Since the recent update to the sensor layout in the control panel, the ability to set resistance, grade or power for my trainer has been removed. This makes it impossible to complete a heart rate based workout imported from Training Peaks as the resistence flucturates between being too easy to near impossible to turn the pedals. I have a Elite Direto X smart trainer. Before the last update, I could change the value under the trainer sensor. Please reinstate this feature.

  Hi Trevor, we have been undergoing a revamp of our UI/UX on the how our users interact with Sensor and it's configuration details on Karoo. You will see this change already on Karoo right now, and it will continue to improve over time.
  
  That being said, the option to set resistance, slope and power was removed so it can be rebuilt with a better user experience where a rider doesn't have to go to sensor details mid-ride, and in a way where it can be controlled in-ride
  
  As of now, we can suggest building a power and HR based workout and use the + and - button on the workout player to increase or decrease the resistance.

  Hello,

  I just want to echo that being able to control trainer resistance, slope, etc is an absolutely critical feature for serious indoor training. To do an FTP test on the trainer, you can't use ERG mode. Is there an ETA on when this will be put back into the UI? I'll have to switch computers if it's not available before indoor training becomes really necessary.

  @HH when will controlling of resistance etc. be back on the device? The indoor training season just started and having control over resistance is essential.
