Yaka bridges the gap between the Linn Konfig application (now retired) and the cloud based Manage Systems.

The key features of Yaka are:

Linn Device discovery on local networks
View core configuration information for each discovered Linn device
Access Manage Systems directly from each of the discovered Linn devices
Reboot a Linn device
Update the firmware on a Linn device
Login to your Linn account
List/Manage all devices associated with your Linn account (Cloud)
Associate a device with your Linn account
Disassociate a device on the local network from any Linn account
Recover a Linn device - wiping settings
Recover a Linn device - preserving settings
It does not provide any settings configuration - this is all done in Manage Systems
Runs on graphical desktop operating systems: Windows, MacOS (Apple Silicon), MacOS (Intel), Linux (deb)

Yaka is a tool designed primarily for Linn Dealers to support their customers, but may be used by anyone.

Typically used either on site during installation or remotely for support (using TeamViewer or similar).
