Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Bolt IoT Serial Read

Reads incoming serial data from a device.

Why this helps

Incoming serial data can be overlooked when someone has to remember to retrieve and inspect it manually.

  • Retrieve incoming serial data on a schedule.
  • Get a concise summary of returned text.
  • Keep recurring reviews in run reports.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and Bolt iot once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe the named Bolt device and ask AI to summarize only the serial data returned, noting when no data is available.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real device after initializing UART with serialbegin.

Questions about this workflow

What setup does serial read require?

The action reads incoming serial data after UART has been initialized with serialbegin.
