Look up context when an IoT reading raises a question
Send a reading and a question to Notis, then receive ranked search results that help you investigate the signal.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search Web
Searches the web index and returns ranked results.
Why this helps
A surprising reading can send you searching across tabs without a clear starting point.
- Start research from the reading that prompted it.
- Get ranked web results for a supplied question.
- Keep the original question and results together in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and DeepSeek once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to use the supplied reading and question to search for relevant external context and summarize the results.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real reading with a research question and review the results.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow search automatically for every reading?
It runs when the webhook is called. Your sending system can include a question when you want research.
Are the search results sensor-specific facts?
No. They are external web results. Provide the reading details and question so Notis can explain how the results may relate.
