Receive Pokes
To receive physical pokes on your Lovense toys, sync them in Pokes and stay connected in Lovense Remote or Connect. Creators and connections can only poke you when your relationship allows it and your toys appear online.
Sync your toys
- Open Toys (
/toys). - Pair with Scan QR or Pairing code in Lovense Remote (see Connect Lovense).
- Wait until at least one toy shows online in the toy deck.
- Use Sync toys in the header if status looks stale.
Keep Lovense Remote running in the background during sessions so you stay online.
Who can poke you
| Source | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Connection | Accepted connection + creator allows pokes for your role |
| pokesBot / tips | Creator has tip rules or commands configured (you do not need the dashboard open) |
| Control link | Separate flow: see Redeem a Control Link |
You control defaults in Settings (/settings):
- New connections can poke you
- Appear hidden / online: when hidden, others may not see you as available
During a poke
- Your toy receives the command in real time through the Lovense bridge.
- Intensity and duration follow the sender's choices and your plan/role caps.
- Emergency stop on Toys immediately stops vibration.
Viewers receiving from creators
- Connect with the creator on Connections.
- Sync your toy and stay online.
- Ask for a short test poke at low intensity before a long session.
Creators see your online status only if you are not hidden in privacy settings.
What you need
- Pokes account with synced Lovense toys.
- Accepted connection with poke permission enabled.
- Lovense Remote or Connect active on the same network as your session.
How to test
- Sync a toy, ask a trusted connection for one low-intensity poke.
- Confirm the correct toy reacts and intensity matches what they sent.
- Toggle Appear hidden and verify the connection sees updated status.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Toy offline | Open Lovense Remote, then Sync toys on /toys |
| No pokes arriving | Check connection accepted, poke toggle on, and daily limits |
| Wrong toy vibrates | Rename toys on /toys so names match physical devices |
| Too intense | Ask the creator to lower role limits: see Limits and Safety |
