Anyone actually controlled smart trainer using 945 and structured workout?

I have structured workouts coming from TrainingPeaks and automatically integrated with my Garmin calendar. What I would like to do is ditch my TrainerRoad account and use my Forerunner 945 to control the smart trainer, in ERG mode, to go through one of my structured workouts. Here is what I have been trying:

Click Bike Indoor
Go to Settings
Click Smart Trainer options
Click Follow Workout

It never has any workouts defined. The watch knows about the TrainingPeaks workout, and I tried creating a workout directly in Garmin Connect, but the Smart Trainer Options can never see the workout.

I also tried connecting the trainer and then just doing the workout like normal. It seemed to be working, but after the first interval it stopped working.

Used it yesterday with a suggested workout and it worked fine along all 16 intervals.

My problem is that I can't get a workout from TrainingPeaks or Garmin Connect to show up. The only thing that shows up is the Suggested Workout.

Maybe this is dumb Question, but are you able to See the workout anywhere Garmin related? I am asking because you say that your watch knows the workouts from trainingpeaks but than you say it does Not Show up

Good question. Yes, I see the workout. When I start a bike indoor, it asks if I want to start the workout. If I click yes and connect the trainer, it seems to work for a short while. If I go into Smart Trainer options | Follow Workout, it does not show up.

Edit: And, nevermind ... my watch locked up this morning. I restarted it and everything is working now. Sorry.
