First-time pairing

Orchestrates the pairing landing + your chosen method, end to end

Walk through pairing your first OctoMY™ Agent and Remote together. This page orchestrates the two existing steps — you'll follow links to each — rather than repeating their walkthroughs here.

Composite how-to

This is a composite guide. It tells you which steps to run and in what order; the step-by-step UI walkthroughs live in their own atomic pages so each one has a single source of truth.


What you'll have at the end

  • One Agent and one Remote on the same network
  • A mutual pairing between them
  • A trust relationship the Agent has reviewed and accepted

If you don't yet have an Agent and Remote running, complete Your first Agent and Your first Remote first.


The steps

Step 1 — Discover and request the pair

You have several methods to choose from depending on your environment. Open the Pairing how-to landing page and pick the one that fits — Pair via LAN is the default for a home or lab where both devices share a network. If you're on a public WiFi or want physical-proximity confirmation, take Pair via QR instead.

Do this: open Pairing — pick a method and complete one of the atomic guides through to the point where the Remote sends a pairing request to the Agent.

Step 2 — Accept on the Agent + set trust

Once the Remote has sent the request, the Agent shows a pairing-request dialog. You accept, verify the Remote's identicon, and pick the trust level that's appropriate.

Do this: complete the final two steps in the atomic guide you chose — they end with both devices showing the connected status.


When you're done

Both devices show a "Connected" status line. The Agent's address book contains the Remote (and vice-versa) with the trust level you assigned. From here you can:

  • Send your first control command — see Your first connection
  • Pair a second Remote (or Agent) — repeat this guide; the pairing surface keeps every previous pair intact
  • Adjust trust later — open the Pairing activity on either node and pick a new level

Why this is a composite

Pairing has more than one way to be done — LAN, QR, audio, Bluetooth — and we don't want every entry point to re-explain those alternatives. Instead, this page acts as the first-time-pairing recipe and delegates the method choice to the Pairing landing page. When a new method ships, the landing page picks it up automatically and this composite gains a new option without any rewrite.
