Pair a phone or Mac as a companion node
nodes & devices
// what it does
Companion apps (macOS/iOS/Android) connect to the gateway with role: node and expose device capabilities. openclaw nodes pending (or openclaw devices list) shows pending pairing requests; openclaw devices approve <requestId> admits one and openclaw devices reject turns it away.
// shell
$ openclaw nodes pending$ openclaw devices approve my-request-id$ openclaw devices reject my-request-id// gotcha
Pending requests expire 5 minutes after the last retry, and a node that reconnects with changed auth gets a new requestId — approve the current one, not a stale entry. Node pairing is separate from per-command approval.
