Review Bolt serial data on a schedule
Make serial data retrieval a routine task and keep the result where you review other run reports.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
Why this helps
Incoming serial data can be overlooked when checking it depends on remembering a separate manual step.
- Retrieve incoming serial data on a recurring schedule.
- Keep the UART initialization prerequisite visible.
- Review results in your selected 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.
- 3Describe reading incoming serial data from the specified device and reporting it; note UART must already be initialized with serialbegin.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example after UART is initialized.
