How Nexus Works

Keep what works. Make it all feel like one home.

Nexus lives locally, works with your own media and sits comfortably above the systems you already trust.

Six straightforward steps

The clever parts stay behind the scenes. The simple part is what you live with.

01

Give Nexus a home.

Install Nexus Server on a Windows PC or Mac in your home. It runs locally and quietly powers the experience on every screen.

02

Point it towards your library.

Connect the films, television, music, radio and photos you already keep on compatible local or network storage. Nexus turns them into a library that is a pleasure to browse.

03

Tell it where you watch and listen.

Add compatible speakers and music platforms such as Music Assistant and Lyrion Music Server, then bring video to each room with Nexus TV Endpoint or Apple TV.

04

Bring across the controls that matter.

Import devices, lighting and automations from Home Assistant or Homey. Webhooks keep other compatible systems within reach too.

05

Keep an eye on home.

Bring in supported Ubiquiti and Ring cameras or compatible RTSP streams, along with the door, window and alarm status you want to see at a glance.

06

Make it yours.

See the whole home in Global View or settle into one room. However you move through Nexus, everything stays familiar and easy to find.
