Why so much zero power on swift ride

Training
1

Apologies for what might be a naive question. I did not include it in bugs because I don’t think my question relates to a software bug - just personal ignorance.

I am new to this platform.

I have a wahoo indoor training bike and use zwift. When I ride a structured workout. For example 2 x15 min FTP intervals of continuous peddling there are a LOT of zero power intervals appearing on intervals. I record the workout on my Garmin watch and it imports to Intervals. I suspect this is just a sampling rate issue and all the calculations are correct. Is there a best recommended way to input data into intervals when using an indoor trainer.
Thank you for all the fascinating analysis. I will be happy to support.

Hi,

I used to have a lot of drop outs in data on bluetooth (reading goes from a certain value down to zero and gets back up almost instantly).

Ever since I moved to ANT+ the problem disappeared.

If you are using bluetooth connection it might be dropping out.

Bluetooth can be affected by home WiFi.

Are you seeing those dropouts on Garmin Connect and/or Zwift to, or only on Intervals.icu?
Did you check if your watch is set to record second by second or is it in ‘smart recording’ mode?
