Nexus Controller Manager
Nexus Controller Manager is the desktop app for discovering and managing multiple Nexus Ultime Prop Controllers at once. It is available for Mac and Windows and while not required can make a big quality of life improvement, especially if you have several controllers.
It’s features include, automatic controller discovery anywhere on your network, configuration backup management, fleet-wide firmware updates and a single place to access everything.
Manager workflow
- Connect your computer to the same network as the controllers.
- Open Nexus Controller Manager. Discovery will automatically begin and run continuously.
- Search/Filter the controllers by Room, Device name, IP, or firmware version.
What to use it for
| Task | Why Manager helps |
|---|---|
| Discovery | Finds controllers without remembering every IP |
| Opening UI | Launches the Operator page quickly |
| Fleet check | Shows names and versions across multiple controllers |
| Firmware update | Helps manage updates without browsing every device manually |
| Diagnostics | Collects data for troubleshooting and support |
| Backup | Pull backup configuration files for the entire fleet |
Make discovery useful
Set Device name and Room name on each controller. Names like controller1 are difficult to use once hardware is installed. Names like bookcaseDoor, radioCabinet, and finalLock make Manager useful during service. Also remember to use the Room name field to alow simple filtering by room.
