rotorloop

Building & industrial control · in early access

Every machine, one loop.

Rotorloop connects to the control systems you already have, whoever made them, and gives your team one clear app to watch and safely adjust equipment from a phone or a desk.

No more hunting for an IP address and a password to reach each vendor's screen.

Rotorloop is in development. The product samples on this page use the real app’s design with a simulated building.

01 — The problem

Every vendor ships its own screen.

A typical building runs rooftop units on one system, split units on another and meters on a third. Each has its own web page behind its own IP address, login and 1990s layout. Changing a room's temperature for an event means finding the right one, the right password and the right screen.

What Rotorloop does
Capabilities in the current build
One list of every room and machineEquipment from different manufacturers shows up the same way: rooms, readings, targets, what each unit is doing.
Colors you can read at a glanceEach room is shaded by how far it is from its target: deeper blue is colder, deeper orange is warmer.
4°+ belowon target4°+ above
Changes that end on their ownSet a room to 69° "for 2 hours" and it goes back to its normal schedule by itself. Nobody leaves a unit stuck on manual.
Phone and desktopThe same app on a facilities manager's desk and in a technician's pocket.
A record of every changeWho changed what, from what to what, and whether the equipment accepted it.
02 — How it connects

A small connector on site. Nothing exposed to the internet.

The Rotorloop Connector runs on a computer already on the building network. It talks to your controllers in their own language and dials out to Rotorloop. No inbound firewall ports, and no controllers put on the internet.

On site

Your controllers

Rooftop units, air handlers, VRF systems, pumps, meters. Any brand.

On site

Rotorloop Connector

Reads equipment, applies safety rules, keeps hold timers running even if the internet drops.

Your team

03 — Safety

Built to be trusted with real equipment.

A control app can damage equipment or make a building unsafe if it's careless. These rules are enforced at the site, before anything reaches a controller.

  1. Read-only until you say otherwiseNothing can be changed until an admin allows it, point by point.
  2. Safe limits on every pointOut-of-range values are refused before they're sent.
  3. Every hold has an end timeControl returns to the building's own logic automatically.
  4. Never life-safety systemsFire and smoke control points are never written. That can't be switched on.

04 — Integrations

A few protocols. Dozens of brands.

Most building and plant equipment speaks BACnet or Modbus, directly or through a gateway. That includes Niagara, Metasys, Desigo and Trane systems, and VRF systems from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and LG. So those two drivers come first. Each later integration plugs into the same app, so new brands don't mean new screens to learn.
