Send out-of-range device readings for review
Make unusual readings easy to spot and investigate without alerting on every update.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Publish Message
Publish a message to a channel for its subscribers.
Why this helps
A reading can look unusual only in context, and that context may be easy to forget.
- Compare readings with a baseline you provide.
- Publish a message only when a reading falls outside the stated range.
- Include the event context available in the webhook payload.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Provide the expected range and describe what the review message should include.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send reading payloads to its HTTP endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one reading inside and one outside the range.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis learn a baseline from past Adafruit IO readings?
No baseline is specified by the available source context. Supply the range or comparison data in the instruction or payload.
What happens to readings inside the range?
The instruction can ask Notis to skip publishing a message for readings inside the range.
