SharKNX sets a few fixed limits to keep the app fast and the KNX bus free of runaway traffic. This page collects them in one place. They apply to every plan unless stated otherwise - for the daily allowances of the free plan, see Subscription Plans.
When you reach a limit, the app tells you in place - the add button is disabled, a counter such as 15/15 is shown, or a message explains what to change.
Shark Hunts
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saved hunts | 25 | Delete old hunts before creating new ones. Importing is refused if it would take you over 25. |
| Actions per hunt | 25 | Send and monitor actions combined. |
| Commands per action | 15 | For actions that send a sequence of commands. |
| Delay between commands | 10 s | The longest wait you can set between two commands in a sequence. |
| Target group addresses per variable action | 15 | For actions that send a value you enter at run time. |
| Filter conditions per monitor action | 10 | |
| Addresses per group address or device address condition | 20 | Use wildcards (e.g. 1/*/* or 1.*.*) to cover more addresses with one entry. |
| Addresses per space or device selection | 750 | When a monitor action watches a building space or a set of devices. Pick a smaller space if the one you chose holds more. |
Imported hunt files are checked against the same limits as hunts you create in the app.
See Shark Hunts for how hunts, actions, and conditions fit together.
Monitor
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram buffer | 50 - 5000 (default 2000) | Set in Settings → Monitor Settings. Locked at 20 on the free plan. |
| Telegrams per imported ETS monitor file | 5000 | Files with more telegrams are rejected rather than partly imported - record a shorter log in ETS instead. |
Assistant
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt length | 4000 characters | |
| Separate commands per request | 4 | Split longer requests into several prompts. |
| Group addresses written per request | 50 | Also the most a group alias can usefully hold. Narrow the request by room or name to stay under it. |
| Steps in a command sequence | 15 | Same as a Shark Hunt sequence. |
| Wait between sequence steps | 10 s |
On the free plan the assistant also has a daily prompt allowance - see Subscription Plans. For alias and script file limits, see Alias and Script File Format.
Projects
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SharkNX Archive storage | 500 MB | A soft limit: when adding a project would exceed it, the app asks whether to add it anyway. If a project is loaded while the archive is full, it still opens but is not saved to the archive. Archived projects are never removed automatically. |
| Items per page in project lists | 20 - 200 (default 50) | Set in Settings → Project Settings. |
Programming mode scan
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Scan duration | 4 - 20 s (default 10 s) | Set in Settings → Scan Settings. |
| Scan interval | 3 - 4 s (default 3 s) |
