        "content": "I did some research on the EB 900 (\u201cConnected Exercise Bike 900\u201d) from Decathlon to see if it can be used with the Wahoo Fitness app. Here\u2019s what I found \u2014 and how to tell whether pairing will work in your specific case.\n\n---\n\n## What the EB 900 can do\n\nAccording to the product specs:\n\n- The EB 900 supports Bluetooth connectivity using the **FTMS (Fitness Machine Service)** profile. This is a common Bluetooth standard used for smart fitness equipment (treadmills, bikes, etc.). ([decathlon.com.cy](https://decathlon.com.cy/collections/cardio-machines/products/ultra-comfortable-self-powered-connected-exercise-bike-eb900-b?variant=54299427733889&utm_source=openai))  \n- It works \u201cwith and without resistance control\u201d depending on the app. For example, in Kinomap, it can adjust resistance automatically according to terrain or workout, but with Zwift or Rouvy / Bkool/Fulgaz, you\u2019ll need to adjust resistance manually. ([decathlon.ca](https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8928150/self-powered-stationary-bike-eb-900?utm_source=openai))  \n- The console shows a bunch of workout metrics: watts, RPM, speed, etc., and supports external heart-rate sensors or watches. ([decathlon.ca](https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8928150/self-powered-stationary-bike-eb-900?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo the hardware seems equipped for Bluetooth/FTMS, which is a good first sign.\n\n---\n\n## What Wahoo Fitness needs to pair\n\nHere\u2019s how the Wahoo Fitness app typically works:\n\n- It can pair with FTMS-capable devices (smart trainers, bikes, etc.) via Bluetooth. ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/204281864-Pair-a-Wahoo-Smart-Trainer-with-the-Wahoo-app?utm_source=openai))  \n- To pair something like a smart bike or trainer, you go into *Wahoo \u2192 My Sensors \u2192 Pair Sensor* (or the \u201c+\u201d icon). ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/204281864-Pair-a-Wahoo-Smart-Trainer-with-the-Wahoo-app?utm_source=openai))  \n- Your device needs to be active / awake (console powered on, pedaling or some sensor activity) so that Wahoo can detect it. The Bluetooth of your phone/tablet has to be on. ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402566379282-Connecting-a-Smart-Controllable-Trainer-Bluetooth?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Can your EB 900 pair with Wahoo Fitness?\n\nGiven the above, **yes**, it *should* be possible \u2014 but with some caveats. Here are the critical points:\n\n- Because the EB 900 supports the **FTMS Bluetooth profile**, Wahoo Fitness should recognize it as a compatible fitness machine. ([decathlon.com.cy](https://decathlon.com.cy/collections/cardio-machines/products/ultra-comfortable-self-powered-connected-exercise-bike-eb900-b?variant=54299427733889&utm_source=openai))  \n- However, *resistance control* may be limited. If the EB 900 supports automatic resistance control only in apps like Kinomap, other apps may only read power / speed / cadence, but not be able to change resistance. Wahoo Fitness *might* treat it as a sensor-only device in that case. ([decathlon.ca](https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8928150/self-powered-stationary-bike-eb-900?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What to try, step by step\n\nHere\u2019s how you can test it out:\n\n1. **Activate Bluetooth on your EB 900**  \n   Turn on the console and start pedaling so the sensors (speed, watt, cadence) wake up.\n\n2. **Open your Wahoo Fitness app**  \n   Make sure your phone/tablet\u2019s Bluetooth is turned on.\n\n3. **Go to My Sensors \u2192 Pair Sensor (or \u201c+\u201d)**  \n   Look for available devices. The EB 900 should appear \u2014 perhaps named something like \u201cEB 900,\u201d \u201cDecathlon Fitness Machine,\u201d or something FTMS-related.  \n\n4. **Select it to connect**  \n   Pair it; allow permissions when prompted.  \n\n5. **Choose workout mode that supports external trainer / bike**  \n   If the app asks: look for \u201cIndoor Bike / Smart Trainer\u201d style options.  \n\n6. **Check what data you get**  \n   - Do you see speed / watts / RPM?  \n   - Does resistance *change if you try to adjust it on the bike or in-app (if supported)?  \n\nIf everything works, great! If not, you may only get partial functionality (e.g. tracking but no resistance control).\n\n---\n\n## Possible limitations\n\nBe aware of a few potential issues:\n\n- **Resistance control** may not be supported in Wahoo Fitness, even though FTMS allows it \u2014 depends on how Decathlon implemented FTMS for the EB 900.  \n- **Firmware / software version** could matter. If your bike is older or hasn\u2019t been updated, it might have bugs or limited profile support.  \n- **App version** on your phone matters: Wahoo\u2019s updates occasionally change compatibility.  \n- Conflicts with other Bluetooth connections could also block pairing.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can dig up some reports or guides from users who\u2019ve tried pairing EB 900 with Wahoo Fitness \u2014 sometimes experience adds details the specs don\u2019t cover. Would you like me to look into that?"

