MyWhoosh Inclination resistance not working

[allaprimaben]

Sorry if this has been solved and I couldn’t find it. I’m using a cycleops Magnus/Saris H2 (renamed) connected to some rollers to get semi-smart rollers. I am reading power with a PES power meter as the H2 can’t read accurately with this strange setup. So I need QZ to act as bridge reading power from the PM and controlling resistance with the Saris unit, like Zwift, where I can set the power source and controllable trainer as separate connections. However, when connected and riding in MyWhoosh (QZ as power source and cadence and controllable), incline resistance isn’t active. QZ reads the incline number, but is not changing the resistance of the Saris unit. I have the power meter selected and enabled in the qz accessories, and it displays that it has found the Magnus/Saris unit. Virtual shifting works, and so I can change the resistance that way, but inclination has no effect. Hopefully missing something simple…

Hi @allaprimaben! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the qdomyos-zwift team.

A few things to check: QZ needs the right settings for automatic resistance changes based on incline. Try adjusting the cog and chain ring size and gear offset in QZ, as these can affect resistance control, especially with virtual shifting setups. Also, make sure the FTMS bike setting matches your use case—if it's disabled, the virtual gear table under bike options → Wahoo options is used for resistance control, which may impact how incline is handled source.

For some setups, resistance stays at minimum unless you first do a free ride while changing inclination, which lets QZ collect data to control resistance properly during workouts or structured rides source.

Finally, check QZ's resistance settings: Zwift Resistance Offset and Zwift Resistance Gain should be set appropriately, and Zwift Workout/Erg Mode should be turned off for automatic resistance to work with virtual rides source.

If you’ve already tried these, let me know your QZ settings and firmware versions—there might be something more specific to tweak.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@allaprimaben Could you please share a debug log? https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/wiki/How-do-i-get-the-debug-log-in-case-something-doesn't-work%3F

No worries, @dosu suggestions were successful. I deleted and downloaded the app again just to clean slate, went through the wizard setup again, turned on power meter in accessories, checked everything was connected, started a ride with a climb in myWhoosh (100% gradient setting), thought I could barely detect some resistance change, then went into settings, selected the magnus under the FTMS bike setting, changed offset and gain by one number up, reconnected to myWhoosh and continued the ride—resistance came on noticeably right away. Now I can fine tune if needed. Thanks for the help—and without QZ there is no way my hybrid ‘smart roller’ could ever work! I can still try to create a debug log if you want that information, but problem seems solved.

Glad it worked! please remember to rate the app if you like it, it means a lot to me thanks Il giorno sab 23 ago 2025 alle 21:42 allaprimaben ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Done…5 stars of course… Just one more question, and the bot was great, if I want to use my setup to do an erg workout on myWhoosh or Zwift, I need to make sure the Zwift workout/erg mode is turned on, correct? Zwift is hopeless at doing this by the way, so I need to try QZ as the bridge. Thanks again Roberto!

Yes!
