Support for Protobuf decoding of payloads
Don't you need the actual schema for each model to be able to decode Protobuf messages?

I would really like this feature. Would it be possible to select/import a proto file for a given topic ?

Sorry late response on this :D Yes, you would need to assign the relevant .proto file for the coresponding topic
Would love to see this too. Moving to protobuf as standard for all of our payloads
@thomasnordquist, are you happy for a PR?
If so, is there any thing you would like us to consider?
cheers
I have a working proof of concept that I could share. Any suggestions how to integrate this feature in the UI?
I was kind of stunned to see this tool (which is pretty slick!) doesn't support sparkplug B protobuf decoding, I would think this would at a minimum would make sense given it is a popular industry standard. Proto file details located here.
it is, but MQTT has so much more than just industrial control, and i would imagine that the use of sparkplug doesnt even register on the use of MQTT.
But very cool that someone has implemented protobuf de-serialisation. my next issue is that we Gzip our payloads prior to sending to reduce the size.

@thomasnordquist - curious to see what kind of help you'd need on your end - this would be a great add to an already helpful tool!
Duplicate? I believe support sparkplug decoding is supported in master, not released yet though.
