Can we maybe try to put together a FAQ here, listing the steps for using MyWhoosh with TrainerRoad simultaneously on a PC, and maybe on other devices? I’ve been using TrainerRoad and Zwift simultaneously for a few seasons by using two Ant+ dongles and letting TrainerRoad control resistance, while Zwift is paired with everything else. I’m bored with Zwift and don’t plan on renewing given the recently announced price increase. I think I can set up MyWhosh with TrainerRoad, but it seems more complicated because MyWhoosh doesn’t run in a window, etc. It could be really helpful to maybe put together a FAQ/tutorial with step-by-step instructions, because it seems a lot of folks here are also looking to dump Zwift.
Top center one appears to be the “Power” connection, while the bottom left appears to be “Control” which is similar to Z. I’d expect that using the “Tap to Disconnect” option on the bottom-left one will leave the trainer uncontrolled in MW, so you can use TR (or any other app/device) to control the trainer.
I am using both at the same time.
The trainer is connected to Trainerroad, assioma power pedals are connected to MyWhoosh. It avoids any connection losses during training.
On Windows PC with Ant+ it connects exactly the same as ZWIFT.
The only thing i found is you need to connect your trainer to TR first or MW takes the ANT+ connection and it wont connect in TR
I found this strange as i have 2 ANT+ dongles so have 2 channels but i think that maybe one is switched off on my pc and i’m too lazy to go into the bios to check it
So first start TR and make sure its connected and then open MW and make sure Controllable is disconnected - It should work then.
MW will also connect via BT if your trainer has it which also seems to work fine but always make sure the controllable connection is off
Does this still works with MyWoosh 3.8.3?
I have connected TrainerRoad to my smart trainer through an ANT+ dongle. After connecting TR, I connect MyWoosh through bluetooth and unselect Controllable. But MyWoosh still seems to interfere with the ERG-mode in TR. Without MW, ERG-mode works perfectly in TR.
I run TR on my phone on my handlebars and MyWhoosh or Zwift on my iPad or laptop.

Another easy way to use MyWhoosh with Trainerroad is to set the MyWhoosh sync to Strava. If the Trainerroad is also synced with Strava, the ride will then automatically appear in the Trainerroad too. No need to play with multiple devices and connections.
However, I always double record the ride with my old Garmin too, as a backup, just like I have done when riding with the Trainerroad. Just in case.
