Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
Why this helps
Serial checks are easy to postpone when you have to leave your inbox and find the device workflow.
- Start a serial read from an email request.
- Keep the request and its run report together.
- Use the existing UART setup on the specified device.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Bolt iot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction which device to read when an email requests serial data.
- 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request for a device whose UART is initialized with serialbegin.
Questions about this workflow
Does this initialize UART?
No. The listed action reads incoming serial data after UART has been initialized with serialbegin.
What details should I include?
Specify how to identify the Bolt device from the email and ensure UART is already initialized on that device.
