is this possible to convert socket into django channels

[hemanth-sp]

hi,
I am integrating one device that device will send data using TCP protocol to given IP address this https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/python/Recieve+and+send+data+with+tcp+sockets+python works fine, using the IP address but how to convert into Django channels?

I am not sure how you want to integrate django channel with your application. I mean I am not sure whether you want to integrate on the sending side (the one sending data using TCP .... to someone else) / receiving side.

• Let's say you want to integrate django channel into the sending side
• Then, you need to also send your message, let's call it MX, (in Channels format) via Channel Layer to your database (redis usually) in your sending side
• Next, you need to code a consumer, let's call it CX, to react on MX accordingly
• Finally, mount your CX to a Worker. You will be good I think.

I think there's probably some confusion. TCP connection is a transport layer (4), whereas Websocket/HTTP happens a few layers higher on the application layer (7), so you cant "convert" it. You have to build an abstractions layers to make the data structure conforming the Websocket protocol (or whatever Application Layer Protocol you choose).
