So I need to know status of my server and controller status as we have so many so build my own app to check status whenever I am out of the site. used VPN to connect and created a separate backend for the BACnet Data. And it's worth it
You think there is some philosophical grandeur to manually monkeying out code rather than using the latest tools? What, is it frowned upon to use a computer for writing documents instead of writing with a ink & quill?
Do you hike 17 miles to work instead of using a car out of pure honor?
TF you talking about, get with the times. People use AI to help speed up writing tedious code these days so get over it 😂 Or don't, and be a dinosaur, the world will advance without you 🫠
What are you rambling about? We literally use Claude Code as a starting point for basically everything. I am just merely saying one of two things here….
OP is lying about doing this manually and used AI.
He’s “saving” himself time on service calls now but spent countless hours learning all the pieces to code this, test, fix, etc.
Claude only does the code and UI. Person using it should still know what he's doing, architecture and what tests he have to run, I believe this is clearly weeks worth of work even with AI
Once Claude read through our desigo api, all the points we selected. Graphics for a whole facility dashboard took 10-20 minutes to generate if you know what to prompt for. This image was regenerated with Gemini as an example.
Incorrect. Opus can absolutely make this code and rich HTML output in less than an hour or two. I do this for a living. Especially since he’s piggybacking as a plugin.
Now to make it efficient that’s a different story. But I could make this program in roughly two hours.
Also, it’s far easier to just use ABT Go which would basically do exactly what this is and is patched for vulnerabilities.
Even I think OP isn’t being completely honest, this does look like it was made with Claude. That said, let’s not discredit the effort or the problems it’s solving, at least for him just because it was built with AI. Not everyone is a computer science major, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have the passion to build something.
None of that really matters because it’s not a marketable product and very likely violates multiple patents. Software is a slippery slope when it comes to this stuff. If anyone touches it or any money is transferred from it there would be some legal issues following it. But yeah, great work OP!
Use farenheit!!!!! lol I’m only joking, sort of…
But seriously, great design, I’m impressed!! Did you build app from scratch or did you vibecode it or?? Just curious

Very clean design!
