

Do I need a device to use Trainetic?

No. Your phone is enough: a voice announces each block of your session. Devices add live data.

Can I use my Garmin watch?

Yes, through Garmin Connect™: your sessions go to your watch and your activities come back to Trainetic for analysis.
