KICKR Bike buttons control Headwind fan

SYSTM Software

Be great if the Headwind fan could be controlled using the unused right hood buttons of the KICKR Bike.

Alternatively from inside the SYSTM and RGT apps.

Also showing KICKR Bike gear selection in apps.

Integration with software would be great but it would be nice if they just provided a separate remote to control the Headwind - even cheap fans have them.

Your phone can control the fan so…

Hi Glen. Using the phone is how I currently control the fan. There are a few shortcomings…each time the wahoo app minimizes and restarts, there is a long delay to reconnect Bluetooth to the fan. It’s faster than it used to be, but it’d be ideal to have continuous connection via System. Also, the slider for speed control is much more sensitive on a phone than on a,say, large iPad (where systm resides for me) and is hard to dial in the correct speed when the surroundings are frigid . I requested that wahoo implement better resolution for the sliders and buttons that control the fan, I hope it happens!

Ahh. Understood. I’ve just got mine set to HR and forget about it.

HR is also my fave control setup for the Headwind. I put on my heart monitor and the fan turns itself on. The harder I ride, the faster the fan goes. When I’m done, the fan turns itself off when I remove the heart monitor. The only challenge has been windburn a few times.

I don’t have a headwind, but I turn on my fans full blast from the start and never need to adjust. But maybe that’s because of my climate. Also put on chapstick before every ride, as well.

Oddly I seem to have lost the ability to control the HW fan via the phone or via the Roam V1 - the page on the Roam has disappeared (I was promoted to update the FW last week…).

The HW is still paired to both the wahoo app and Roam though!

Any clues as to how to restore remote control? (It’s in HR mode so it’s not a complete disaster!)
