A quick project I built to allow myself to detect (IP address/UDP Broadcast) and control DAB+ / Volume on the (no longer available) IXION Maestro smart speaker. Written in Xcode 15 w/ Swift/SwiftUI as a wrapper for a HTML/Javascript page.

IXION Maestro

The why and how's

The IXION Maestro is (was?) a unique and groundbreaking hi-tech smart speaker invented and manufactured in a limited amount almost a decade ago. Although the company no longer exist, there is still quite a lot of people who still has the speaker at home - who's finding it harder and harder to operate as the software gets more and more outdated.

The iOS App disappeared from the Apple App store some time ago, so I decided to write a very rudimentary iOS App just to control the aspects of the speaker I still use - DAB+ Radio and the Volume control. Which includes IP detection by listening on UDP broadcasts from the speaker.

Personal motivation

We still use the speaker, but with no iOS app available - I decided to make exactly what I needed. And publish the code here so that if anyone else wants to clone the project to get a head start for their own speaker controller App - go right ahead.

Intellectual property and Copyrights

I am not affiliated with the current owners of the speaker, apps or software. This App was made from scratch by me in one Sunday afternoon by the use of publicly available information and technologies - without the use of any proprietary information, technology or know-how - and as such are in no breach of IPR or Copyrights.

Quality of code

Like stated above, this App was written to serve a very particular purpose in one afternoon - with no premeditated planning or process. The code quality reflects exactly that. Take it for what it is.
