JOIN launched pushing workouts into Wahoo, and now intervals.icu has launched it though states the API is beta:
https://forum.intervals.icu/t/planned-workouts-with-wahoo-what-a-pain/54795/50
So it is a real tangible thing.

Yup. Still in beta so hopefully something they make available more widely.
The documentation is now publicly available, and apps are able to request the appropriate permissions. Seems like it’s now widely available.

Plus 1 for lets get this working. The manual process is annoying and I do start riding outside and doing workouts this time of year

Plus 1 from me as well, having workouts on my wahoo would simplify my setup. Even though it might not feature all the XERT features, I’d be happy with the FTP-based trainings.

Would even be handy for simply running indoor workouts, using the head unit as the control device.
I don’t see a use case personally for things like grams of food or running estimates of various metrics. Just a controlled workout would be cool.
Can also see the outside benefit if there were mountain bike locations that support that too.
This is great, is there a full announcement? I would think many users will welcome this.
Also, does it mean you can update threshold automatically on Wahoo?
We don’t update any zones at the moment. Besides, zones and Xert’s power curve don’t always align or make sense even. We’ve moved beyond using zones and use low, high and peak XSS instead. Garmin devices support this for now with our new datafields.

Thanks, I understand that.
The estimated FTP from XERT is my golden reference and I update it manually in Wahoo, Strava and Zwift.
Would be cool if that happened automatically (if that is even possible)
I think Wahoo calculates automatically zones from FTP.

Wahoo Started a long time ago. Wahoo has had bigger fish to fry over the years, especially with the Kickr being so popular. Resources towards creating a new Elemnt that would allow 3rd party integration has been on their wishlist but obviously never made it high enough as a priority for them. I wouldn’t bet on that changing any time soon.
So that won’t change with their new bike computer that should drop very soon? (The “ACE”).

Interesting. Bold move to add a wind sensor. All previous attempts at bringing a wind sensing product to market have failed. We could probably make pretty good use of it with our new XRP algorithm and group ride analysis. I suspect they’ve made this a key new feature. Opening up the unit to third party apps would be great if it happens but any third party would want to wait and see what the uptake is in the market first.
