Plistor is a specialized application for designing and controlling heating and climate systems. Users draw building layouts on an interactive canvas, place HVAC components, and manage everything from device configuration to live operational commands.

What It Does

The platform combines visual design with real-time device control:

  • Canvas-based layout designer — Draw floor plans and position system components
  • Multi-floor support — Design entire buildings, floor by floor
  • Device placement — Add heating units, climate controls, sensors, and other elements
  • Live communication — Each element connects to a Node-RED server for real-time commands
  • Configuration management — Set device parameters and operational settings
  • Operational control — Monitor and adjust system behavior from the dashboard

How It Works

Users start by creating a visual representation of their building — drawing rooms, floors, and spaces on the canvas. Then they place HVAC components where they exist in the real installation. Each component on the canvas maps to actual hardware, communicating through Node-RED to send commands and receive status updates.

The result is a visual control center where operators can see their entire heating and climate infrastructure at a glance and manage it in real time.

Our Role

Our development team built the complete solution:

  • Frontend application — The canvas-based design interface and dashboard
  • Backend infrastructure — Data management, user accounts, project storage
  • Node-RED integration — Real-time communication layer with physical devices
  • Device management — Configuration and control systems for HVAC components

The Result

Plistor gives HVAC professionals a powerful tool to visualize, design, and control climate systems. What used to require separate tools for planning and operation now lives in one integrated platform.
