Review threshold readings from Adafruit IO in Telegram
Put the reading, threshold, and source in one message so you can decide what needs attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
A number without its expected range or device context is hard to interpret quickly.
- Include a supplied expected range alongside the reading.
- Make unusual readings easier to assess at a glance.
- Avoid treating an unspecified baseline as fact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Notis and name it for reading reviews.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to compare each supplied reading with its included threshold and explain the result briefly.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing a reading, threshold, device name, and units.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis know my device thresholds automatically?
Only if they are included in the request or otherwise available in the connected context. Supply the threshold and units for a meaningful comparison.
What happens when a reading has no threshold?
Instruct Notis to say the baseline is missing rather than infer whether the value is unusual.
