Building your own parser

Building your own parser

In this tutorial, you will learn how to convert (parse) a raw payload sent by a device into actual measurable variables. 
Data flow structure

You can create parses for devices that weren't found in our list of Devices, so that you had to use a connector for Custom device. Or maybe, you just want to do some math with the data after the system runs its parser from the selected connector.


If you want to learn more about how data packages are sent to TagoIO, take a look at Integration. 

Tutorials

We have three available tutorials for you to understand how Payload Parser works.
