Run a serial query and capture the response
Automate a repeatable device query and keep its response close to the run report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Sends serial data to a device and reads its reply.
Why this helps
Repeating a device query by hand creates extra steps and makes it easier to miss a response.
- Send ASCII data and capture the immediate reply.
- Keep a recurring device query consistent.
- Review the response in the automation run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Bolt IoT once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or in plain language from any channel.
- 3Specify the Bolt device, ASCII message, schedule, and how to report the response.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and a run report channel.
- 5Test with one run after initializing UART on the device.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action initialize UART?
No. The device must already have UART initialized before using the serial write and read action.
Does it read a later response?
The listed action sends serial data and reads the response immediately. For incoming data later, use the serial read action.
