What's New
Thank you for the requests to add newer devices. Ideally it would be as easy as ticking a few checkboxes and adding a few lines of compiler instructions, but I found out that some of the changes of Garmin's API are in practice not backwards compatible and the source code simply doesn't compile at this moment. With a lot going on in my life, the next expected date is therefore summer of 2024. I am happy to receive requests as that helps me to gauge interest and decide priorities, but please understand it may need some time to follow up on. IMPORTANT: I have received some reports (thanks!) since October '21 that some users had trouble with this - from recent reports, it seems that data is visible in Garmin Connect but no longer in Training Peaks, independent of the app settings. Unluckily I haven't had the time to check this in details, but as there have been no changes on my side, my best guess at this moment is that Training Peaks changed how they handle custom data fields. I am deeply sorry that I have been very busy during the last months and unable to check in detail - I will look into this once I find time. Please be patient, appreciate that someone is working on this for free and don't flood with negative reviews... if you have time, please click the Contact Developer link and let me know if this works for you at this moment or not. Sorry if you messaged me and I have been too busy yet to respond - I do read all messages and am grateful as they help me understand the situation. Note: Released a duplicate of V0.6.5 (without average power) as the companion "Third ANT+ Power Meter" data field. If you have problems with the most recent version, you could temporarily try that one instead. Would appreciate if you could use the "Contact Developer" link to let me know with your email address about the problem you are having. V0.7.5 (Nov 2,2022): Bug fix for 1040. V0.7.4 (Aug 17,2022): Added newer devices. V0.7.3 (Aug 12,2021): Improved handling of app settings to avoid functions that will be deprecated soon. Had to remove FR920xt from supported devices as it would no longer fit into memory - you can use the "third ANT+ PM" data field instead. V0.7.1 (Aug 11,2021): You can choose in app settings to display average power - either 3s, 5s, 10s, lap or activity average. If you see the CIQ symbol indicating an error, or don't see the option in the settings, please delete and re-install app. Requires a device with memory larger than 16kB for CIQ data fields. See here for details: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/reference-guides/devices-reference/ V0.7: Properly supports extended ANT ID's larger than 16bit or 65535 decimal. This was accomplished with the help of a user as I didn't have such power meters available - thanks a lot!!!!!! V0.6.1: Shortened the duration a previous power value would be continued to be displayed in the absence of updates, e.g. due to radio interference, from 5 to 3 seconds, to more accurately reflect the actual communication conditions. Also changed handling of Torque Frequency messages. This might improve behavior when stopping pedaling on some power meters. Would appreciate feedback. Requests on hold: - I sometimes receive the request to only record power, not cadence. Sadly, with the current CIQ API, I'd have to make a separate app for that, which would require more time and potential for error to maintain this. - I sometimes receive requests to only display power, not cadence. I will consider this in the future, but making the display work for round and square displays and all the different data field layouts is already not trivial, and keeping this updated for new devices, extended ANT ID's etc has been consuming all the available time so far. Hope you'd understand!

Loved it on Edge 530. However, new device support has not been added for a couple of years. Therefore it does not work on MANY new devices.
Very good counter, easy to use and works instantly to display power with my assioma duo. Can handle multiple bikes with different power meters by setting manually the powermeterID in IQ connect app. Great !
Great on Venu - I can see power and cadence across the whole session. Is it possible to see average power on the stats as well?
Brilliant data field addition. Exactly what I needed for my forerunner 55 for indoor rides.
