I noticed that you say indirectly that control is coming soon, that would allow you to register gear shifts and resistance changes to simulate the hills, correct?  I am definitely interested in that, but it would be good to know where on your roadmap that is.  I’d really like to stay with VZ and Quest/2 rather than go to Zwift or similar.  My problem at the moment is that I know the cadence that I have but not the force being applied, so I have to keep myself honest with the resistance and the “difficulty” really doesn’t mean a lot.  I also backed the Whipr on Kickstarter and it would be very cool to link that with the VZFit apps.  I was looking at the Wattbike Atom but I am not committed to anything.

Adding Bluetooth FTMS resistance control, simply connected to our difficulty setting, is planned for this sprint.  We're aiming to have a release build by the end of this week.  

Regarding the Atom, it's website says it supports Bluetooth Smart Control but doesn't explicitly say FTMS.  For some reason manufacturer's never specify the precise Bluetooth profiles (like FTMS) they support, I suppose because even within a profile there are optional features.  Many reviews of it do list FTMS but the devil is always in the details.
