Integrate with ThingsBoard

[chamroeun ou]

I have deployed Thingsboard(Communitiy edition) and use it with a few sensors, I find it's very feature-rich and mature. But hard to customize the code, lack of scheduling and reporting(only Professional edition have them). My problem with it now is it seems to lack the sensor level code or maybe due to my limited knowledge of it.

So I want to use Mysensors with it by passing the data to thingsboard via Mysensors MQTT gateway. The question here is either to customize the Mysensors MQTT Payload format or use another tools in between.

Thanks for your suggestion or anyone have tried this before?

Thingsboard gateway is designed to translate formats. I have not used it for MySensors, but it works well for some other formats I have come across. https://thingsboard.io/docs/iot-gateway/config/mqtt/

@mfalkvidd , What is your suggestion for mapping Mysensors gateway to Thingsboard mqtt format? I have to update the Mysensors gateway code or override it or other smarter solution?

@chamroeun-ou the Thingsboard gateway is designed to do all sorts of mappings. You can write any mapping you like.

My idea is to customize the MySensor gateway and push data directly to Thingsboard cloud server.
If I use Thingsboard gateway, I will have to deploy Mysensors gateway anyway in order to intercept the incoming RF24 data, right?

What i have done so far is using my ESP32 to send sensors data(Not using Mysensors) to my cloud THingsboard using MQTT
