Will there be a version of the WTS trigger sensor that is compatible with MX-W2?

Hello!

We do indeed plan to develop and manufacture a new generation of trigger sensors designed for MX-W2.
However, these trigger sensors most likely won't be compatible with the vast majority of circulating MX-W2 trainers (hardware version 2) manufactured and sold prior to ~Fall 2020. On top of that, we would still need to roll out fresh trigger sensor UI and implement it in Expert software - both desktop and mobile

Long story short, all this shall take considerable time and since trigger sensors is a very niche tool that only a small fraction of our userbase seeks - it's kind of put on the back burner in the grand scheme of things.

For anyone thinking about buying SCATT MX-W2 right now and who would like to use it with a trigger sensor in the future, I highly recommend double-checking with your local dealer that the MX-W2 you'd be getting comes with hardware version 3.
Hardware version 3 devices shall eventually become trigger sensor compatible. Also, as a rule of thumb - hardware version 3 shall be pretty much all the devices manufactured and sold starting from 2021

Thank you Peter,
the likelihood of me bying a MX-W2 just went up, even if some patience will have to be had.

What is the best way to find out if it a unit is Hardware version 2 or 3?

That info is available when the sensor is connected to the laptop program or our mobile app
About -> Diagnostics -> Connected devices
Here I have one of the older WiFi trainers at home and it shows hardware v 1.3 (the corresponding line is highlighted below)

I'm sure if you discuss your MX-W2 order with a major dealer and ask about future trigger sensor compatibility, they shall send you hardware version 3 by default. But just in case (also if it's a smaller dealer who might not be aware of this detail) feel free to specify in regards to a version 3 device :)
