Point settings
How admins decide which points may be changed and within what limits.
A point is one value a controller reports: a room temperature, a setpoint, a fan command. Point settings are where admins decide what may be changed from Rotorloop. Settings are sent to the site's Connector, which enforces them, so they apply even to requests that never pass through the app.
The settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Allow changes | Off by default. Turn on only for points people should adjust, such as room setpoints. |
| Lowest / highest | The allowed range for numbers. A request outside it is refused and recorded. |
| Longest hold | The longest a hold may last on this point, up to 12 hours. |
| Minimum time between changes | Stops the same point being changed again too soon. |
Readings show Reading only and can't be made changeable. Life-safety points stay locked whatever is saved.
Change a point's settings
- Open Admin › Point settings and search by room, unit or point name.
- Tick Allow changes and set the range and longest hold.
- Save. Active at the site means the Connector has the new setting.
If you turn off Allow changes while a hold is active on that point, the hold ends at once and the equipment goes back to its schedule.
Good starting values
- Room cooling and heating setpoints: allow, within the range your building already uses (often 68–76 °F / 20–24 °C).
- Occupancy or mode: allow only where an occupied override makes sense, such as meeting rooms.
- Fan, damper, valve and staging commands: leave read-only unless your controls contractor recommends otherwise.
