The interface communicates with an Amadeus HotSOS Server via REST-API.
The interface synchronizes only the room data and not the events. If this is required, please contact Antcas Support.
Note: The interface is very slow when sending. It may take a moment for the value to appear in the monitor.
Individual polls are made by the Antcas Server via HTTPS to the HotSOS portal. The API URL is fixed and cannot be changed. Rooms previously defined in the HotSOS application and in the Antcas Config are queried. The poll limit is 30 queries per minute by default. The Antcas Server strictly adheres to the set policy to reduce the load on the other side and the network. This means that it may take several minutes for a change to reach the Antcas Server.
When starting the server, messages are always retrieved first, followed by all status messages being transferred. If there is an interim change on the HotSOS side, this results in the status arriving at the PLC first and then being sent again.
If a connection error occurs, the query is automatically repeated after the timeout is reached. The error message appears only once in the monitor. If no connection is established within the set connection timeout, the interface is also declared offline.
The target address is the server address without URI and https:// prefix.
Note: When using a proxy server, ensure that the URI path does not change.
