Send a serial request and capture the reply
Use a web check to decide when to exchange a serial message with Bolt, and include the immediate reply in the run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Sends serial data to a device and reads its reply.
Why this helps
A device interaction can require both sending a command and seeing its reply, while also depending on information found on a page.
- Send a defined ASCII request and capture its immediate reply.
- Use returned page content to determine when the exchange runs.
- Keep the check and device response together in the report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the name and prompt from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Agenty to inspect the supplied page and, when it meets your criteria, send specified ASCII data to Bolt and capture the serial response.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and include the page, condition, device, and request details in your instruction.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real page and device with UART initialized.
Questions about this workflow
What does the action return?
It sends ASCII data over UART and reads the response immediately.
Does this initialize UART?
No. UART must already have been initialized with serialbegin.
Can the prompt decide what response is acceptable?
It can assess the response returned by the action against criteria you provide, but it cannot infer an expected response you have not specified.
