Tretlager 0.11.1 brings heart rate straps back by themselves after a dropout or a break out of range.

Warning

Not an official Zwift app, use at your own risk. Zwift does not support Linux and has nothing to do with Tretlager. Restrictions up to a suspended account, including your XP and drops, cannot be ruled out. Not for races. The sign-in happens outside the Zwift launcher, which contradicts Zwift's terms of service.

Install

flatpak install --user tretlager-0.11.1-x86_64.flatpak

Installing over 0.10.0 or 0.11.0 keeps your Zwift setup, sign-in and sensors. Close and reopen Tretlager afterwards; the sensor bridge of the new version replaces the running one. Requirements as before: Flatpak with Flathub, BlueZ with a Bluetooth LE adapter, a running avahi-daemon and a Secret Service keyring. The bundle does not update itself.

What's new since 0.11.0

  • Straps come back after a dropout. A Wahoo TICKR or Garmin HRM-Pro Plus that lost its connection (out of range during a break, or the strap ending the connection itself) used to hang until the Bluetooth adapter was unplugged or the computer restarted. The straps switch their own connection to long intervals (TICKR about 1 s, HRM-Pro Plus about 2 s) and Linux starts every new connection with that interval, so finding the strap's services took longer than the bridge waited. The bridge now gives this step up to 90 seconds without holding up the other sensors. In tests the TICKR came back after 40 s, the HRM-Pro Plus after 38 s.
  • If a strap still does not come back, Tretlager says so: unplug and plug in the Bluetooth adapter, or restart the computer. The automatic adapter reset is only used when no connection comes up at all, so it no longer drops the trainer for nothing.
  • Keep screen on during the ride (on by default): the screen does not dim, lock or suspend while Zwift runs, also during a break.
  • A notice when Bluetooth headphones share the adapter with the sensors; audio crowds out the sensors.
  • Help: a new section Heart rate straps explains these quirks of the TICKR and the HRM-Pro Plus, and why straps should not be paired in the system settings.
  • A second sensor bridge no longer runs next to the first one and fights over the sensors.

Known: the Garmin HRM-Pro Plus ends its Bluetooth connection by itself every 7 to 15 minutes on Linux and stays silent for a few minutes; with 0.11.1 it then reconnects without help, but heart rate is missing for that time. The Wahoo TICKR does not do this.
