Let's call it b64decode?

We can reopen this if it still is needed. |

It seems to be common practice (I have other examples than the original Google Core IOT) to send multiple IOT numeric payload fields combined into a single base64-encoded string. It would be useful to have methods to decode a base64 string, and then split the resulting (HEX) into multiple (InfluxDB-friendly) fields. Is there a reason why this feature request was apparently rejected? Can it be reopened? |

We could finalize this, can you comment over on the issue #4697 |

Thanks, will do. |
