Community VacuGlide tools: touchscreen remote, Stash plugins, PMV Generator mode and an Intiface bridge

Heya, this is actual me not Claude. Just wanted to say up front a MASSIVE thank you to AutoBlow for creating amazing devices, and then on top of that making an awesome API. Seriously as a DevOps engineer by day who spend most of my time automating against garbage APIs, y’all killed it.
Below is a set of tools/plugins I made for Stash and the VacuGlide2 itself. All of it was vibe coded, you cant judge me harsher than I judge myself so let loose. That said, I would have done none of this had I to do it by hand, because I am lazy and I figure if I added .1deg to ocean temps at least others can get use out of it!
So enjoy, let me know if theres any problems/issues. This isnt a GH I check often as I wanted to keep it completely separate from my personal one.
Also to AutoBlow: If anything I did stepped out of line or violated any ToS I can remove it immediately.
Enjoy!

I’ve been building a set of tools around the VacuGlide 2 and Autoblow’s device API, and they’re now all public on GitHub: github.com/driftsyncone (all four repos are listed there, each with screenshots and setup steps in its README). Everything is free, open source and non-commercial (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, except the PMV Generator fork, which stays MIT like its upstream). These are unofficial community projects, not made or supported by Autoblow.

Full disclosure: all of this was vibe coded. I didn’t write the code myself; I described what I wanted, tested it on my own setup and made the decisions, and an AI coding assistant (Claude) wrote it. The commits on GitHub credit it as co-author. I’m saying that up front so you can judge the code accordingly, and so nobody’s surprised. Bug reports are very welcome.

Quick overview (repo names as they appear on my GitHub page):

Repo What it is Status
vacuglide-panel Standalone 5" touchscreen remote (ESP32-S3) Used daily; new Autopilot not yet tried on a device
stash-plugins VacuGlide Sync, Beat Script, Beat Bar, Stroke Graph for Stash Used daily
stash-pmv-plugins PMV Generator with a VacuGlide output Running in my setup
vacuglide-bridge Lets Intiface/Buttplug games drive the VacuGlide Experimental, untested on hardware

1. VacuGlide Panel: a standalone touchscreen remote (vacuglide-panel)

Firmware for a Guition JC8048W550 (ESP32-S3, 5" 800×480 touch display) that turns it into a dedicated VacuGlide remote. It talks straight to Autoblow’s device API with your device token: no phone, PC or home-automation hub needed once it’s set up.

  • Remote: speed slider, Start/Pause, hold-to-open Stroke − / Stroke +, vacuum maintenance Off/Low/Medium/High.
  • Autopilot (edging): an on-device generator with Intensity, Edge, Vacuum and Finish Me. Each session is 8 waves that climb to a peak, hold it, then drop and rest, with the peaks getting higher as it goes.
  • Scripts: the device’s 30 local-script slots, and you can name them (long-press a slot).
  • Settings on the device: Wi-Fi with a network scan, device token, screen timeout.
  • Clear connection status: Wi-Fi signal, plain-language reasons when something is down, and a red warning if the connection drops while the device is moving.
  • STOP on every screen, screen sleep while idle, and firmware updates over Wi-Fi.

2. Stash plugins (stash-plugins)

Four plugins for Stash. Install them by adding this plugin source in Settings → Plugins → Available Plugins → Add Source:

https://driftsyncone.github.io/stash-plugins/main/index.yml
  • VacuGlide Sync: plays a scene’s funscript on the VacuGlide in sync with the video, from any browser, including phones (it goes through Autoblow’s cloud API, so no app or Bluetooth needed). Automatic latency compensation, intensity and speed-limit shaping, suction buttons and a “keep suction” mode, and the device’s own buttons control the video.
  • Beat Script: paste a link (or pick a scene) and it makes a beat-synced funscript, either from an on-screen beat bar (cock hero / fap hero style) or from the music. It saves FULL / HALF / Music variants side by side.
  • Beat Bar: draws a fap-hero style beat bar over PMVs that don’t have one, with six themes.
  • Stroke Graph: a moving stroke line over the player, coloured by speed, so you can see what’s coming.

All four work in classic Stash and in the Stash UI interface.

