Common message
Disconnected from gateway. pairing required
Symptoms
- Dashboard shows pairing required after a restart/update
- WhatsApp channel Show QR button does nothing
Root cause
Device pairing flow requires approval when the dashboard token changes; updates can trigger this if device-pair plugin is enabled.
Fix
- Disable device-pair plugin (recommended for multi-tenant hosted control UI).
- If a deployment is already stuck, approve the latest device request on the server.
