# How does the TouchGrid app connect to my ShowerStar?

The TouchGrid app connects to your ShowerStar device wirelessly using **Bluetooth**.

This means you do not need any cables or Wi-Fi to get started. The connection allows your phone to sync settings and view your water-saving data easily.

## Connection range

Because the ShowerStar uses Bluetooth, your phone needs to be reasonably close to the shower unit to sync.

- **Typical range:** the connection usually works within **10 to 15 metres** of the device.
- **Best practice:** for the quickest sync, we recommend standing in or near the bathroom when opening the app and connecting to the device.

**Note:** thick walls or closed doors may slightly reduce this range. However, once your settings are saved, the ShowerStar works automatically without needing a constant phone connection.
