BH Fitness Lyon H9115 and QZ: FTMS Bike Data with a Garmin Bridge

The BH Fitness Lyon H9115 is an FTMS-connected indoor bike, and QZ provides a practical way to use its bike data across a wider training setup. The official BH Fitness specification lists Bluetooth FTMS connectivity, magnetic resistance, handlebar controls and power measurement up to 500 watts.[2] [3]

What the Lyon H9115 provides

How QZ fits into the Lyon H9115 workflow

QZ can act as the central connection layer between the Lyon H9115 and the rest of the training setup. The recent QZ implementation for the H9115 automatically enables the FTMS configuration path when the bike advertises as H9115 LYON. That removes the need to guess which bike profile to select manually.[4]

ConnectionRole in the setup
BH Lyon H9115 → QZQZ receives the bike’s Bluetooth FTMS metrics and presents them in the app.
QZ → training appQZ can bridge the workout to compatible virtual-training applications through its supported device workflows.
QZ → Garmin EdgeOn Android, an external USB ANT+ adapter can be used when Garmin recording is required and the phone/tablet supports the adapter.

The Garmin bridge

Garmin Edge computers commonly expect ANT+ sensors, while the Lyon H9115 exposes Bluetooth FTMS. QZ can fill that protocol gap: connect the bike to QZ over Bluetooth, connect a compatible USB ANT+ dongle to an Android phone or tablet through USB-C/OTG, and let QZ transmit the ride data toward Garmin.

  1. Connect the Lyon H9115 to QZ over Bluetooth FTMS.
  2. Confirm that speed, cadence and power update correctly inside QZ.
  3. Connect a compatible ANT+ USB adapter to the Android device running QZ.
  4. Enable the required ANT+ bike/power transmission settings in QZ.
  5. Pair the resulting ANT+ sensor on the Garmin Edge and record the activity there.

An iPhone or a Galaxy Tab without native ANT+ hardware cannot transmit ANT+ by itself; the Android path therefore requires the external adapter. This is separate from the Bluetooth FTMS connection between the bike and QZ.

Using the Lyon H9115 with connected apps

For apps that accept FTMS directly, the simplest path is Lyon H9115 → QZ or app → workout platform. QZ becomes especially useful when you want to combine the bike with a second device, expose a virtual bike, add workout recording integrations or route the data toward Garmin through ANT+.

BH Fitness Lyon H9115 and QZ in one sentence

Lyon H9115 Bluetooth FTMS → QZ → live cycling metrics, virtual-bike bridging and optional ANT+ output → training app or Garmin Edge.
