The Wahoo ELEMNT computers can now handle smart bike lighting, GoPro cameras, and music.
Wahoo has released a number of new updates to enhance the functionality of its famous ELEMNT Roam and ELEMNT Bolt computers.
Wahoo’s popular ELEMNT Roam and ELEMNT Bolt computers now have the ability to operate smart bike lights and music players.
The most recent upgrades, which are accessible on existing models via software updates, include a new dark mode to better vision in a variety of lighting settings, and Wahoo has made its ELEMNT computers more interoperable with third-party training applications. All of these functions are currently available, and Wahoo claims the ability to operate GoPro cameras will be added in the near future.
Chip Hawkins, founder of Wahoo Fitness, says the adjustments are in response to the Wahoo community’s demands.
“At Wahoo, we are committed to continuously improving riders’ experiences with our devices,” he stated in a news release.
“Through regular software updates, we are able to listen to our community, then implement many of the upgrades that they request to improve their rides and performance.”
Thanks to the first of these new features, users will be able to control smart bike lights remotely through their Wahoo ELEMNT computer.
Wahoo says that the feature essentially turns the computer into “a centralised hub for bike lighting management”, through which users can operate the light by turning it on or off, or toggling through the various modes. There is also an ‘automatic light activation’ function that will turn the lights on and off automatically at the beginning and end of rides, respectively.
The new function is compatible with ANT+ smart bike lights.
Listen to music
The music control function sticks to the theme of adding control over other devices, in this case music players.
It replicates the functionality of your music device by making it possible to control music playback, such as playing, pausing or skipping songs, while you can also adjust the volume.
