The treadmill’s own screen nagged for an iFit subscription. keranm replaced the console app: belt and incline run with no login, no subscription and no internet, plus hill-profile walks, per-person profiles and optional Home Assistant control.
- ai
- The creator says about 90% was coded with Claude Code, which also helped decode the FitPro serial protocol between console and motor board.
- caveats
- Confirmed on one machine; other Gen 6 NordicTrack and ProForm consoles are likely but untested, and reports say the Gen 7 update closes the route. Likely voids the console warranty. A factory reset restores iFit. The physical safety key still cuts the motor.
