+# Pairing Lighthouse Controllers or Trackers
+
+To pair lighthouse-capable hardware such as the Valve Index or HTC
+Vive Pro controllers, or VIVE Trackers you'll need enough receivers (one for
+each device).
+
+Receivers can be either:
+- watchman dongles (plugged in your computer, preferably not on an USB hub)
+- if you have a lighthouse HMD (e.g. Valve Index, HTC Vive, Bigscreen Beyond),
+  there will be two already built-in (for both controllers)
+
+## Pairing via SteamVR
+
+You can follow the normal pairing process by launching SteamVR, and opening the
+pairing window (in the Devices menu).
+
+If however for some reason this does not work (in particular, if the pairing window
+[does not render](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/531)),
+you can work around it by doing the pairing process via `lighthouse_console`.
+
+## Pairing via `lighthouse_console`
+
+In a terminal, launch `lighthouse_console` by running
+```
+~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/tools/lighthouse/bin/linux64/lighthouse_console
+```
+
+### Identifying available receivers
+
+You'll be greeted by a shell which starts by listing the serial number of attached receivers (both
+dongles and built-in, if your HMD is connected).
+
+Selecting a receiver is done by running `serial <serialnumber>` in the opened shell.
+When pairing new devices,
+you'll want to find a receiver that isn't paired with a device already. After a
+receiver is selected, you can run `identifycontroller` to check if the receiver
+is paired with a device (assuming the device is on).
+
+In general, built-in HMD receivers will have longer serial numbers than dongle
+ones.
+
+If either you want to *replace* previously paired devices (e.g. when changing
+controllers) or you're struggling to identify which receiver to use, run
+`unpairall`. This will unpair all lighthouse devices!
+
+### Pairing a device
+
+Once you have selected an available receiver with `serial <serialnumber>`:
+
+1. Turn on your device
+2. Put it in pairing mode (e.g. hold System+B for Valve controllers), the LED
+   should be blinking blue
+3. Run the `pair` command
+
+After a few seconds, the LED should turn green, and the device is now paired.
+
+Do this for each device you want to pair (remember to use a different receiver
+for each device), and exit the shell by running `quit`.
