Mac Fitness Remote
About

A remote, because the screen is on the wrong side of the machine.

The Voltra is a good machine with its controls at the machine. This puts one dial where your hands are, and nothing else.

What it is

Firmware for a small round-screen device (the Waveshare ESP32-S3 Knob Touch LCD 1.8) that connects to a Beyond Power Voltra I over Bluetooth and drives it: weight, chains, eccentric overload, load and release, auto load, and drop sets that run themselves. It does one thing, weight training, and does not try to be an app.

Unofficial

This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Beyond Power. "Voltra" and "Beyond Power" are their names, used here only to say what this controls. It may stop working after a machine update. The safety page spells out what that means for you.

Free to use

Free for personal use. See the license and notices.

Getting help

  1. Check the guide. Most "it is broken" reports are a setting doing what it says.
  2. If a load fails, the face names why: check machine with a line underneath, or set to weight mode. Read the line.
  3. For anything else, plug the device in, open the install page, choose Logs & Console, reproduce the problem, copy the log, and send it through the contact page. Say which machine, which firmware version (in Settings › About), and what you expected.

Deliberately not here

No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry, no WiFi on the remote, no session recording, no over-the-air updates, no phone required. The microphone (for the voice drop) is off unless you switch it on, and even then nothing leaves the remote. This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics.
