Pairing screen, clearer information
I’ve answered multiple times now on Facebook and discord as to why ERG isn't working. I've even answered in person, a friend who said TPV is great but erg is rubbish.
It turns out all theses issues are from users pairing their trainer as smart trainer AND powermeter. This is understandable because coming from Zwift, this is what was required on that platform. Whereas on TPV the powermeter is only for secondary power source.
This issue crops up multiple times a week now on social platforms.
The solution would be a little bit of text or pop up message saying it is only required for secondary power source and not required for just a smart trainer.

I have my smart trainer paired as a trainer and my Garmin Pedals are paired for cadence & power. When I go from a hard interval to an easy one, ERG makes is incredibly hard to pedal on the easy interval. Even though I downshift to make it easier, ERG made me go to a complete stop on the easy interval after a Z5 interval, I have ERG release checked so it released eventually but this doesn't seem right so I have not been using the ERG feature.

OMG. I've had a few issues with ERG mode and had thought it was just teething problems with the software. I've just tried adjusting my pairing so the trainer is now only paired as a trainer and cadence sensor NOT AS A POWER METER. it defiantly helped and you (TPV) should find a way of ensuring users know about this, I only found out because I happened to be browsing the "ideas" page.

A better solution yet would be for the system to just not allow the smart-trainer to be paired as the secondary source and for the popup to advise why.
