Look into a device reading that needs attention

When a reading looks unusual, run a focused query and get the relevant returned data summarized in one report.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Execute ClickHouse Query

Runs a database query and returns the results.

Why this helps

An unexpected reading can become a context switching spiral when you have to reconstruct the query and inspect raw output yourself.

  • Investigate a named device, feed, or time range when those details are supplied.
  • Get query output summarized without overstating what it proves.
  • Start an investigation through an HTTP request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Ask Notis to query the supplied device, feed, or time range and summarize evidence relevant to the suspected reading.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

Will this automatically decide that a reading is an anomaly?

It can investigate a suspected reading, but a valid threshold or expected range must come from you or the data. The workflow should not invent one.

What details should I include in the request?

Include the device or feed identifier, relevant time range, and what looks unusual when those details are available.
