Domestique Hub reads your Garmin Varia (and compatible) rear radar and does something
your bike computer can't: it warns every rider in your group the moment a car is
closing on any one of you.
In the Domestique Hub app for iPhone & Android — a mobile browser can't reach
Bluetooth sensors. A radar is optional: group rides, trainer control and tracking all work without one.
Why pair Varia with Domestique Hub
Group radar warning
If one rider's radar sees a car, the whole pack is warned on the live map — the rider at the
front knows what's coming up behind the group.
On your ride screen
Radar sits alongside power, heart rate and speed on a Garmin-style dashboard — not a separate
app to glance at.
Solo, too
Riding alone? Your own approaching-traffic alerts still show, recorded with the ride.
Everything in one place
Radar, smart-trainer control, a live rear-view camera and group
tracking — one app, one screen.
How it works
Open the Live tab and tap Pair a component.
Select your Varia (or compatible) rear radar over Bluetooth.
Start a group ride — every rider's radar now warns the whole pack.
Radar alerts support your own awareness of approaching traffic. They do not replace
looking, and are not a collision-avoidance system — always ride to the road and local rules.
Questions riders ask
Do I need a radar to use Domestique Hub?
No. The live group ride, smart-trainer control and ride recording all work on their own — a
radar just adds the approaching-traffic alerts.
Which radars work?
Garmin Varia rear radars that broadcast over Bluetooth, and compatible units from other
makers. We show approaching vehicles and their position behind you; closing speed isn't
displayed.
Does every rider need one for the group warning?
No — that's the point. One radar anywhere in the pack warns everyone on the ride, including
the riders on the front.
Does it work on an iPhone?
Yes, in the app. iPhone browsers have no Bluetooth access at all, so pairing any sensor —
radar, power meter, heart-rate strap — needs the installed app rather than the website.
