Keep a recurring sensor snapshot easy to find
Set a schedule for a Bolt device and pin, then let Notis check the connection and request a reading each time it runs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Analog Read
Reads the analog value from a device pin.
Why this helps
Periodic readings are easy to forget when they depend on remembering to open a device dashboard.
- Automate a repeatable sensor check.
- See connectivity alongside the reading attempt.
- Keep each scheduled run's result in Notis reports.
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 device's online status and read the chosen analog pin when it is online.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example using the device ID and analog pin you plan to monitor.
Questions about this workflow
Can this alert me when the reading crosses a threshold?
The listed analog read action provides a reading, but no threshold or historical baseline is specified here. Include any threshold you want Notis to assess in your instruction.
Does Notis store a baseline automatically?
No baseline behavior is specified. Supply the comparison value or rule in your instruction if you want readings assessed against one.
