@elizaos/plugin-intiface

Intiface/Buttplug.io integration plugin for Eliza OS that enables control of intimate hardware devices.

Features

• Support for multiple intimate hardware devices through Buttplug.io protocol
• Automatic device discovery and connection management
• Battery level monitoring for supported devices
• Vibration and rotation control (device-dependent)
• Graceful connection handling and cleanup
• Built-in device simulation for testing
• Support for customizable vibration patterns
• Automatic Intiface Engine management

Installation

pnpm install @elizaos/plugin-intiface

Configuration

The plugin can be configured through environment variables or runtime settings:

INTIFACE_URL=ws://localhost:12345
INTIFACE_NAME=Eliza Intiface Client
DEVICE_NAME=Lovense Nora

Usage

Basic Device Control

import { intifacePlugin } from '@elizaos/plugin-intiface';

// Vibrate device
const result = await eliza.execute({
  action: 'VIBRATE',
  content: {
    strength: 0.5,  // 0.0 to 1.0
    duration: 1000  // milliseconds
  }
});

// Check battery level
const battery = await eliza.execute({
  action: 'BATTERY',
  content: {}
});

Advanced Features

// Rotation control (for supported devices)
const result = await eliza.execute({
  action: 'ROTATE',
  content: {
    strength: 0.7,
    duration: 2000
  }
});

Device Support

The plugin supports various devices through the Buttplug protocol, including but not limited to:

• Lovense devices (Nora, Max, etc.)
• WeVibe products
• Kiiroo devices
• Magic Motion products
• And many others supported by Buttplug.io

Testing

The plugin includes a simulation mode for testing without physical hardware:

pnpm test-via-bun

Dependencies

• Buttplug.io (v3.2.2)
• Intiface Engine
• WebSocket support

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Problems

   • Verify Intiface Engine is running (ws://localhost:12345 by default)
   • Check device Bluetooth is enabled and in pairing mode
   • Ensure device is charged and within range
   • Try restarting both device and Intiface Engine

2. Device Not Found

   • Confirm device is supported by Buttplug.io
   • Try manual device pairing through Intiface Central first
   • Check if device requires specific firmware version
   • Verify device is not connected to another application

3. Command Failures

   • Check battery level is sufficient
   • Ensure device is within supported range for command values
   • Verify device supports the specific command (vibrate/rotate)
   • Monitor Intiface Engine logs for detailed error messages

4. Performance Issues

   • Reduce command frequency if experiencing lag
   • Check for Bluetooth interference
   • Monitor system resources for potential bottlenecks
   • Consider using wired connection if available

Security Best Practices

1. Device Privacy

   • Use secure WebSocket connections (wss://) when possible
   • Don't expose Intiface Engine to public networks
   • Regularly check for and apply firmware updates
   • Monitor device connection status

2. Data Protection

   • Clear device pairing history when needed
   • Don't store sensitive device information
   • Use unique device names for identification
   • Implement timeouts for idle connections

3. Access Control

   • Limit device control to authenticated users
   • Implement command rate limiting
   • Use device-specific permissions where applicable
   • Monitor and log unusual command patterns

4. Network Security

   • Keep Intiface Engine behind firewall
   • Use local connections when possible
   • Implement connection timeouts
   • Regular security audits of configurations
