Does your 820 work with your Tacx Bushido?

Mine does not and I'm hoping to get some guidance from someone who has this working. I connect get it to connect and so I cannot adjust the power settings, which renders the trainer useless.

The Tacx will connect to my phone just fine and allow me to do calibration.
The Tacx works fine with Zwift via apple TV (though I've cancelled my subscription because I'm not finding it good value since the price increase last year)
The 820 picks up my wahoo cadence sensor and my wahoo speed sensor no problem.

So they are both communicating great with other devices - just not each other

Any bright ideas?

Thank you

I don't know about the Tacx trainers specifically. What I notice in your post is that the trainer connects with your phone and apple TV, which is almost certainly via Bluetooth. The 820 communicates to trainers and sensors via ANT+ and successfully connects to your speed and cadence sensors. This suggests the issue is with ANT+ . Here's the ANT+ pairing procedure for the 820:

This is great - thank you. That gives me a direction to go in. The 820 is talking to my ANT+ HR monitor, so hopefully it's just a bit of user error rather than a fault. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
