[HELP] Custom Converter for FTP Connector

Open yohnnylim opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the issue I am using some old sensors where its only able to send out data on a file to FTP location, but the file comes with some headers and I would like read the file and extract the data using custom data converter. I saw some samples of MQTT and serial custom converter, but there is no sample for FTP custom converter, would appreciate if anyone could share some samples how to create the custom FTP converter.

Connector name (If you need help with some connector/converter): Custom FTP Converter

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • OS:Windows 11
  • Thingsboard IoT Gateway version [e.g. 3.5.1]
  • Python version[e.g. 3.9]

Did it work out for you @yohnnylim? I was looking to make changes to the existing ftp converter so I can read .dat files. I'm just not sure if it will create any issues and I better make a custom FTP.

@samson0v What would you recommend? Change the existing FTP connector in the connectors folder or make an custom connector.
