Use the supported RADR controls for a tested Lovense model and verify low-intensity output and Stop.
RADR supports Lovense Bluetooth devices with a simplified vibration-only control interface. This guide covers how to control Lovense devices.
Verify the model and Stop unloaded
Check the model and current validation note in RADR Device Compatibility. Keep the device clear of the body, begin at level 0, increase by one step, and press Stop. If the physical device does not return to zero, power it off and do not continue.
RADR provides vibration-only control for Lovense devices. Advanced features like heating, rotation, or device-specific patterns are not currently supported.
Supported Lovense Devices
Earlier RADR testing covered the following Lovense devices; the exact third-party firmware versions were not recorded, so consult the compatibility matrix before use:
| Device | Status |
|---|---|
| Lovense Domi | Tested |
| Lovense Hyphy | Tested |
| Lovense Ferri | Tested |
Other Lovense models are not validated merely because they use a compatible upstream protocol. See RADR Device Compatibility for the maintained list.
Control Screen Overview
When connected to a Lovense device, the control screen is simpler than the OSSM interface:
- Left Encoder Dial: Vibration intensity control
- Center Button: STOP button
- Display: Shows vibration level and device status
Vibration Control
The left encoder controls vibration intensity.
| Parameter | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Vibrate | 0–16 | 0 |
- Turn clockwise to increase intensity
- Turn counter-clockwise to decrease intensity
- Setting to 0 stops vibration
Lovense devices use a 0–16 intensity scale, not percentage. Level 16 is maximum intensity.
Stop Button
The middle button acts as an immediate stop:
- Press to set vibration to 0
- Confirm the physical device returns to level 0
Unlike the OSSM, there's no pause/resume state—simply increase the vibration level to restart.
RADR may repeat the stop command, but Bluetooth delivery cannot be guaranteed. Use the target device's own power control if output continues.
Battery Level
For Lovense Domi (and Domi 2), RADR can query the device's battery level via its direct integration:
- Battery percentage is shown on screen
- Check battery status before sessions to avoid interruptions
Battery level is available for Domi devices via direct Bluetooth integration. Other Lovense devices may or may not support battery level reporting depending on their Buttplug.io implementation.
Connecting to Lovense Devices
Step 1: Prepare your Lovense device
Turn on your Lovense device. Ensure the Lovense app is closed on your phone—only one controller can connect at a time.
Step 2: Scan with RADR
Turn on RADR or select Device Search from the main menu. RADR scans for 5 seconds.
Step 3: Select your device
Your Lovense device appears in the device list. Select it with the right button to connect.
Step 4: Start controlling
Once connected, use the left encoder to control vibration intensity.
Close the Lovense phone app before connecting with RADR. Bluetooth devices can only have one active controller.
Limitations vs Native App
RADR provides basic vibration control. The following features are not available:
| Feature | RADR | Lovense App |
|---|---|---|
| Basic vibration | Yes | Yes |
| Vibration patterns | No | Yes |
| Remote partner control | No | Yes |
| Sound-reactive modes | No | Yes |
| Alarm features | No | Yes |
| Device settings | No | Yes |
| Firmware updates | No | Yes |
Use RADR when you want tactile, physical controls without a phone. Use the Lovense app for advanced features and remote play.

Troubleshooting
Lovense device doesn't appear in scan
- Ensure the device is powered on (LED blinking)
- Close the Lovense phone app completely
- Move RADR within 1–2 meters of the device
- Power-cycle both devices and retry
Device connects but doesn't vibrate
- Ensure vibration level is above 0
- Check that the device has battery charge
- Some devices need a few seconds after connection to initialize
Vibration is inconsistent
- Reduce distance between RADR and the device
- Move away from Wi-Fi routers and other Bluetooth devices
- Ensure no other apps are trying to connect
Tips
Start at 0 and increase one level at a time only after the Stop check succeeds.
The encoder provides quick access to all 17 levels (0–16). You can rapidly scroll through intensities.
