Hear important Adafruit IO readings as they happen
Route a sensor alert through Notis and get a concise spoken update you can listen to while focused on other work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Text to speech
Converts text into speech and returns an audio file.
Why this helps
Sensor alerts can get buried in dashboards and notifications when you are busy or away from your screen.
- Hear the feed name, reading, and breached threshold in one short message.
- Keep attention on work without repeatedly checking an Adafruit IO dashboard.
- Use the ElevenLabs audio output as the run result for your chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ElevenLabs in Notis and configure Adafruit IO to send its alert payload to a Notis webhook URL.
- 2Create a new automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize the feed, reading, threshold, and timestamp from each incoming alert, then speak that summary with ElevenLabs.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test the automation with one real Adafruit IO alert payload.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow monitor Adafruit IO feeds by itself?
No. Adafruit IO must send an alert payload to the Notis webhook, such as through an existing webhook or custom backend.
What should the alert payload include?
Include the feed name, reading, threshold or alert reason, and timestamp if available. Notis can only summarize details present in the payload.
Can I choose a voice?
The prompt can request an available ElevenLabs voice, but the selected voice must be accessible to your ElevenLabs connection.
