How to connect both a Foot Pod and a Smart Treadmill

This configuration allows RunCline to get all running metrics from the foot pod and only the incline from the treadmill. This is especially useful if you trust your foot pod more than your treadmill regarding your running speed.

  1. Close Zwift or any other Bluetooth app that may interfere with your foot pod.
  2. Start your treadmill and make it run at any speed.
  3. Start RunCline
  4. Select Foot Pod and select your foot pod in the list of detected devices in range. Return to the Pairing Screen. Select Smart TM and select your treadmill in the list of detected devices in range. Return to the Pairing Screen. These steps are required only once. Next time, RunCline will remember both of your devices.
  5. Click the Start button at the bottom of the screen when it appears.
  6. Start Zwift and pair with RunCline. It may appear as RunCline, Stryd or the name of the device running RunCline depending on which platform you are running Zwift.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Warning

Don't go around back and forth in the Pairing menus or go from the Running Screen back to the Pairing Screen. This confuses RunCline and you may get a bad pairing. If you experience any issue, kill the RunCline app (and Zwift) and restart the pairing procedure but omit the device selection. RunCline will remember your previous device selection and will automatically pair with it. The Start button will also appear by itself once the devices have been detected.

• Treadmill issues

- My treadmill is not detected

There are a couple reasons why a treadmill would not be detected. See the different causes below:

  1. Make sure the treadmill is powered and started (Running at any speed) BEFORE starting RunCline.
  2. Make sure there is no other Bluetooth app that may be paired with the treadmill.
  3. Your treadmill may not be supported. See below.

- My treadmill is not supported

Is your treadmill Bluetooth compatible? This is the most important question. Normally, treadmills that are Bluetooth compatible will have a compatible app that you can download to see your running stats or control the treadmill. If this is the case, you can follow the procedure below and inform the developer about your treadmill. It may be possible to make RunCline compatible with it.

Many treadmills use different kinds of Bluetooth protocols. Some will use the more common Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) or the Running Speed&Cadence which are already compatible with Zwift but some others will use a proprietary protocol that makes the treadmill only compatible with its own app. Luckily for you, it is often possible to decode these protocols and add them to RunCline.

  1. Install the LightBlue Explorer app on your phone.
  2. Select your treadmill.
  3. Take multiple screenshots of all the listed Bluetooth services and send them to me on Messenger, by email or even on the Zwift Running FB page.
