Apple watchOS10 (or newer) - connecting K2pi/K2pi proM as sensor for Power & Cadence.

Due to new EU/Northern Ireland rules 'GPSR' 13/12/24 I cannot deliver to these countries after that date.

SETTING IT UP:

Pairing a power meter with the Apple Watch is silly easy. Start up your K2pi converter and start pedalling on your keiser bike and keep pedalling until it’s complete. On the Apple Watch , you’ll go into the Bluetooth menu on the watch (Settings icon > Bluetooth), and then you’ll see ‘Health devices’ listed. Obviously, as the setting implies, it only supports Bluetooth power meters. (Like your K2pi or K2pi Pro/m). You can save multiple power meters here, alongside heart rate sensors and cadence/speed sensors from other devices you may own too

It’s important to now add the power meter data fields to your cycling sport profiles. By default, these won’t be there when you start your indoor ride. While it will record the data to the file regardless, if you don’t add these to your watch bike profiles, you won’t see the power during the ride.

Simply go into the ‘Workout’ app, then next to both Outdoor Cycle and Indoor Cycle, choose the “…” to get to more settings, then choose ‘Preferences’, and then choose ‘Indoor Cycle Workout Views’. Scroll down a bunch and toggle the ‘Power’ option, and then ‘Power Zones’ below that, if you want that.

If you get it to work - post a comment here - https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0seHrEq82weYvRVfW7cAyCxTv8mqx4yKzKbpBPuh8eEqcDbAden4wfPqmJkNp6pWWl&id=100063985427100&eav=AfYk6IAxD1gdEibVEFRsWso8irxcLvXci_Bq6HriPbwaR6JEAQ5KfMTUBjPTwtpkqgw&paipv=0

New Bluetooth Cycling Sensor support in watchOS10:

Apple have added cadence sensors, and power meter support (Bluetooth), natively into the Workouts app. This will record the data to Apple Health at the rate of the sensor (e.g., 1-second). Additionally, this live sensor data is now accessible to other 3rd party apps via API, so apps don’t have to write their own sensor connectivity if they don’t want to. For example, Strava could expand their HR sensor support to power/cadence/super easily by leveraging Apple’s native support for it now.

It will write cadence data from the power meter stream of K2pi converter.

Will estimate cycling power FTP: When using a power meter sensor and heart rate from the watch. Additionally, % of FTP can be used within the structured workouts and data fields as noted down below.

Will automatically determine cycling power zones: This also requires a power meter (such as K2pi) and HR from your watch. These zones are customizable and specific to power, both in the ranges of each zone, but also the number of zones you use.
