Pairing with QR Code

ℹ️

Provisioning Alternative

Provisioning provides automated device-to-account binding for deployments of 10 or more devices. Provisioning tokens enable consistent configuration across fleets without manual code entry.

QR code pairing connects devices to TelemetryOS through mobile device camera scanning. The QR code displayed on-screen links directly to the TelemetryOS authentication flow, completing enrollment after login.

QR Code Display

When a Node Pro or BYOD device connects to the network and completes initial setup, the pairing screen displays both an alphanumeric code and a QR code. The QR code contains the device's unique pairing identifier.

The QR code:

• Contains the device's unique pairing identifier
• Links directly to the TelemetryOS authentication flow
• Remains displayed until pairing completes or the device reboots

Authentication Flow

Scanning the QR code with a mobile device camera opens the TelemetryOS authentication interface. The authentication flow supports multiple login methods:

After successful authentication, pairing completes automatically.

Pairing Completion

Upon successful QR code pairing:

• The device screen transitions from the pairing code to content playback
• The device appears in the TelemetryOS Studio device list
• The account's default playlist begins displaying automatically
• Device health reporting and remote management become active

Unpairing Behavior

Devices may become unpaired in rare circumstances, such as account changes or extended offline periods. Unpaired devices return to the pairing screen and require re-enrollment. For deployments requiring persistent device-to-account binding, provisioning provides token-based authentication.
