Wouldn't you be looking for a "dumb" trainer?
Most if not all smart trainers calculate and broadcast power over ANT+ and/or BLE.
Unless you want to do ERG mode on a smart trainer on which case powerpod won't help.

If it's a dumb or classic trainer then the best thing to do is to launch Isaac and go to Device/Edit trainer settings.
There you will see the full list of what is supported. Combine the trainer with speed sensor on the back wheel and you are good to go.
