Compressed Payloads

Help
1

I’ve seen some conversation about compression/decompression in the forums, but didn’t find this exactly. We are migrating to a CBOR payload already, which is supported by Losant workflows. I’d like to consider using gzip or zlib to compress my payload at the edge, send to Losant over MQTT, and have a function node decompress is then a CBOR node to access the encoded payload?

Is that possible?

Function Nodes cannot do this, no. But we do have Zip / Unzip Nodes on our short-term roadmap, and those would be available on the edge and in the cloud. I’ll add your +1 to those use cases and follow up when we have those available.

That’s great Dylan. Zip/Unzip nodes would be perfect. Thanks for adding me as +1.