        "content": "I looked into the EB 900 (Domyos EB-900 / EB-900 B) from Decathlon to see what I could find about firmware updates and how to make the bike announce distance, especially for someone who is blind. Unfortunately, I didn't find evidence that *you can update the EB 900\u2019s firmware via Bluetooth or phone*, nor that it has built-in features to voice\u2010announce distance. But I found info that helps clarify what you *can* do. Here\u2019s a breakdown and suggestions:\n\n---\n\n## What I learned about updating and announcements\n\n1. **Firmware updates**  \n   I did *not* find any Decathlon documentation saying there is a firmware update available or any method (via Bluetooth, phone, or PC) to update the EB 900. The user manual and support pages list many repairable parts and how to maintain the bike, but do not mention firmware or app updates for the console. ([support.decathlon.es](https://support.decathlon.es/bicicleta-estatica-eb900-conectada-autoalimentada-manual-reparacion?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Distance display and its settings**  \n   The manual confirms that the EB 900\u2019s console does show \u201cdistance\u201d and uses KM or MI, speed, calories, etc. ([support.decathlon.ro](https://support.decathlon.ro/domyos-eb-900-manual-de-utilizare-reparatii?utm_source=openai))  \n   There is a setting for unit of measure (km or mile) through holding buttons inside the console menu. ([support.decathlon.ro](https://support.decathlon.ro/domyos-eb-900-manual-de-utilizare-reparatii?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **No built-in voice or audible reading**  \n   There is *no indication* in the official documentation that the bike console has any feature to *speak* or *announce* distance or stats out loud. Decathlon hasn\u2019t published anything about a text-to-speech mode or voice feedback on EB 900. ([support.decathlon.ro](https://support.decathlon.ro/domyos-eb-900-manual-de-utilizare-reparatii?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **No PC connection for updates**  \n   The repair/manual pages do not describe any port or USB interface for firmware transfer or computer connection. They focus on mechanical repairs, replacing parts, adjusting settings via the console buttons. ([support.decathlon.es](https://support.decathlon.es/bicicleta-estatica-eb900-conectada-autoalimentada-manual-reparacion?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What this means for you\n\n- You **cannot update** the firmware yourself because there is no documented way to do so via a PC or smartphone.  \n- You **cannot get the distance announced** by the bike console itself, since there is no speaker or voice feature in the documentation.  \n- The console still shows the distance visually, so you need a way to access that info through other means if you cannot see it.\n\n---\n\n## Options & solutions for distance accessibility\n\nEven without a built-in voice option, there are alternative methods so you can hear how far you\u2019ve cycled:\n\n1. **Use a screen reader on a smartphone or tablet with a compatible app**  \n   If you connect the EB 900 to a fitness app (e.g., Wahoo Fitness, Kinomap) that supports your phone\u2019s accessibility (VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android), the app may read out your distance periodically.\n\n2. **Use an external voice-enabling device**  \n   You could use a talking fitness tracker or a smart watch that supports voice announcements. Connect a Bluetooth distance sensor if needed, or use GPS indoors if possible (GPS indoors is usually weak but possible near windows in some buildings).\n\n3. **Ask Decathlon support / request a firmware addition**  \n   It could be useful to contact Decathlon and say you\u2019d like a firmware update that adds voice distance announcements. If enough people request it, they might consider adding accessibility features.\n\n4. **Use audio cues manually**  \n   One workaround: set a timer every few minutes and tap a button or ask someone to tell you your distance, if someone is there. Repeating announcements via an app is more scalable.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can check whether there is any *beta firmware* or upcoming update for the EB 900 that adds voice features, or see if people have made modifications. Would that help?"

        "content": "Yes \u2014 Wahoo Fitness *can* tell you the distance you've cycled, using its **Audio Alerts** feature. You can set it to announce your distance every certain interval (for example, every half mile or kilometer). I\u2019ll explain how it works and how you can set it up so that it\u2019s accessible and works well for someone who is blind.\n\n---\n\n## How Wahoo\u2019s Audio Alerts work for distance\n\n- With Wahoo version **6.51.0 or later**, there is an *Audio Alerts* feature in the settings that includes distance alerts. ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/17219474421266-Audio-Alerts-Wahoo-app?utm_source=openai))  \n- You can set \u201cCustom Alerts\u201d to trigger audio feedback for *Distance (active distance)* \u2014 meaning while the workout is ongoing, it can say how far you\u2019ve gone, at intervals you choose. For example, every 1 mile or every 0.5 km. ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/17219474421266-Audio-Alerts-Wahoo-app?utm_source=openai))  \n- This audio is spoken, using the language settings in Wahoo, so you will *hear* the distance. ([support.wahoofitness.com](https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/17219474421266-Audio-Alerts-Wahoo-app?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Steps to set up distance announcements\n\nHere is how you can set it up so the app will speak your distance during your ride:\n\n1. **Update the Wahoo app**  \n   Make sure your phone has the latest version of Wahoo Fitness (6.51.0 or newer). You can check the version in your phone\u2019s App Store or Google Play store.  \n\n2. **Open the Wahoo app and navigate to Settings \u2192 Workout Profiles**\n\n3. **Select the workout profile** you use for indoor cycling (or the default profile if you don\u2019t have a special one)\n\n4. **Go to Alerts** within the workout profile\n\n5. **Enable Audio Alerts** if it's not already on\n\n6. **Add a Custom Alert**  \n   - Choose *Distance (active distance)* as the trigger  \n   - Choose how often it repeats (ex: every 0.5 km, 1 km, or 1 mile etc.)  \n   - Select that you want \u201cDistance\u201d as the information to be spoken.  \n\n7. **Start your workout / connect your EB 900**  \n   - Make sure the bike is connected and sending data (distance is recording)  \n   - The app will speak the distance every time the distance interval you set is reached  \n\n---\n\n## Tips to make it accessible\n\n- Use your phone\u2019s screen reader (VoiceOver on iPhone; TalkBack on Android) so the app\u2019s UI reads what\u2019s on screen as you navigate it to set up these settings.  \n- Make sure your phone\u2019s volume is up so you can clearly hear the announcements.  \n- If possible, position your phone or speakers so that you clearly hear the audio while pedaling.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through exactly what the screens will say on iPhone / Android when doing this setup, so you can do it more easily without seeing. Would you like me to send that?"
