Scanning and Connecting

How to scan for devices, connect, and understand the status indicators in the Devices tab.

Scanning and Connecting

The Devices tab is where you find and connect your Motorbunny or Fluffer devices. All devices connect over Bluetooth.

Before you scan

  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone

  • Power on your device

  • Keep the device within approximately 10 meters (30 feet)

  • On iOS: grant Fluffer Bluetooth permission when prompted

  • On Android: grant Fluffer location permission (required by Android for Bluetooth scanning)

Status indicators

Each device in the list shows a status indicator:

Searching — Fluffer is scanning and the device has not been found yet.

Found — the device is nearby and visible in the scan. Tap to initiate connection.

Connecting — connection in progress.

Connected — the device is ready to receive signals from the Controller tab.

Device shown as connected in the list

Disconnected — the device was connected earlier in this session but the connection dropped.

Help modal

If your device does not appear within about 30 seconds, a help modal automatically opens. It walks you through common troubleshooting steps: checking device power, Bluetooth settings, and distance.

Only one Fluffer session can control a device at a time. If another phone has the device connected, disconnect it there first before scanning here.
