How do we adopt an OAK4 (that has been setup) remotely? I see it can be done with the OAK Viewer but that requires that you be local. How do we do this with eg `oakctl`? **Background** I had multiple OAK4SW devices on a remote network that were all working and adopted in our team Luxonis Hub account. However, two days ago, one of the cameras disappeared from our account when I deleted an app (not in the offline tab; completely removed from the account). I could still see the device in `oakctl` and it showed as `Setup & adopted.` and I could install apps to it via `oakctl` but it couldn't access our private models I deleted the app on the camera in question (serial number `374921464`) via the Luxonis Hub. I selected the device from `Devices` then clicked on the app I wanted to delete, which brought me that specific instance of the App on that device. I clicked on the three dots in the upper right, which then showed the option to delete the app eg: [upl-image-preview uuid=a8694959-87d4-4b8f-9db8-6af9f3901b80 url=https://discuss.luxonis.com/assets/files/2026-06-11/1781205056-379696-screenshot-2026-06-11-at-31008-pm.png alt={TEXT?}] That is different from the options available from the `Devices` page where you can remove a camera from an account.

Hey @"oshawkat"#p33930 - remote adoption is done with the Hub-generated CLI setup command, not with a separate `oakctl adopt` command. From a machine that can reach the remote OAK4 network, use the Hub “add/adopt device” flow and choose the advanced CLI setup option. Hub will generate an `oakctl device setup apply-b64 ...` command. You can add `-d` to target the specific device by serial/IP, for example: ```bash oakctl device setup apply-b64 -d 374921464 ``` If the device needs to be put back into setup mode first: ```bash oakctl device setup start -d 374921464 ``` Then run the Hub-generated `apply-b64` command. Docs: [oakctl tool](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/oakctl) Regarding the device disappearing after deleting only an app installation: that does not sound expected. Deleting an app instance should not remove the device from the Hub team. Since the device is now shown as `Setup (unadopted)`, please re-adopt it with the Hub-generated CLI command above. Best, Oskar

@"OskarSonc"#p33937 Thank you! I was able to successfully adopt the device with your updated commands!

How to adopt OAK4 via `oakctl`?

oshawkat

How do we adopt an OAK4 (that has been setup) remotely? I see it can be done with the OAK Viewer but that requires that you be local. How do we do this with eg oakctl?

Background

I had multiple OAK4SW devices on a remote network that were all working and adopted in our team Luxonis Hub account. However, two days ago, one of the cameras disappeared from our account when I deleted an app (not in the offline tab; completely removed from the account). I could still see the device in oakctl and it showed as Setup & adopted. and I could install apps to it via oakctl but it couldn't access our private models

I deleted the app on the camera in question (serial number 374921464) via the Luxonis Hub. I selected the device from Devices then clicked on the app I wanted to delete, which brought me that specific instance of the App on that device. I clicked on the three dots in the upper right, which then showed the option to delete the app eg:

That is different from the options available from the Devices page where you can remove a camera from an account. I don't understand how removing an installation of an app removed the camera from our account

This is what our Hub account showed before I deleted the app on the camera showing 8 devices:

Once I deleted the app, there were just 7 devices on the account:

What I've Tried

Here is what oakctl device list showed before making any changes. Note that the device in question (serial number 374921464) is shown as Setup & adopted

However, I cannot find any oakctl commands that will allow me to adopt the camera to our Luxonis Hub account

Then run the Hub-generated apply-b64 command.

It didn't work before because I was following instructions according to Luxonis documentation that hasn't been updated. It was incorrect in at least two places:

OskarSonc

oshawkat - you are right. Those are old but should still be working, afaik.
Which command wasn't working?
Thanks for reporting.

Best,

oshawkat

OskarSonc The commands would run but not result in an adopted device

OskarSonc

oshawkat - hm that's weird. Thanks for reporting, will look into this.
