I’ve used the NPE Cable without issue for several years now.

I can use Chrome on my laptop to cast my laptop screen to my tv now without any cables.
So with an Ant+ stick on my laptop that issue is resolved.
Here is how if anyone interested.

SWEET! Glad you got a solution in place.
Hope you can fully enjoy the trainer now 
Anyone having issues calibrating in the TR app? I can do a full on sprint and I can’t get it close to the MPH requirement
From what I remember, it’s possibly best to calibrate using the Saris app. I am pretty sure TR halted calibration support for the lower Magnus & M2. Not saying they did the same with the Hammer, H2 H3, but it could be worth contacting TR support to see if there is some sort of issue.
Just got my H3… the resistance is really low for things like Zwift, even after calibrating on the Saris App. You literally spin and spin and go nowhere because you are doing like 10-20 watts. Its annoying.
Another issue I have had is that in the Saris app if you set it to 250 watts it “feels” about right. Then in other programs there is less resistance. The Saris app really is not good and the operating system needs a big upgrade in my opinion.
That sounds like something is just plain off. What have you done for trouble shooting at this time? Just a few quick things to check if you haven’t:
- Make sure you have power to the trainer.
- Confirm the trainer is connected to your Z device (blue light = BLE, white light = ANT+).
- Make sure to use the FEC version of the trainer in the Power & Controlled boxes.
- Confirm Trainer Difficulty is somewhere to the right side of the slider.
It’s interesting in the comparison between the Saris app and others. Just seems like there is an issue with app use elsewhere. Have you tried a TR app workout in ERG to see what happens?
Is it also connected to zwift while doing it? When I tried to use the saris app while it was connected to TR i had a similar issue

Might need to shift into a bigger gear.
Power is on… Blue light… In Erg mode for a workout. During the warm-up the resistance is minimal, thus the spinning and “going nowhere.” Once the workout starts the resistance increases and decreases but does feels a lower resistance than in manual mode. I’ll check the trainer difficulty.
Both apps were open. I will try closing one and see if that helps!
-
For clarity, I mentioned TD because you didn’t specify your use case for Z above. In the context of an ERG controlled workout, the TD setting in Zwift does NOT apply.
-
TD only affects pure riding simulation mode within Z. It think it would be good to test both ERG workouts and regular riding, to see what you experience.
- FOR SURE, close the Saris app once you are done with the calibration. It is bad juju to have a smart trainer connected to multiple apps that have the potential to control the trainer. It usually leads to odd results like a tug-o-war or other problems. Ideally, you want only one app with any chance of control for the trainer open.

I’m sorry to see some folks having issues with the new H3s. Mine was fire-and-forget. It just worked right out of the box and I do like the feel of it better than my Kickr so far. Hopefully you guys get sorted!

Same here.
My only complaint is that I wish level 0 in standard mode was less resistance. 220 watts doesn’t even make it to the middle of the cassette in the big ring.
Also, I’ve noticed the issue with too much resistance during the spindown on the TR pc app.

Ok glad it’s not just me. I just finished my second ride on my new H3 and tried a couple of short sections in resistance mode and dang, even like 3/7 is pretty heavy.
Welp…now we know why they were blowing out the H3’s…

This paragraph…yikes.
“We have almost four times as much inventory as a year ago, primarily on our training product,” Fortune told BRAIN on Wednesday. “Business was amazing in '20 and '21, then inventory filled up in all the channels everywhere, domestically and internationally on indoor training products.”

Sadly, I am not entirely surprised by this. I had a look at inventory levels on a couple of our dealer sites last weekend and the numbers (excessive stock on hand) sure looked bad.

“We are like a twin-engine plane when one engine dies … it’s all connected corporately, we can’t separate out the trainer business,” he said.
That’s funny when you consider they deliberately consolidated to a tighter level at the time the sold off PowerTap and pulled everything under the Saris umbrella. Maybe that was more symbolic than concrete, but it seems they made their bed with that intention.

I don’t wanna kick a company when they are down…but 4x the amount of inventory than the previous year, when they were having record or near-record sales???
That is bordering on gross negligence, IMO…
Just…wow.

Indeed. Smells a LOT like the little I picked up from the Peloton side. Rose colored glasses and dollar signs took over for common business sense.
And at the risk of overstepping and slightly off topic, I will also mention now that Kinetic was sold and purchased by Magene. I saw some funny stuff from them via a couple of channels and some background research shows the trainer side of Kinetic changed hands not long ago. I’ve been waiting for more “official” statements from various sources, but I figure this Saris news is at least as good a time to state it.
