Send a Bolt Serial Request and Capture Its Reply
Keep the request and immediate response together so you can see what the device returned without switching tools.
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
Sending a serial command and checking its reply separately makes it harder to track whether the device responded as expected.
- Capture an immediate response to a serial request.
- Use AI to summarize returned text without assuming its meaning.
- Keep the request and reply in one run report.
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 exact ASCII request and named device, and ask AI to summarize the returned response without making up missing data.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real device that has UART initialized and review the returned response.
Questions about this workflow
What does this workflow capture?
The serial write and read action sends ASCII data and reads the response immediately.
Does it initialize UART automatically?
