Fixed watts in indoor for ERG

Could we have an "indoor" mode with fixed watt target so that ERG mode can work? For example, an outdoor workout requiring between 120 and 140W could be available in indoor mode at a fixed 130W.

    Can you elaborate on this? What is the exact use case? Is this for the Garmin, or maybe FIT export?

    Thank you,

      Hello,

      I use a Wahoo bike computer to control my home trainer directly (no Zwift or any other software). I load my workouts through the JOIN integration, exactly the same way as I do for outdoor rides. The only difference is that the Wahoo is set to indoor mode and conneted to the hometrainer.

      When I start a workout, the bike computer simply displays the target power range I should stay within. However, to use ERG mode it needs a fixed power target not a power range.

        We use Wahoo’s API for uploading workouts. That API (

        https://cloud-api.wahooligan.com/docs/plan-json-format.pdf

        only allows setting a range, so I’m not sure what we could/should be doing differently here.

            We’ll contact Wahoo to see if there’s a workaround.
