Giant Power PRO powermeter data fields

emimad over 5 years ago

Hi!

I've got a Giant Power PRO powermeter since 1 year ago.

In my Edge 820 I can see some data as power, balance and cadence.

Otherwise, in the Giant app RideLink I can see Effectiveness and Smootness too.

So, why doesn't my 820 show that data?

Data fields for Effectiveness and Smoothness are available on the 820. Have you added those to one of your data screens? They work well with my Assioma power pedals.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, if I put that fields in the screen, I only see empy fields.

The data doens't appear in Garmin Connect neither so the problem is 820 doesn't capture effectiveness and smoothness from Giant Power PRO.

Or the power meter is not sending it over ANT. Do they claim they do send it over ANT?

Yes, that's a possibility but it's difficult to get support from Giant for this question.

This is the reason why I'm looking for someone with this powermeter and the new series Edge 530/830.

When connected to the power meter go into the sensor details for it and see if there is a toggle switch to switch TE/PS on.

I'm not sure a 530 or 830 will solve your issue. The 820 works correctly in this respect with most all dual sided power meters. If there's a problem, I suspect it's with the power meter. If it was mine, I'd try to resolve that first.

Not exactly. A friend had 520 with Assioma Duo that worked fine (power, balance, cadence...).

Few weeks ago, He bought a 530 and now He has a lot of additional information (smoothness, effectiveness, standing up time, an so on).

Yes, it's activated.

I get all those data fields with my Assioma Duo pedals and the 820. My 820 shows all data fields that are supported by the Assioma Pedals.

Watch GPLama's review at around 3:50 to 4:10.

The power meter does not support TE/PS over ANT+, only over its own BLE protocol
