QZCompanionNordictrackTreadmillCompanion App of QZ for Nordictrack Treadmills & BikesReference: cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift#815QZ-Companion InstallationAuthors: Al Udell and Roberto ViolaUpdated: December 15, 2022QZ and QZ Companion software development: Roberto ViolaQZ on Facebook - the accompanying Youtube video below for a quick overview of this guide.Technical Overview: The QZ Companion app, when installed on yourNordicTrack treadmill or bike, communicates live speed and inclination to the QZ apprunning on another device (e.g. Windows PC or laptop, Android phone ortablet, or iOS iPhone or iPad). QZ then communicates this information toZwift running on a 3rd device (e.g. Windows PC or laptop, Androidphone or tablet, or iOS iPhone or iPad). A 2nd device could be used torun both QZ and Zwift, eliminating the need for a 3rd device, as longas QZ runs in the background while Zwift runs in the foreground.New Feature: QZ Companion now works with QZ to control the incline of your treadmill (auto-incline),and speed as well (auto-speed), or in the case of a bike, it automatically controls incline and resistance.For example, you can choose to have Zwift control yourtreadmill or bike incline as you run or cycle through virtual worlds; choose to have QZ make speed (or resistance) andincline changes as you progress through a Zwift workout, or, you can choose to loada GPX file in QZ and have the treadmill or bike follow the incline recorded in the file.Disclaimer: We have tested this solution on several models of NordicTrack and Pro-Form treadmillsand bikes and many are supported now. We began development on a NordicTrack
