Using Custom Connectors
You can use your custom connectors via service commissioning files, just like you use agents.
Code Example of a Service Commissioning File Template
In this example, you establish the connection via the agent and use the endpoints to fill in the required parameters for the corresponding protocol. Make sure that the agent name matches the agent name that you have specified in the docker-compose.yml
file in the Deploying Custom Connectors topic.
Now, you can develop your data model on the MQTT broker in Connectware like any other service, for example, via mappings.
