Why this helps
Routine checks are easy to postpone when they require remembering to open the right browser context.
- Starts a browser session at a recurring interval for planned monitoring.
- Makes routine dashboard inspection easier to remember and begin.
- Keeps scheduled checks distinct from urgent, event-driven investigations.
Setup

- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Anchor browser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the routine check.
- 3Tell Notis to start a browser session on schedule for inspecting the IoT dashboard or reference site you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test once and confirm the session starts at the expected time.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow open a specific dashboard?
Starting a session does not itself navigate to a page. Specify the intended inspection context in the prompt and use a separate navigation action if required.
Can I run this only when a device reading changes?
This package uses a recurring schedule or a webhook because no Adafruit IO trigger events are listed.
