What this is, in plain words

Ixome Connection, a free app from the Microsoft Store for a Windows computer in your home. It finds your Control4 controller on your network so we can read it and back up your project. It only talks out to ixome.ai and opens nothing in your network to the outside. On its own it changes nothing on your system: it carries out only what you or we start from your Ixome account (a light from chat, say), and paid work happens only after you say yes to a quote. It runs while that computer is on. To remove it: Start → Settings → Apps → Ixome Connection → Uninstall (the Microsoft Store app), or double-click Uninstall-Ixome-Connection in its folder (the .zip).

Rather talk to a person first? Text your name and number to (734) 231-1940 and we'll call you back.

Or download it directly (for a PC without the Store; you type a code)

Your claim code

Use step 2 above to get your link. The next page has a direct download with your link built in, so there is nothing to type.

Single-use, expires in 24 hours. You type it into Ixome Connection when it asks.

1

Download Ixome Connection

Download it on a Windows PC in your home that stays on — a spare laptop or mini-PC is perfect. (A Linux build is here too, for a Linux machine that stays on.)

2

Run it

Downloads aren't runnable by default on Linux — open a terminal and run these two lines. Ixome Connection starts and asks for your code — type the code above.

chmod +x ~/Downloads/ixome-bridge-linux
~/Downloads/ixome-bridge-linux
3

Type your code

Type the code above when Ixome Connection asks. It links this device to your home and finishes setup automatically.

Prefer zero software? We can ship you a pre-configured Ixome Access Router instead — $489.99, plug it in and you're connected. Switch to the router →

Ixome Connection reads your system so we can watch its health. It changes something only when you or we start it from your Ixome account, and before a paid job changes your programming or software, we back up your project first.
