iconsole-bike-client

This is a reversed bluetooth client for exercise bikes that uses the iConsole application.

If your bike is an iConsole bike but doesn't work, please open an issue with a log of the demo.js output.

Note: node v8 or lower required due to noble dependency.

Try me

First, use bluetoothctl to find the mac address of your bike. It should advertize with the name "iConsole" or similar.

Then, run this. It spams a lot, so I recommend writing to a file.

sudo node demo.js mac_addr_with_colons | tee demo.log

Example

const Client = require("./index.js")
 
const myBike = "00:00:00:00:00:00"; // Get MAC from config file or something else.
 
// Connect to client and listen to events.
const client = await Client.scan(myBike, 10000);
client.events.on("data", data => console.log("DATA", data));
client.events.on("error", err => console.log("ERROR", err));
 
// Connect to the bike.
await client.connect();
 
// Start the workout with a 50 calorie goal and level 12.
// That means that once the calorie count has counted down,
// the timer will stop.
await client.start({calories: 50, level: 12});
 
// Pause the bike
await client.pause();
 
// Resume the bike
await client.resume();
 
// Set resistance level (same `level` as in start options)
await client.setResistance(18);

Roadmap

• .d.ts files for better intellisense.
• refactor to sblendid (when it adds linux support), this will remove root requirement and support later version of node.
• Test if it runs on raspberry pi.
