Apps for smart trainer

Trainer Calibration

  • There’s no built in calibration in the app. While it’s not difficult to implement, given that a lot of trainers don’t follow the specs to dot, this is better left to the official app. (Besides, on my own trainer, I hardly if ever do calibration. I live in a hot country if that matters)
  1. Accuracy/robustness/depth
  • I’m not entirely sure what you mean. BreakAway, like other apps will get the data as it’s output by the trainer/powermeter/sensors. Every second, it updates into the screen and writes to the FIT file
  1. intervals.icu integration

If you do edits within BreakAway, some changes (name / RPE / Desc / Feel) gets sync’ed back to Garmin & Strava as well. So 1 edit will populate to 3 sites.

You mentioned you don’t have a Bike computer, Next release will add outdoor workout support for BreakAway.

Saris M2 - TBH, I have no idea. YOu’ve got to test it out. Since BreakAway don’t require login/signups, I really don’t have consolidated data on these sort of things.

Help/Support - The website is the only available online presence currently. I’m actively here and there’s loads of threads on specific features here

FreeRide in Resistance Mode - Unfortunately for FreeRide, you have to KILL the app each time to get it to Reset back to FreeRide. So eg: Start App, sensors gets connected automatically, swipe the START button UP, switch to RESIST, it will default to 2% IIRC then press start. Change the Resistance/Slope using +/- buttons.

BreakAway also supports Slope Based Structured workouts, so it’s hands free. ERG → RESIST or even HR, is all supported.
