[Closed] RGT App giving no resistance up hill

Hope some one can help.

I’ve downloaded both apps on 2 devices and everything came up fine.
It found my trainer a Tacx flow smart.
When I peddle the aviator moves fine cadence works.
But
Other than the speed changing, faster down hill slower uphill, on the screen the resistance stays the same up or down.

Any ideas collective?

I had this - when I clicked on the bit to select the power again the turbo showed up as several different things. Tried a different one and that worked..

I had the exact same issue on a Tacx Genius (which I think is the same basic trainer), it connecting as a power meter.

If you go back to the pairing screen make sure it's connected as a smart trainer.

Is annoying as with Zwift previously the Genius just worked.

Have you got your slope setting at 100%?

Make sure it’s connected in the slope tab on the app and that it’s set to anything above 0%. 100% is a brutal though, there’s a lot of steep hill on RGT

A couple or so versions ago there was a bug in RGT that manifested like this, but it got fixed in the July update.

Are you using Ant+ or Bluetooth? I think the comms path for Bluetooth is simpler (trainer to phone) than Ant+ (trainer to PC screen app to RGT server to phone). Their servers are probably under more load than usual. That said I've been using Ant+ fine today.

All sorted thanks frogstomp and boombang.
Pairs ok but the same thing happened so I unplugged the trainer and plugged in again and a 2nd trainer came up in the power section and I disconnected In the app and connected to the trainer that said turbo and not power.
The choice did not come up until I turned the trainer off and on again.
