How it works
From your controllers to your phone, in three pieces.
Rotorloop doesn't replace your control system. It sits on top of it, reads what it reports, and sends changes only within limits you set.
The Rotorloop Connector
A small program installed on any Windows or Linux computer that's already on the building network: a facilities PC, a server, or a small dedicated box.
- Finds your equipment. It scans for controllers, such as BACnet devices, and lists everything they report.
- Speaks each system's language. One driver per protocol or brand, all feeding the same Rotorloop model.
- Enforces the safety rules. Every requested change is checked at the site before it reaches a controller.
- Keeps working offline. If the internet drops, your building keeps running on its own controls, and active holds still end on time.
Outbound only
The Connector opens one encrypted connection out to Rotorloop. You don't open firewall ports, and controllers are never put on the internet. Each Connector has its own credential that an admin can revoke at any time.
The Rotorloop app
One app for phone and desktop. Rooms colored by how far they are from target, a dial to change a target "for 2 hours", a record of every change, and roles: viewers look, operators adjust, admins decide what may be adjusted.
What setup looks like
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Install the Connector | Your IT or integrator | One command on a computer on the building network, then paste the connector token from your Rotorloop account. |
| 2. Discover equipment | Rotorloop | The Connector lists the devices and points it can read. |
| 3. Map rooms | Your admin, with suggestions | Rotorloop suggests what each point is (e.g. SPACE_TEMP → room temperature) and which room it belongs to. A person confirms. |
| 4. Allow changes | Your admin | Everything starts read-only. Choose which targets may be adjusted, and within what limits. |
| 5. Invite the team | Your admin | Give people the right role: viewer, operator or admin. |
Step times depend on the site. We'll publish real figures once early-access sites are live.
