* docs: add device pairing section to Control UI docs Explains that new browser connections require one-time pairing approval, what error message users will see, and how to approve devices using the CLI. This was a gap in the documentation that caused confusion for users connecting via Tailscale Serve. * docs: clarify Control UI pairing error * docs: clarify device revoke flags --------- Co-authored-by: Lucifer (via OpenClaw) <lucy@neuwirth.cc> Co-authored-by: Sebastian <sebslight@gmail.com>

## Device pairing (first connection)
|
||||
|
||||
When you connect to the Control UI from a new browser or device, the Gateway
|
||||
requires a **one-time pairing approval** — even if you're on the same Tailnet
|
||||
with `gateway.auth.allowTailscale: true`. This is a security measure to prevent
|
||||
unauthorized access.
|
||||
|
||||
**What you'll see:** "disconnected (1008): pairing required"
|
||||
|
||||
**To approve the device:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List pending requests
|
||||
openclaw devices list
|
||||
|
||||
# Approve by request ID
|
||||
openclaw devices approve <requestId>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once approved, the device is remembered and won't require re-approval unless
|
||||
you revoke it with `openclaw devices revoke --device <id> --role <role>`. See
|
||||
[Devices CLI](/cli/devices) for token rotation and revocation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Notes:**
|
||||
- Local connections (`127.0.0.1`) are auto-approved.
|
||||
- Remote connections (LAN, Tailnet, etc.) require explicit approval.
|
||||
- Each browser profile generates a unique device ID, so switching browsers or
|
||||
clearing browser data will require re-pairing.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it can do (today)
|
||||
|
||||
- Chat with the model via Gateway WS (`chat.history`, `chat.send`, `chat.abort`, `chat.inject`)
