Documentation › User Guides › Device Owners › Stage 3 › Add more devices

Device Owner mode launches Q3 2026. The screens and flows described below are based on the implementation under active development. We'll update these chapters with final screenshots and verified click-paths at launch. If you're a Device Owner early-access tester, expect minor UI differences and please report anything that doesn't match.

Add more devices to your fleet

You've got one device earning. The marginal effort to add a second is small — and a second device usually doubles your earnings without doubling your admin time. This chapter shows how to enroll additional devices under the same account and operate them as a fleet.

Time: 5-10 minutes per additional device. Prerequisites: First device already paired and earning (Stage 2 complete).

What scales linearly vs not

Scales linearly	Doesn't scale linearly
Earnings (each device earns independently)	Account setup (one-time only)
Compute capacity offered	Payouts (single Stripe Connect account)
Tax reporting volume	Schedule editing (per-device, but reusable presets)

A second machine roughly doubles your earnings without doubling your dashboard time — fleet views aggregate everything.

Add device #2 (and beyond)

Sign in to app.getzyra.io on the new device.
Devices → Add device → choose the OS installer.
Install the agent (see Stage 2 chapter 1 for platform-specific install).
The agent auto-pairs because you're already logged in. (Headless Linux? Use the pairing token shown on screen.)
Wait ~30 seconds for capability detection. Confirm the new row appears with status online.

[VERIFY: max devices per account — no hard cap is enforced in code today, but a per-account fair-use limit may apply at GA]

Naming conventions that scale

Free-text names get messy fast. A simple convention that works at 5+ devices:

{location}-{role}-{number}   e.g.  home-gaming-01
                                   home-laptop-01
                                   office-workstation-02

Rename in Devices → [row] → Settings → Name.

The fleet view

Devices as a list shows: name, status, capability score, hourly earnings rate, last heartbeat. Sort by earnings descending to see which machines pull their weight. The dashboard's top banner sums earnings across all devices.

Per-device vs fleet-level settings

Per device	Fleet-level (account-wide)
CPU/RAM/GPU caps	Payout method (one Stripe Connect account)
Availability schedule	Tax documents
Device name	Notification preferences

Schedule presets you build for device #1 can be applied to device #2 with one click [VERIFY: schedule-preset reuse at GA].

Troubleshooting

New device shows "offline" right after install. Give it 60-90 seconds — capability detection finishes before the first heartbeat lands.
"Device limit reached" error. Email hello@getzyra.io — most caps are soft.
Same hardware paired twice. The coordinator keys on a hardware ID; you'll get a "device already registered" warning instead of a duplicate.
