Send a scheduled Bolt heartbeat
Keep a routine device check running while you focus elsewhere.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Why this helps
Heartbeat routines are easy to skip during busy periods, making communication gaps harder to spot.
- Keeps a communication routine consistent
- Creates regular execution evidence
- Reduces forgotten maintenance steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Bolt iot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that sends your specified ASCII heartbeat command to the Bolt device.
- 3Choose the recurring schedule trigger.
- 4Choose the report channel.
- 5Test with one real heartbeat.
Questions about this workflow
Does a heartbeat prove the device responded?
No. It confirms the serial write ran; use serial write and read to capture a reply.
Must UART be ready?
Yes. The device must be initialized for serial communication.

Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'

Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
