Cadexa Gear Compatibility

Does your trainer work with Cadexa?

Three honest layers for every function: what the manufacturer declares, what should work on paper, and what the Cadexa team has verified with the app on real hardware. Protocol support alone is never shown as verified.

Pick a trainer to see its compatibility with the Cadexa app.

Results separate what the manufacturer declares, what should work technically, and what the Cadexa team has verified on real hardware.

How to read the result

Verified compatible: Tested by the Cadexa team with a stated app version and firmware. Evidence is shown.
Partially compatible: Works with a known limitation, which is stated.
Not compatible: Either verified not to work, or the trainer lacks the protocol the app relies on.
Not yet tested: Nothing verified. Layer 2 tells you whether it is expected to work.

What the app uses

Bluetooth FTMS for trainer control: target power (ERG) and indoor bike simulation (gradient, rolling and wind resistance).
Bluetooth Cycling Power Service as a read-only fallback for power and cadence.
Bluetooth Heart Rate Service for any strap or watch broadcast.
No virtual 3D world or avatars. Routes are ridden as gradient, with the road profile on screen.
Bluetooth only: the app does not use ANT+.
Available for iPhone. No Android release has been published.
