Why this helps
When a sensor alert calls for a simple device response, moving from the alert to the device controls adds friction and room for mistakes.
- Trigger a specified digital output from an incoming alert.
- State the intended HIGH or LOW value in plain language.
- Get a run report showing the command outcome.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which Bolt device and digital pin to control, and the conditions and value that should trigger HIGH or LOW.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and configure Adafruit IO to send an alert request containing the needed device and signal details.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real alert and a safe, known output.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow decide whether to set the pin high or low?
Yes, if your instruction defines the decision clearly and the webhook request includes the needed alert details. The action sets a specified pin HIGH or LOW.
Does this action verify the device is online first?
The listed digital write actions do not include an online check. If connectivity must be checked first, create a separate workflow using the Bolt online status action.
What should I include in the alert request?
Include enough context to identify the Bolt device and the condition for the requested output. Specify the pin and desired HIGH or LOW behavior in your automation instruction.
