Test a Toy

Always test toys at low intensity before advertising control to an audience. Pokes gives you several safe paths, including the same testing paths real pokes and tips use.

  1. Open Pokes (/pokes).
  2. Set TARGET to 💗 Myself.
  3. Choose TYPE → ⚡ Poke.
  4. Set INTENSITY to 5 Default.
  5. Press POKE and confirm the correct toy reacts.

If self-poke works, your Lovense / Pokes connection is healthy.

Toy control panel​

On Toys (/toys), use per-toy sliders and feature buttons (Vibrate, etc.) to move motors directly. This verifies Lovense connectivity if your toy responds correctly.

Preset test​

  1. On /pokes, set TYPE to 🌊 Preset.
  2. Try Pulse or Wave at low intensity.
  3. Confirm pattern timing feels right before using stronger presets.

Connection test​

  1. Add a trusted friend on Connections page.
  2. Have them send one low-intensity poke to you.
  3. Confirm role limits, cooldowns, and online status behave as expected.

Tip Studio (creators)​

Tip Studio (/tip-studio) is the best way to test stream automation: tip rules, minigames, overlays, and toy commands through pokesBot without posting public chat thank-yous or moving real money.

Requirements: Creator + Premium, paired pokesBot, and at least one online toy on /toys. Open Stream tools → Tip Studio in the dashboard, or go directly to /tip-studio.

Send a test tip​

  1. Confirm pokesBot shows Connected on /pokesBot.
  2. Open /tip-studio.
  3. Enter a tip amount that matches a configured rule (start small).
  4. Click Send test tip and confirm the toy reacts.

Use Quick triggers to fire amounts you already set up without retyping. The drawer lists your configured rows by type: Toy commands, Dice gamba, Wheelspin, Control links, piShock, OSC, and Chat messages.

Test minigames (wheel and dice)​

Before you advertise wheel or dice on stream:

  1. Configure outcomes in the Wheel spin or Dice gamba editors, including any Toy commands or Pattern rewards.
  2. In Tip Studio, open Quick triggers and pick a Wheelspin or Dice gamba row at a low amount.
  3. Confirm the toy fires with the reward you expect (intensity, duration, feature, or Pattern Studio pattern).
  4. Open your overlay browser source in a normal tab (not only OBS) if you want to preview on-stream visuals at the same time.

After a test tip lands a minigame reward, use Replay tip on that row in Recent tips. Replay resends the same wheel or dice outcome and toy reward instead of rolling again, so you can verify the exact result viewers would get.

Manual toy fire​

When you need to isolate hardware from rules, use Manual toy fire on Tip Studio: pick toy, feature, intensity, and duration, then Fire toy. This bypasses tip rules and is useful when a rule misfires but /toys sliders still work.

Debug panel​

Click a row in Recent tips to open the Debug panel. It shows what Tip Studio would have triggered: toy commands, minigame results, TTS, overlays, and integration rows. Chat thank-yous are summarized but not posted to your room during tests.

You can also run Tip Studio from pokesBridge on your stream PC (Quicklinks or the built-in Tip Studio tab). Keep Bridge open while testing local toys, OSC, or Lumia through Bridge.

See Test Tips and Tip rules for more on rule setup and troubleshooting.

  1. Create a 1–2 minute guest link.
  2. Open /redeem/{token} in a private window.
  3. Redeem and confirm timer + sliders, then end session.

What you need​

  • Online toy on /toys
  • Quiet environment for first vibration tests
  • Creators testing tips or minigames: paired pokesBot + Tip Studio access (Creator + Premium)

How to test checklist​

  • Self-poke at intensity 5
  • Panel sliders on /toys
  • One connection poke (optional)
  • Tip Studio test tip at a matching rule amount (creators with pokesBot)
  • Quick trigger for wheel or dice at low amount (if you use minigames)
  • Replay a minigame tip to confirm the same toy reward (optional)
  • Guest control link (creators with Premium)
