How to add a new payload format to Lora Network Server

Hi,

After some research I didn’t found how to add custom format into the applications of the built in Lora Server, maybe you have some ideas about this.

Issue: I would like to add new payload formats to the list in Application configuration of the lora Network Server (see below) so as to avoid the decoding after the MQTT broker. I would prefer transmit decoded data to the MQTT broker.
Is it possible to add new formats to the application, or at least a custom one like we can do in TTN console.

Setup:
LoRa® Server:Built in Lora Server on RAK7249

Details:
Application Server integration: MQTT

Regards

Hello @Florian,

This is not currently available. There is to be a new firmware release soon, that will include this functionality, if I am not mistaken.
@yutao can probably tell you more :slight_smile:

Any updates to this? I just posted the same question in regards to a wisgate edge lite 2… Would really like a way to add custom payload formats to the built-in server.

@Hobo or @yutao ?

Thanks,
Jason

it looks like they prioritize their own hardware. custom payload decoders obviously will not be supported. but you should consider milesight gatways/servers - they provide custom payload decoders.

I have been told for well over 18 months that new firmware will be available and none has been forthcoming. I was also told I would be added to the beta programme where I would be able to setup a new type of payload decoder ( javascript). as an extension I signed a non-disclosure but never received the software.

Too be honest I have stopped asking as the latest version 2.2.10 doesnt have anything in it nor is there anything I can see in the docs that allow this.

I do wish RAK would get off the fence and either commit to delivering or stating they will not.
