Mews

Mews is an Hotel management software that can be integrated in HSYCO with an API connection. The current release of the I/O Server has been tested with the Mews Connector API.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a MEWS I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

High Availability

• Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
clienttoken		<key>	mews client token
accesstoken		<key>	mews access token
startupevents	false	true	generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
		false	start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system
useidasdatapoints	false	true	use the ID as the resources datapoint name
		false	use the name as the resources datapoint name
pollingtime	10000	>= 0	time in milliseconds that HSYCO will wait before the next API check. If 0 or less than 10000 defaults to 10000
demoenv	false	true	the driver will connect to the Mews demo sandbox. It should be used for testing purposes
		false	if true, the driver will connect to the client’s instance specified by the access and client tokens
booleanvalueformatlegacymode	false	true	all boolean datapoint values will be written as 1 or 0 as "true" or "false"
		false	all boolean datapoint values will be written as 1 or 0
enableverbosedump	false	true	when verbose logging is enabled, all requests and responses sent to the Connector API are logged in detail
		false	when verbose logging is disabled, requests and responses are not logged to the log files. No request details are written

Polling

The MEWS I/O Server operates by periodically polling key data sources: Configuration, Services, and Departments are updated every 12 hours, with an option for manual refresh (see Request Refresh below). Customers, Companies, Resources, and Reservations (check-ins) are refreshed every 10 seconds, ensuring real-time updates and responsiveness.

Tasks

ID	Value	R/W	Description

New Task Example

In this example HSYCO is using the following format to create a new task:

INIT : {
     var obj = new Object();
     obj.Name = "Clean room 101";
     obj.Description = "Start cleaning the room 101 asap";
     obj.DeadlineUtc = "2023-02-06T18:00:00Z";
     obj.DepartmentId = "915fbb82-de35-48a0-9e9b-f4a7eac711bb";
     var jsonString = JSON.stringify(obj);
     ioSet("mews.task.new", jsonString);
 }

Where "DepartmentId" is the id of the department with the task is assignd to, you can get this id reading the "mews.department" datapoints in HSYCO and "mews." is the name of the mews I/O Server in HSYCO
