General Process

How the overall flow works

Choose whether you need to install, update, or uninstall NordicFTMS.
Enter privileged mode from the treadmill screen using the hidden tap sequence.
Complete the install, update, or uninstall steps for your chosen task.
After installing, confirm the treadmill appears as NordicFTMS in PowerTread or another FTMS-compatible app.

More With NordicFTMS

After setup, pairing screens in PowerTread and other FTMS-compatible apps should show NordicFTMS as the treadmill name. If that does not happen, repeat the install once or contact support@powertread.fit.

NordicFTMS can also be used outside PowerTread. For example, it can let you connect a NordicTrack treadmill to Zwift and enable incline control by emulating a Wahoo KICKR RUN device over WiFi / DirectConnect.

NordicFTMS is free and open source, and it should work with any third-party running app that supports the FTMS standard. You can learn more or follow the project on GitHub. If it ends up being useful and you would like to support ongoing development, feel free to buy me a coffee 🙂
