Is my understanding correct?
No problem to search “overseas” – I am located in Europe.
Yes, the true 'smart' trainers use electronically controlled resistance to simulate what is seen on a screen (an incline or power target). The amount of resistance is fed to the trainer by the software through the use of an ANT+ dongle or Bluetooth connection from a PC depending on the trainer.
