Send a serial request and capture its reply
Tie a relevant web result to a Bolt serial request, then 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
Sending a device request and then separately retrieving its reply adds steps and makes it easy to lose the response context.
- Sends an ASCII request and captures the immediate response in one action.
- Connects the device request to a stated web condition.
- Keeps the page context and reply together for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the page condition, exact ASCII request, and device whose reply should be captured.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and a device with UART initialized using serialbegin.
Questions about this workflow
Does this wait for any future serial message?
No. It sends serial data and reads the response immediately. For retrieving incoming serial data separately, use a serial read action.
What should I specify in the instruction?
Name the page and condition, the ASCII data to send, and the Bolt device. UART must already be initialized.
