Keep a regular record of a Bolt sensor value
Put a recurring sensor reading on autopilot and have the returned value waiting in your run report.
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
Remembering to check the same sensor repeatedly adds small tasks that are easy to miss during a busy day.
- Collect readings on a recurring schedule
- Reduce manual device checks
- Review the returned 0 to 1023 value in a report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Scheduled sensor snapshot.
- 3Tell Notis: Read the specified analog pin on the specified Bolt device and summarize the returned value.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real device and pin after confirming the device is online.
Questions about this workflow
What value does the analog read return?
The action reads the analog value for a specified pin, described as a value from 0 to 1023.
Does this automation check that the device is online first?
No. The analog read guidance says to confirm the device is online before reading. You should do that before relying on this scheduled workflow.
