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.
