FTMSElliptical

FTMSElliptical connects your Garmin device to a Bluetooth Ble Smart (FTMS) compatible elliptical cross-trainer so you can record trainer metrics with your workout. Highlights * Records FTMS trainer metrics to your activity FIT file (viewable in Garmin Connect under Connect IQ charts/fields) * 6 on-screen fields, each configurable from 20+ metric types * Dynamic Training Profiles: save up to 3 profiles and automatically apply supported trainer settings when you connect (based on your equipment and preferences) * HR-zone highlighting using your Garmin profile zones * Fully localized to all supported languages This is a paid application. Unregistered the app will run for 10 minutes . This should be sufficient for basic compatibility testing and demonstration of data written to Connect For a 14-day free trial see: https://absolutebollockscreations.com/apps/ftms/trial/ For purchase see: https://absolutebollockscreations.com/apps/ftms/purchase/ How to use 1. Install the data field. 2. On your device, open a native activity app such as Elliptical. 3. Edit a data screen → Add Data Field → Connect IQ → select FTMSElliptical. 4. Start the activity: the data field scans for nearby FTMS ellipticals and shows detected trainer names. 5. If more than one compatible trainer is found, the app cycles through available choices every 5 seconds with a countdown. Press Start when your trainer is shown to pair and begin collecting data. What gets recorded FTMSElliptical processes the full range of FTMS trainer metrics when provided by your machine. Many FTMS characteristics are optional, so some metrics may not be available depending on your trainer model. Customize your display Six display fields are shown during the activity. Each field can be assigned from a list of 20+ metric types. Use Garmin Connect IQ or Garmin Express settings to customize the defaults. Stride vs steps FTMS ellipticals report strides rather than steps. Typically 1 stride = 2 steps, but some trainers report 1 stride = 4 steps. Use settings to select x2 or x4 as needed. Limitations / notes * Connect IQ data fields cannot write to Garmin native fields (Distance, Speed, etc.). FTMS values are available in the Connect IQ charts/fields, and you can optionally edit your activity afterward in Garmin Connect to set native distance from the FTMS-reported distance. * FTMS trainers typically support only one active connection at a time. If you are connected with another app (e.g., Zwift or Kinomap), disconnect it before pairing with your Garmin device. Troubleshooting * Confirm your trainer supports FTMS by testing with another FTMS app (e.g., Kinomap or TrackMyIndoorWorkout). * If your trainer works in other apps but not here, use Contact Developer and include your trainer model plus what you see on the scan screen. App permissions (why they’re required) * Communications & Data Transmission — validate license subscriptions after unlocking * Background — required for communications (data fields can only communicate via a background service) * Fitness and Sensor Data — Bluetooth Low Energy access and writing trainer data to FIT * On-device Alerts and Notifications — show alerts during activity * User Profile — determine HR zones for zone highlighting Docs & support: absolutebollockscreations.com/apps/ftms
