How it works
From Chrome to
your building system.
Open the trusted site in Chrome. The Matika extension passes its address to the Windows helper app, which displays the page using the legacy Windows browser component.
Open with Explorer-modus
Open the internal address in Chrome and click the Matika icon. You can also set up an automatic rule for IXON WebAccess.
Use your existing interface
The helper app opens the site. Sign in with your existing credentials and permissions for the system.
Installation
Install the
Windows pilot.
Use a Windows PC with Chrome 120 or later and a Silverlight installation managed by your organisation. You also need network access to any remote system you want to open.

- Tied to one Windows installation

Frequently asked
questions.
If you need help, tell your Matika contact your Windows version, Chrome version and the error message.
Does it work on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android?
Pilot 1.3.0 requires Chrome on Windows. For mobile access, ask your Priva installer whether Priva Building Operator is available for your system. Priva support.
How do I set up automatic opening through IXON?
Select the HTTP service in Fleet Manager → Services. Click the Matika icon, check the internal address and save the suggested rule. Grant access to IXON Portal when prompted.
My page does not open. What should I check?
Check your connection to the system, the address, your licence and your Silverlight installation. If your IXON WebAccess session expired, reopen the service from IXON Portal.
Is Silverlight still supported?
Microsoft Silverlight 5 support ended in October 2021. Use the pilot only for trusted sites in an environment managed by your organisation. Microsoft lifecycle information.
How do I remove the pilot?
Close the pilot tabs and any separate pilot windows. Run Verwijderen.cmd, then remove Matika Explorer-modus BETA from Chrome. Keep your .matika file in case you reinstall.
Pilot privacy
The extension stores your settings and rules in Chrome. With your permission, it can pass the required IXON WebAccess session cookies locally to the Windows helper app. The helper app uses those cookies to open the same IXON session.
To get a licence, share your device code with Matika. The licence file is verified locally. When asking for support, leave out passwords, session cookies and full URLs that contain access tokens.
