TSS on the App Store
You choose your preferred Speed Input:
1 - Select the speed your treadmill is moving on the app and this is transmitted via bluetooth to your receiver.
- Send the Gradient information to ZWIFT
2 - Attach the iPhone security to yourself and run. The iPhone's motion sensor will estimate your speed and transmit this to your bluetooth receiver.
****** iPhone 5S and above. *****
******THIS OPTION WILL BE DISCONTINUED IN FUTURE VERSIONS, PLEASE RELY ON TREADMILL MODE OR WATCH MODE
3 - Use your phone in combination with your Apple Watch. The Watch will send Speed, Cadence and Heart Rate via your phone and transmit these to your bluetooth receiver. (Watch workouts can be saved as part of your daily activity rings)
Notes:
• TSS Watch Module - requires an Apple Watch to calculate Heart Rate, Cadence and Speed data.
• TSS Watch Module integrates with the Health App on your iPhone to contribute to your Activity Rings. It will request permission to access the relevant data types associated with a workout.
