Get a sensor reading from a single request
Send a webhook with a Bolt device ID and analog pin. Notis checks connectivity before requesting the sensor reading.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Analog Read
Reads the analog value from a device pin.
Why this helps
Sensor checks often require switching between a request, a device dashboard, and a separate note to record the result.
- Check online status before requesting a reading.
- Keep the requested device and sensor result in one run.
- Reduce manual dashboard checks for one-off readings.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to check the specified Bolt device's online status and, if it is online, read the requested analog pin and report the value.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook request for an online device and a valid analog pin.
