Sends serial data to a device.
Why this helps
Manual periodic checks are easy to postpone when they compete with customer and sales work.
- Send a configured ASCII string on a recurring schedule.
- Keep a manual serial check from slipping through the cracks.
- Review run outcomes through the chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agile CRM and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to send the specified ASCII heartbeat string to the specified Bolt device over UART.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose the recurring schedule.
- 5Choose where run reports should go and test with one real heartbeat after UART is initialized.
Questions about this workflow
What must be configured before the scheduled send?
UART must already be initialized with serialbegin on the Bolt device.
Can the heartbeat string be arbitrary?
Use the exact ASCII string expected by your device or connected system, and provide it in the automation prompt.
Does a serial write capture a reply?
The serial write action sends data. To capture an immediate reply, use the separate serial write and read action.
