It should find the treadmill, so select it and hit Ok. Click on that and then have it search for the Horizon treadmill. Then the Zwift app has the “Run Speed Tap to Pair” button. Very important: make sure you allow the Zwift app access to your devices location. Ok now that the bluetooth is enabled BUT NOT connected to the treadmill, you should open the Zwift app. If you did hook up to the treadmill through the bluetooth settings app, then use the bluetooth app to disconnect/forget the treadmill. Also don’t actually connect to the treadmill using the bluetooth settings app. Make sure the bluetooth is enabled before opening the Zwift app. Now that the treadmill is on, it is time to turn your device’s bluetooth on. Don’t select any user: leave the treadmill on this “user selection” screen without selecting a user. Moving the selection dial will cycle through the users. It will boot up and then present you with the select user screen on the treadmill. The first thing to do before using the Zwift app is turn on the Horizon treadmill. Search “horizon software update” in google to find the page for instructions on how to do that. I’m not sure if this is needed for Zwift or not because I did the firmware upgrade before trying Zwift (I had to do the firmware upgrade to get the treadmill to work with the running app that Horizon recommends). So I had to install the newest version of the firmware. It can be kind of confusing and so hopefully this post will help you get it set up.įirst of all, my Horizon treadmill came from the factory with the old firmware installed on it. ![]() I got the Horizon 7.0 AT - 03 to work with Zwift. Weird, but not a big deal.īTW, you can verify if you have the 7.8AT-02 model with the advanced BT required to sync w/ Zwift by looking at the label near the power cord. ![]() When I set my treadmill to 3.6 mph Zwift app always shows 3.5 mph. I haven’t used it enough to know if that is a specific pattern that I’m going to have to follow or if it is just a bit flaky when first connecting.īut once it is synced it stayed synced through an entire 60+ min run and responded to speed changes as expected with one minor mysterious exception in that Zwift always jumps from 3.5 to 3.7 mph. Both times, I connected using my iPhone, started a run with the treadmill, it synced and the speed worked, and both times I quit the run on my iPhone and tried my Macbook again and the speed worked the second time I tried and every other time after that. But both times I tried to use the app on my Macbook right after the treadmill powered up, it failed to send speed to the app the first time I tried. It does seem to be slightly inconsistent in whether it sends the speed to the Zwift app. Just got my Horizon 7.8AT-02 today, and have been successful in getting it synced with Zwift. Has anyone tried connecting using the companion app as a bridge?ĭo any of you happen to know what version of you 7 series treadmill you have? I see this on Horizon’s site which is curious, “** Enhanced BT connectivity is only available on the new 7.0-03, 7.4-02 and 7.8-02 models sold after August 31st, 2020.” I would love to see a post from ANYONE who has had success with a 7.x AT and Zwift. ![]() (I am guessing there is a good chance I will just be purchasing a RUNN in the near future.) I just ordered a 7.8AT and, if I can escape all of the tragic results I see from other customers and get it to work at all, I will report back about Zwift success/ failure. Zwift support, on the other had, tells me that if the machines are not on the supported list not to count on success (although in another place on Zwift, I notice language indicating that Zwift is trying to stay up to date with its list, but to defer to manufacturer’s claims when it comes to compatibility). I specifically asked if I will be able to see speed and cadence on Zwift and the tech said yes. They assured me that their machines work with Zwift. I mentioned the conversations here and the complete lack of success. I contacted Horizon about this issue because the 7.x look like good machines with some interesting features (setting aside the alarming customer complaints sprinkled across various internet locations).