3. PMV Generator: VacuGlide mode (stash-pmv-plugins)

A fork of anonym88312’s excellent PMV Generator that adds Play on: The Handy / VacuGlide / Both. The generated show’s funscript is uploaded to the VacuGlide as a sync script and follows the show’s clock, with defaults suited to the VacuGlide. It uses the device token from VacuGlide Sync, and can draw the Beat Bar over the show.

4. vacuglide-bridge (experimental)

A small program that pretends to be Intiface Central, so games that speak the Buttplug protocol can drive a VacuGlide. It was inspired by Cock Hero, and I know the Cock Hero developers are already adding native VacuGlide support (planned for January). I just didn’t want to wait, so this is a stopgap until then. It hasn’t been tested on a real VacuGlide yet; reports are welcome. Start with a speed cap (-max 40).


What I measured about how the VacuGlide plays scripts

This might help other script makers and developers. I uploaded test funscripts through the sync-script API and read back the device’s target speed:

  • Speed comes from stroke velocity only: speed % ≈ funscript units per second ÷ 6, reaching 100 % at about 600 units/s.
  • Depth matters: the same timing at half depth gives half the speed. So shortening strokes (for example with a speed cap) makes the device slower, not just gentler.
  • No smoothing: alternating 230 / 270 ms moves flip the speed 72 ↔ 62 % on every move.
  • Full 0–100 strokes work best: typical hand-made scripts already sit around 60–75 %; beat-bar FULL scripts reach 100 % in fast sections (above ~180 BPM), which is the device’s real maximum.

Questions for the Autoblow team

  1. Autopilot patterns: for the panel I wrote my own Autopilot generator rather than reuse the patterns from your web app, because I didn’t want to step on your toes. Would you be OK with community projects using the same patterns (credited to you)? If so, I’d add them as an option next to mine.
  2. Disconnect safety (suggestion): as far as I can tell, if the controlling app loses its connection, the device keeps its last speed. An optional “stop if no command for N seconds” setting in the API would make remote controllers safer.

Thanks for making a device with an open API; it made all of this possible. Feedback, bug reports and pull requests are very welcome on GitHub.

Quick note on why I used a Guition JC8048W550 specifically.

Because I had one on my desk (originally for HomeAssistant panel, that’s why home automation is mentioned lol). This can likely be built against any ESP32 device with a touchscreen. I also have plans to investigate adding support to Research&Desires RADR remote ( GitHub - researchanddesire/radr-wireless-remote: OSSM wireless remote · GitHub )

Do you have a video of this touch screen remote in action? We would love to see it as would probably other guys here.

I can make one! To be honest it looks/works almost exactly like the webUI. Gimme ~10min and ill grab the unit so you can see it actually workin :smiley: !

Example video here:

edit: please forgive the mess in/around/on my desk :sweat_smile:

This is very cool. Our developer who created the system will see this maybe over the weekend.Would you mind if I later posted this video on our subreddit referencing your username here, or whatever username you want me to reference, or no username?

I will send you a DM about something else

Absolutely feel free to share, you can use this username! I dont have much social media presence, but I do have alerts (ironically now on HomeAssistant lol) setup to let me know if any issues or such are opened on any of the repos.

I’ll post it over there after the other moderator here (the guy who wrote all of these systems) checks it over to make sure it’s not doing anything he doesn’t like, as far as server use, etc.

Really appreciate you sharing this with everyone else.A lot of people have asked for a remote control like this but due to the fact that you can use your phone as a remote, this project never made it to the top of our queue.

If our time resources were unlimited, I think we would have already released this, but let’s see. Maybe in the future!

Please let me know his feedback!

I definitely want to keep improving this, mostly the hardware side. Battery powered, better wifi antenna (just using the dinky one that came w/ the board), etc…

Whatever I end up doing I will report back and share!

I was hoping for a Buttplug plugin. I might test it this weekend, if I get to it.

Thanks.

Buttplug plugin for Stash? I can probably throw one together, figured it existed already.

No, I meant the bridge you made. There are some games I wanna play with that. :slight_smile:

Ahhhh, that is a good idea. Gimme a bit to cook, ill have something for you probably tonight!

Ok, there is an 0.2.0 build hitting GH now! If you get a chance check it out and let me know how it goes. Has an actual UI now for one, and I renamed it since I also added support for the Ultra and Vacupump (don’t have either so I cant test, I assume the Ultra works since its a stroker and thats a common motion paradigm)

Awesome, thanks a lot. I will give you feedback once I tried it.
