Put recurring Bolt serial checks on the same operating rhythm as document work
A recurring review helps surface serial data without relying on someone to remember a separate device check during a busy workday.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Reads incoming serial data from a device.
Why this helps
Device information can be easy to overlook when document and template work keeps pulling attention elsewhere.
- Review incoming serial data on a predictable schedule.
- Keep recurring device checks visible in Notis run reports.
- Avoid relying on memory for routine operational reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to read incoming serial data from the specified Bolt device for the recurring operations review.
- 4Pick the schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Run it once against a real device and review the returned serial data.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow initialize UART?
No. The listed serial read action applies when UART has already been initialized with serialbegin.
Does the schedule inspect ActiveMerge documents automatically?
No ActiveMerge trigger or read action is listed here. The schedule starts the Notis run; the instruction can frame the Bolt serial read as part of a recurring document operations review.
