Decoder Function

Decoder Functions in Qubitro allow you to decode incoming payloads.

Overview

Decoder Functions in Qubitro allow you to decode incoming payloads before storing data.

Depending on your device type and data format, you can choose from different decoder options to ensure data is structured correctly.

Once a decoder function is created, it runs automatically for incoming data without requiring manual activation.

If needed, the function can be disabled from the functions list under the device’s Functions tab without deleting it.

Choosing the Right Decoder

Qubitro provides three types of decoders, each suited for different integration needs:

LoRaWAN Device Template Decoder

Use this option if your LoRaWAN device has a predefined template in Qubitro. It allows you to automatically decode incoming payloads without writing custom logic.

• Works with all LNS providers (The Things Stack, ChirpStack, etc.).

• Requires no custom scripting—simply select a template from the portal.

• Ensures consistent and accurate decoding based on manufacturer specifications.

If you use the LoRaWAN Device Template Decoder, device templates for dashboards will work automatically, enabling instant visualization of decoded data.

LoRaWAN Custom Device Decoder

Use this option if your LoRaWAN device does not have a predefined template. You can write custom JavaScript to decode payloads manually.

• Works with all LNS providers (The Things Stack, ChirpStack, etc.).

• Requires custom JavaScript to parse incoming payloads.

• Ideal for custom or new LoRaWAN devices that are not yet available as templates.

LoRaWAN Custom Decoder

HEX Payload Decoder

Use this option if your device sends data in hex-encoded format instead of JSON. It converts hex-encoded strings into structured JSON.

• Works with non-LoRaWAN devices, including MQTT, HTTP, Onomondo, and more.

• Converts hex-encoded strings into readable JSON.

• Useful for devices that cannot publish raw JSON directly.
