Advanced Configuration: Tweaking the INI File
For power users, the QZ APK allows you to edit an qdomyos-zwift.ini file. This lets you:
- Reverse resistance: Some dumb trainers have backwards resistance scaling.
- Calibrate power offset: If your power readings are consistently 20 watts off, you can add a linear correction.
- Customize Bluetooth names: Change "QZ-1234" to "My Garage Trainer."
To access this, install a file explorer on Android and navigate to Internal Storage > qdomyos-zwift.

The QZ (qDomyos-Zwift) app is a third-party bridge application developed by Roberto Viola that allows "locked" or proprietary fitness equipment (like Domyos, Echelon, and Peloton) to connect to open platforms like Zwift, Peloton, and Strava.
Below is a draft "paper" or summary outlining the app's purpose, technical capabilities, and setup requirements. QZ (qDomyos-Zwift) Project Overview 1. Project Purpose
The app was born from the developer's frustration with fitness hardware that is "locked" to a company's proprietary subscription service. QZ acts as a Bluetooth protocol bridge, translating the private signals from your exercise machine into a standard FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) protocol that apps like Zwift can understand. 2. Key Features & Capabilities
Since you asked to "develop feature," I will outline the concept, the technical implementation, and provide a C++ code skeleton (as QZ is built with C++/Qt) for a highly requested functionality.
3. Legitimate Use of an APK for Qdomyos-Zwift
If you want to run QZ on an Android device, you have two legitimate options: qz -qdomyos-zwift- apk
- Google Play Store – Search “Qdomyos Zwift.” The official app is there.
- Direct APK from GitHub – The developer provides release APKs on the official QZ GitHub repository:
https://github.com/qdomyos-zwift/qdomyos-zwift/releases
Why download the APK manually?
- You don’t have Google Play Services (e.g., Amazon Fire tablet).
- You want to test a beta version before public release.
- Your device is incompatible with the Play Store version for region or OS reasons.
How to verify legitimacy:
- Check SHA256 hash against the developer’s signature.
- Only download from
github.com/qdomyos-zwift. - The app is open source – you can audit the code.
5. Correct Setup: QZ + Zwift (No Hack Needed)
If your goal is to use QZ legitimately with Zwift, here is the correct method:
How to Set It Up
Getting QZ running typically involves a specific workflow because Android can usually only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time efficiently.
- Install the App: Download QZ from the Play Store.
- Connect Equipment: Open QZ, ensure your Bluetooth is on, and select your bike or treadmill from the device list within the app.
- Enable Bridge: Turn on the "Zwift Bridge" or "Peloton Bridge" toggle in the QZ settings.
- Connect the Target App: Open Zwift (or your chosen app). Go to the device pairing screen and look for the QZ device. It will usually appear as a generic "Bluetooth Smart" device named "QZ" or the specific sensor name.
- Start Moving: Once the green icons light up in Zwift, you are ready to ride.
For Android Devices (Using APK)
-
Find a Trusted Source: First, ensure you're downloading the APK from a trusted source. For Zwift, you might be looking for a companion app or something similar. Official apps are usually found on the Google Play Store, but if you're looking for an APK, consider reputable sites like APKMirror or the official website.

Enable Unknown Sources: Go to your device's settings, then to security, and enable "Unknown Sources" or "Install unknown apps" depending on your device. This option might be under "Apps" or "Advanced" settings, depending on the Android version.
-
Download the APK: Once you've found a trusted source, download the APK file.
-
Install the APK: Navigate to the download location on your device, and tap on the APK file to install it. Follow any prompts that appear.
-
Disable Unknown Sources: For security, it's a good practice to disable "Unknown Sources" again after installation.
Dual Bluetooth Connections
Unlike many official apps, QZ allows you to connect your sensors (HR monitor, cadence sensor) via Bluetooth to your Android device, while simultaneously broadcasting that data via Bluetooth to your PC running Zwift, and recording it to a separate head unit like a Garmin.
