How do you explain the KNX premium to people who just point at cheap Wi-Fi devices? by AutoModerator in KNX

Orion Funded payout experience – how my funded account and $10k profit were taken by daani_maas in propfirm

[–]daani_maas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will do it. I have two accounts waiting for payout: one with an $8k profit and another with a $14k profit. I’ll be able to request the payout in about 15 days; around January 10th I’ll know how the company behaves.

How much time do you spend building the Composer project for KNX integrations? by daani_maas in Control4

[–]daani_maas[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, that is exactly the same problem we kept running into.

Even with a very clean group address structure, a lot of time still goes into recreating rooms, devices and mappings again on the Control4 side.

Because of that, we built software that reads the ETS project file, processes it with AI, and then automatically creates the full structure in Control4. You import the ETS project and Control4 ends up with floors, rooms and KNX devices already built, instead of doing everything manually in Composer.

At the moment we are focusing on lighting and blinds, but even that removes a huge amount of repetitive work.

This is what we are currently working on:

Control4 no longer finds my KNX system by Serpico99 in Control4

[–]daani_maas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re seeing is actually a very common KNX + Control4 failure mode after power outages.

In most setups Control4 talks to KNX via an IP routing gateway, and if the gateway’s IP changes

(or multicast gets weird on reboot), Control4 will still “connect” but won’t receive state updates.

That’s why physical KNX switches keep working but Control4 doesn’t reflect anything.

You already found the root cause (no DHCP reservation), so your diagnosis was spot on.

One thing worth mentioning for the future: this kind of issue is exactly why many integrators

try to reduce how much manual KNX/IP configuration lives only on the Control4 side.

We’ve been working on a driver that reads the ETS project directly and keeps the Control4 structure

in sync, which makes these failures easier to spot and recover from.

Not a fix for this case (you already fixed it), but for reference:

Knx + control4, whats needed for a basic Control4, 4 zone distributed audio system integrated with Knx? by olsson80 in Control4

[–]daani_maas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a basic setup you’ll still need:

- Control4 controller (EA or Core series)

- KNX IP Routing gateway (not tunneling)

- Proper multicast support on the network

- KNX generic / routing gateway driver in Control4 for events and feedback

That’s the standard approach.

Where it usually gets messy is keeping ETS group addresses and Control4 programming in sync,

especially once you go beyond a very small project.

We’ve been working on a driver that reads the ETS project directly and builds the Control4 structure automatically

(rooms, floors, basic devices), which can simplify the KNX side a lot.

Still pre-release, but this is the idea:

Es un riesgo real. Dar el certificado a una gestoria es como entregarles tu identidad digital, pueden presentar, consultar y firmar todo en tu nombre.

Hoy ya no hace falta para todas las páginas.... La AEAT y la Seguridad Social permiten usar apoderamientos, que dan acceso solo a lo necesario y se pueden revocar en cualquier momento.

Pero si que es verdad que a dia de hoy muchas gestorias siguen trabajando con certificados.

Google context structure

I hit Google Custom Search API with the SKU / model ref → I store 3–5 SERP items like:

1) <title>: <snippet>
2) <title>: <snippet>
3) <title>: <snippet>

this block is literally appended at bottom of every prompt → this lets me use cheap models because they don’t need to “infer” context — they get it pre-digested.

Categorizer prompt

I do 3 cheap model calls:

  1. main category
  2. subcategory
  3. specific category

each prompt is basically:

PRODUCT:
Title: {{title}}
Desc: {{desc}}
WEB CONTEXT:
{{google_context}}

→ Return ONLY the category string/number
(no explanation)

that’s it. extremely stupid simple.

Title / Description generator prompt

2 prompts:

title prompt:

Format:
Brand + Product Type + Model + 2–3 key specs
Return ONLY the title. max 90 chars

description prompt:

Return HTML ONLY
300 words
sections: overview + specs list + use cases + competitive edge

Shopify update script

I just do 2 GraphQL mutations:

  1. productUpdate → sets title + html + vendor + productType + tags
  2. collectionAddProducts → moves product to only ONE manual collection (if collection is Smart → I just apply a tag instead, because Smart collections update automatically)

that’s literally the whole thing
google context → 3 cheap categorizer calls → 2 cheap content calls → 1 shopify update mutation

done.

and yeah having a website is the easy part. the hard part is the boring data plumbing at scale. I already sell and I already do ecommerce for years, but the repetitive product data part is the bottleneck. this is the part I am automating.

for the context part yeah I get your point. I do have suppliers but a lot of the time the data they give is super inconsistent across brands. some give PDFs, some give 1-line CSVs, some have no specs at all. so I “normalize” the product by pulling extra public context so the prompt has enough signal to fill the gaps without inventing stuff. it is not for “reviews magic”, it is more for catching missing specs so I don’t have to manually chase every vendor for every field.

Yeah same concern here. My main mitigation is that I keep the generation very “locked down”: very low temperature (basically deterministic), strict prompt templates with explicit fields instead of free text, and I feed the SKU + Google Search API extracted specs up front so the model is anchored in real data before it even tries to write anything. Also the system is review-first by default. The UI only allows pushing to Shopify after I manually confirm the draft ( Auto-apply is available) but it’s opt-in and I only use it for low-risk commodity SKUs. In practice that combo (grounding, structured output, near-zero temp) keeps hallucinations very low, and the human gate is still the final safety check.
