I have power dropouts on elite direto trainer. Speed and cadence are ok. If I train with elites own software with bluetooth no dropouts. Heres the link one of my trainings https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3188852327 edit. no beta testing.
I tried to replicate. I did a couple 5 minute rides and then I did this 10 minute ride and don't have any disconnects. At about 1:35 I paused and started the ride, but that gives a 'hard cut-off'. The last minute I began stopping my cadence and starting again, varying the gaps from 1 to 3 seconds, but it never sent the power to 0 (perhaps it is a few seconds smoothing). However, when I compare my graph to yours, it doesn't look the same, so that isn't the cause. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3227144621
I did try disconnecting my phone and reconnecting, as well as enabling the remote (which hardly worked) - but this did not have any effect on power reading. I was connected by ANT+ and started the ride under Training - set power. I also tried a 5 minute ride as 'indoor' which did not allow me to change the power curve, but I don't think it disconnected during the 3 minutes. I was running Power, Speed, Cadence from Direto using ANT+, and also connected a Wahoo heart rate with ANT+
1. Did you happen to have the direto MyEtraining app open on your phone? (This did not cause issues for me). 2. I'm curious, did you use ANT+ ? (If you paired as trainer I think it defaults this way) 3. Or did you happen to pair it as a Bluetooth sensor and just start an indoor ride using that connection? (I did not try this).
1. E-training is sometimes open , not always. No effect on dropouts 2. I use ant+ and wahoo tick hr belt via ant+ 3. On bt you have speed and cadence not power, I think. Edit. Did some testing today. If I only paired edge1030 as a ant+fe-c trainer dropouts are there. Today I paired direto cadence/speed and power sensor also (ant+). Dropouts are gone. If I disconnect pairing ant+fe-c trainer sensor xert "whats my ftp" datafield does not work. So working combo is if you want use xerts datafield speed/cadence, power, and ant+fe-c trainer I´m on latest beta. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3228073722 Did those tweaks after 30min. of training session so first 30min. dropouts are there.
Jone88 did you get a solution to this? I'm getting the same issue.
My set up is as follows: Workout from TrainingPeaks downloaded via ConnectIQ to my Garmin 520 head unit. This connects to the Direto smart trainer and I have plugged in the Elite Cadence sensor and Garmin also connects to my Wahoo HRM. But in a 1hr 20 min ride I get 15 x 6 second drop outs on power. Cadence and Speed are fine.

See post 13 , edited section. Works almost perfect now. 95min. training I got 2 few seconds dropouts yesterday. Solution is to pair it ant ant+fe-c trainer and direto powermeter by ant.
Jone88 - thanks for the reply. I'm still a little unclear with what you are connecting with what. I'm just using a Garmin 520 head unit paired with Direto. So am I able to change how it connects to the trainer? Or is your set up different?

Yep, that's it now. Thanks! Had to forget the Direto as a "Smart Trainer", added it back in and then also connected to the Direto's Power meter too. All dropouts have stopped.
