Turn Adafruit IO Device Photos into Readable Text
Send a confirmed image URL with an Adafruit IO update and let Astica AI extract its text for quick review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
ASTICA_READ_TEXT
Extract text from an image.
Why this helps
Important readings or labels may be visible in a device image but hard to scan while juggling other work.
- Make text in device photos easier to review
- Keep image source confirmation in the instruction
- Reduce manual transcription from project images
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Astica AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use Astica AI OCR on the image URL in each request only after its source is confirmed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real request with a confirmed image URL to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start from a built-in Adafruit IO event?
No. Adafruit IO has no trigger events in this setup. A webhook request starts the automation.
What does Astica AI do here?
The ASTICA_READ_TEXT action performs OCR on an image to extract text, after the image source is confirmed.
What should the webhook request include?
Include an image URL and enough context to confirm where that image came from. The workflow prompt should tell Notis to skip images without confirmed sources.
