Answer 1

@muhammed khalifa Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

Could you share more details about the scenario? What kind of device are you referring to? As you have mentioned, the device is non-programmable. If you are you able to use gateway, then you can use Azure IoT protocol gateway to enable protocol adaptation for IoT Hub.

Azure IoT Hub natively supports communication over the MQTT, AMQP, and HTTPS protocols. In some cases, devices or field gateways might not be able to use one of these standard protocols and require protocol adaptation. In such cases, you can use a custom gateway. A custom gateway enables protocol adaptation for IoT Hub endpoints by bridging the traffic to and from IoT Hub. You can use the Azure IoT protocol gateway as a custom gateway to enable protocol adaptation for IoT Hub.

Please see Support additional protocols for IoT Hub and IoT Hub Device Streams (preview) for more details.

Do let us know if that helps. I will further enquire and update if there is a direct way you can connect these device to IoT Hub.

My device is a Chinese OBD-II device that works on TCP/IP protocol in this device I have only permission to change the IP address and port number

I found this documentation confusing I am not able to figure where exactly I have to make a change and also I am not able to get any of the tutorials regarding this type of integration can you explain to me or share the link if anyone had worked on this IoT protocol gateway.

Can you provide details on what it is posting to the given IP/Port? Is it just sending a RAW HEX payload to a given IP address?

yes it is RAW HEX data send by the device to the given IP address
