Edge 1030 and Shimano Steps-E8000

Starting from firmware 6.00 there should be a new feature: "New Feature: Added Shimano STEPS sensor support.". I have a Scott Genius eRide 900 Tuned, equipped with a Shimano Steps-E8000 motor and XT Di2 system, I have tried to connect to my Edge 1030. Actually the only ANT device that the Edge can find is a "Di2" device, not the Steps motor. Out of all the possible metrics I could get (speed, cadence, gear, motor battery, power, assistance level, etc.) the only one I get is "Di2 battery", that actually is the motor battery (as in my case the Di2 is powered by the motor battery). I was expecting much more, for example the Steps motor to be recognized as an eBike, in addition cadence and speed should be transmitted to the Edge

Anyone experiencing the same?

When can we expect to have full support of the Shimano Steps-E8000 motor?

    Today I received my new eBike with Steps E8000 and the new E7000 Display.
    It's compatible with my Edge 1030 so I directly checked it out.
    Connecting and displaying it is not an problem at all, "plug" and play.
    But after a short testride I realized that none of the eBike information is stored in the fit file.
    It would be nice to have the information about assist mode, assist level (Percent) and battery in the offline analysis.
    So right now the connection is not much more than a second display, pretty useless if you don't have the intention to remove the original display.
    Also pretty strange that the Garmin Edge has an eBike mode, but can't classify a ride as "eBike ride" in Garmin Connect.

    I hope Garmin will add these features sometime in the future.

    PS: For measuring my "human power" I attached my Stages crank to the bike. This is my interims solution until hopefully Shimano and Garmin will also transfer the human power information via ANT+ including writing it to the fit file. Hope dies last.

    Any hope to see “human” power transferred to the Edge 1030..?

    Hi @sasse1982 ,  did you really fit a Stages power meter crank to a shimano ebike motor?

    If so, could you tell which exact stages model it was?

    I contacted stages support to ask them for compatibility with shimano steps and they didn´t know.

    Thank you.
