Notis

Collect a scheduled Bolt sensor reading

Have Notis fetch the sensor value on a routine schedule so you can review it without remembering to check.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Manual sensor checks interrupt work and make it harder to maintain a consistent record.

  • Collect readings on a recurring schedule.
  • Confirm the device is online before reading.
  • Keep run results in one report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 2chat and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to confirm the device is online, read the specified analog pin, and report the value.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example using an online device and known pin.
