Request: Perform activities on Beta

Dear Beta users,

The Tacx App team has been working hard for the last couple of months to change the way activities are being processed and uploaded.
We are now directly creating and uploading FIT files, which was needed to improve our app and gives us more room for improvements in the future. This new way of processing is now enabled on Beta, and will go to production next month.

What does this mean to Tacx App users?
It should not cause visible changes!

We would like to ask you to perform activities as you would do normally in Beta, and check if you don't see anything suspicious in your activity upload. If you do, please let us know via this forum post or Beta mail ([email protected]).

The only noticeable (minor) changes for users are the following:
1. Resting calories are added to your activity in Garmin Connect if you have set the following values in your Garmin Connect profile: Gender, birthday, length, weight.
2. If you used a Neo3M for your activity it will be shown in Garmin Connect. Other trainers will follow soon!

Many thanks!

Regards,

Tacx Beta Team

Thanks for your message, we are looking into this issue. Activity processing speeds seems to be back to normal now, but we are still investigating the cause of this.

Regarding your other question, the NEO3M…

About Point 2: will we still see the bike listed under "Gear" or is that value over-written by the trainer type?

Thanks

I did a 32 minute partial ride of one of the new movies, ended it and Saved as normal. I got the "Uploading to Cloud" message but it hasn't appeared in My Activities 50.minutes later. Ride was uploaded at 11:04 British Summer Time. (GMT +1).

Regarding your other question, the NEO3M will be registered as a sensor in your activity.

FWIW I did a short test-ride today of just over 5km and it uploaded OK. I've still not seen an upload of the problem ride, so I guess it got "lost" somwehere. Is there any way to re-process that ride using the files on my Windows 11 PC?

About the new .FIT:

- training stats will TrueUp? mostly "recovery time" seems not to be computed when using for example a Garmin HRM-Dual BUT only when using HRM-PRO/HRM-PRO+ linked to GCM and that's a big issues for users that are monitoring recovery time also for Daily Suggested Workouts AND even worse if you have residual recovery time from previous activity it will reset to 0;

- about sns shown in Connect what about Neobike Plus and HRM used? Garmin hardware - Feature requests - Tacx Mobile App - Garmin Forums
