What is Companion Portal?
Companion Portal is the optional cloud control plane for Companion Hub. It helps you pair devices, manage remote access, browse installs remotely, and connect your local Hub to broader account and organization workflows.
What Portal is for
- Device pairing — attach a local Hub to your account
- Remote management — see and manage paired Hubs away from home
- Public app exposure — manage Cloudflare-backed access flows
- Account and organization controls — support multiple devices, users, or teams
- Remote app workflows — trigger installs or changes from the web
Portal is optional. Companion Hub works fully on your local network without it.
When should you use it?
Use Portal if you want one or more of the following:
- manage your Hub when you are away from the device
- publish selected apps through a safer managed access flow
- attach multiple Hubs to a single account
- organize devices across a household, lab, or team
Skip Portal if you only want a fully local setup and do not need remote control.
