Getting large amount of data

Hi,
I have a device which sends a lot of data at once in json format, only it is coded and therefore using a REST sensor is not possible (1100bytes and over 3000bytes at once) as it is limited to 255 bytes input it seems.
I want to decode the datablock (usign crypto and base64) and get the resulting json into sensors. I do have the python code already outputting a decoded json running outside HA.

The best way forward is probably a custom component but also think of saving the output in a file and parse that from HA.
Anyone has any pointers in which direction to look.
thanks.

This should get you started: Multiple sensors in one REST call
