This topic provides a sample script for parsing data from custom topics in Python.
Script Template
SELF_DEFINE_TOPIC_UPDATE_FLAG = '/user/update' #Custom topic: /user/update
SELF_DEFINE_TOPIC_ERROR_FLAG = '/user/update/error' #Custom topic: /user/update/error
# Convert data from devices to JSON data.The function is called when devices report data through a custom topic to IoT Platform.
# Input: A topic string. It is the topic for devices reporting messages.
# Input: A rawData list. The list elements must be of the Int type and cannot be empty.
# Output: A jsonObj dictionary. It cannot be empty.
def transform_payload(topic, rawData):
jsonObj = {}
return jsonObj
Example
Note The following script is used only to parse custom topic data. If the Data Format of the product is Custom, you also need to write a script for parsing TSL data. For more information about
parsing TSL data, see Example for parsing TSL data.
