Read a Bolt sensor pin when an Adafruit IO alert arrives
When an Adafruit IO signal needs a second look, request a fresh analog reading from Bolt and put it in your run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Analog Read
Reads the analog value from a device pin.
Why this helps
A stored reading can raise a question, but checking another device's current sensor value means another manual step.
- Request a fresh analog value from a specified Bolt pin.
- Check device connectivity before reading the pin.
- Keep the alert context and returned reading in one run report.
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 to check whether the named Bolt device is online, then read the specified analog pin and report the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and configure Adafruit IO to send a request containing the Bolt device and pin details.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real alert; confirm the Bolt device is online and the pin is valid.
Questions about this workflow
What does the workflow need in the webhook request?
It needs to identify the Bolt device and the analog pin to read. Include those details in the request or specify them in your instruction.
What value does Bolt return?
The listed Analog Read action reads an analog value from 0 to 1023, after the device is confirmed online.
Does it read Adafruit IO history?
No. The available target action reads a Bolt pin. Any Adafruit IO reading or alert context must arrive in the webhook request.
