Confirm before opening decides whether your Fluss+ widget needs one tap or two. With it on, the first tap arms the widget and the second sends the trigger. It is on by default.

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 setting applies per widget. Turning it off on one widget doesn't change the others.
• It affects the widget only. It doesn't change how the device behaves when you trigger it from inside the Fluss+ app.
• It applies to the Wi-Fi connection only. A widget set to Bluetooth always triggers on a single tap, whatever this setting says. See how to choose Wi-Fi or Bluetooth triggering.

What the setting does

While the widget is armed it shows Tap again to confirm, or the device's status if it knows it — Open · tap again, Closed · tap again, or Offline · tap again.

Tip: Leaving this on is worth considering for anything street-facing, such as a driveway gate. A widget sits on your home screen where a stray thumb can reach it, and the second tap is what makes sure nothing opens unintentionally.

Steps to change the setting

1. Open the widget's settings

The way in differs by platform.

Option A — iPhone

Touch and hold the widget, then tap Edit Widget.

Option B — Android

Touch and hold the widget, then tap Settings. Android runs the setup as a short series of dialogs — Connection first, then Choose a gate, then the confirmation choice.

2. Change the setting

Caution: With confirming switched off, one accidental tap opens your device. Consider leaving it on for anything that controls access from a public road or a shared space.

On iPhone, tap the Confirm before opening toggle.

On Android there's no toggle — a Confirm before opening? dialog asks you to pick one:

• Tap twice (recommended) — the widget needs two taps.
• Single tap — the widget triggers immediately.

3. Test the widget

Tap the widget once and check it behaves the way you chose.

With confirming on, the widget shows Tap again to confirm and waits. Tap it a second time to send the trigger — the widget shows Triggering…, then Trigger sent.

Important: The armed state lasts about 3 seconds. If you wait longer than that, the first tap no longer counts and the next tap arms the widget again rather than opening the device.

Troubleshooting

• The widget triggers on one tap even though confirming is on. The widget is set to Bluetooth, where confirming doesn't apply. Switch its connection to Wi-Fi if you want the double tap.
• Two taps don't open the device. If more than about 3 seconds passed between them, the second tap only re-armed the widget. Tap twice in quicker succession.
• The widget shows "Offline · tap again". The device isn't reachable over Wi-Fi at the moment. Tapping again still sends the trigger, but it's likely to fail — check the device's internet connection first.
