Notis

See Where a Device Event Happened and What Time It Was There

Send a device location event to Notis and get its locality and timezone alongside the coordinates.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Reverse Geocoding With Timezone API

Retrieves place names and time zone information for coordinates.

Why this helps

Device coordinates are hard to interpret quickly when you are debugging an event across regions or timezones.

  • Read a device location as a place name
  • See timezone information with the location
  • Reduce manual lookups during incident review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and Big Data Cloud once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a name and a prompt describing the location details you need.
  • 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Send a real webhook example containing device coordinates and test the result.

Questions about this workflow

What does this workflow need in the incoming event?

It needs latitude and longitude from the device event so Big Data Cloud can return reverse geocoding and timezone information.

Does Adafruit IO provide the trigger for this workflow?

No. Notis starts it when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request to the webhook.
