Every Fluss+ widget triggers its device one of two ways: over Wi-Fi, using the internet, or over Bluetooth, directly from your phone. This guide explains the difference, how to change the setting, and why a device you expect might not be in the list.

Before you begin

• You need a Fluss+ widget already on your home screen. If you haven't added one yet, see how to add a Fluss+ widget to your iPhone Home Screen or how to add a Fluss+ widget to your Android home screen.
• The connection type is set per widget. If you have widgets for several devices, each one has its own setting.

How the two options differ

Tip: Wi-Fi is the more dependable of the two and is the default. Bluetooth triggering is still in beta and can be less reliable.

Steps to change the connection type

1. Open the widget's settings

The way in differs by platform.

Option A — iPhone

Touch and hold the widget, then tap Edit Widget. The settings show Connection, Device, and Confirm before opening.

Option B — Android

Touch and hold the widget, then tap Settings. Android runs the setup as a short series of dialogs, starting with Connection.

2. Choose Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

Pick the connection type you want:

• Wi-Fi sends the trigger over the internet. Your phone can be anywhere it has a connection — you don't need to be at the gate.
• Bluetooth sends the trigger straight from your phone to the device. No internet is involved, but you must be within range.

On iPhone this is the Connection row, where Bluetooth is labelled Bluetooth (Beta). On Android, choosing Bluetooth shows a Bluetooth is in beta dialog — tap Continue to proceed, or Use Wi-Fi to switch back.

3. Choose the device

The device list depends on the connection you picked, so check it after changing. On iPhone, tap Device; on Android, a Choose a gate dialog appears.

Important: Switching from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi can empty the list, because Wi-Fi shows only devices that are online right now. On Android an empty list shows No gates with Wi-Fi access and closes the dialogs without changing anything — the widget keeps its previous settings.

After changing the connection type

The widget shows a small Wi-Fi or Bluetooth icon in its top corner, so you can tell at a glance which one it's using.

One setting only applies to Wi-Fi: confirm before opening, the double-tap safety step. On Bluetooth a single tap always triggers the device.

Why a device might not appear in the list

• You chose Wi-Fi and the device is offline. Wi-Fi lists only devices that are online at that moment. Check the device on the app's home screen, and see solutions for Wi-Fi disconnection problems.
• You chose Wi-Fi but your access doesn't allow it. Wi-Fi triggering is a permission on your access to the device, separate from being able to open it in the app. See the various access types.
• The device is a Fluss+ Intercom. Intercoms can't be triggered from a widget and never appear in either list, on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
• The app hasn't synced your devices yet. The widget reads a list the Fluss+ app shares with it. Open the app, let your devices load, then try again — on Android an unsynced list shows No gates available.
• Your access has ended. A device shared with you appears only while your access is active.

Being out of Bluetooth range does not remove a device from the Bluetooth list — every device you have access to stays listed. Only the trigger itself fails when you're too far away.
