pycycling

A Python package for interacting with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) compatible bike trainers, power meters, radars and heart rate monitors.

The package uses Bleak (Bluetooth Low Energy platform Agnostic Klient) behind the scenes to connect and communicate with bike trainers. Bleak is cross-platform with support for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Please refer to the Bleak repository for more information about supported platforms.

Disclaimer

I take no responsibility if the use of this package breaks your turbo trainer or stationary bike. Use at your own risk!

I have tested it with (tested protocols in brackets):

a Tacx NEO trainer (ANT+ FE-C over BLE, CPS, CSCS)
a Tacx NEO 2T trainer (ANT+ FE-C over BLE, CPS, CSCS)
an Elite Sterzo Smart steering plate (STERZO)
a pair of Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals (CPS)
a Garmin RVR315 rear view radar (RDR)
a Magene S3+ Speed/Cadence sensor (CSCS)
a Elite Suito-T smart trainer (CPS, CSCS, FTMS)

Please let me know if you have used it with another device, and I will add it to the list.

Supported protocols

Battery Service (BAS)
Cycling Power Service (CPS)
Cycling Speed and Cadence Service (CSCS)
Elite Sterzo Steering Service (STERZO)
