Check the troubleshooting guide here.
The app connects to your Controller devices (such as Zwift ones) automatically. It does not connect to your trainer itself.
- Android: BikeControl uses the AccessibilityService API to simulate touch gestures on specific parts of your screen to trigger actions in training apps. The service monitors which training app window is currently active to ensure gestures are sent to the correct app.
- iOS: use BikeControl as a "remote control" for other devices, such as an iPad. Example scenario:
- your phone (Android/iOS) runs BikeControl and connects to your Controller devices
- your iPad or other tablet runs e.g. MyWhoosh (does not need to have BikeControl installed)
- If you want to use MyWhoosh, you can use the Link method to connect to MyWhoosh directly
- For other trainer apps, you need to pair BikeControl to your iPad / tablet via Bluetooth, and your phone will send the button presses to your iPad / tablet
- macOS / Windows A keyboard or mouse click is used to trigger the action.
- There are predefined Keymaps for MyWhoosh, indieVelo / Training Peaks, and others
- You can also create your own Keymaps for any other app
- You can also use the mouse to click on a certain part of the screen, or use keyboard shortcuts
- qdomyos-zwift directly controls the trainer (as opposed to controlling the trainer app). This can be useful if your trainer app does not support virtual shifting.
