Get a Bolt sensor reading from an AnyDB request

Ask for a reading when it matters and get the online check first, followed by the analog value.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Analog Read

Reads the analog value from a device pin.

Why this helps

People lose time switching tools to confirm a device is online and look up its current sensor value.

  • Check device connectivity before requesting a reading.
  • Retrieve an analog value in the documented 0 to 1023 range.
  • Respond to a specific request instead of polling without a clear need.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from any channel or Automations, New Automation in the portal.
  • 3Tell Notis: for a request that includes a Bolt device and analog pin, check that device online and, if online, read the specified analog pin and report the value.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real device and pin whose reading you can verify.

Questions about this workflow

What does the analog read return?

The listed action reads an analog value from a specified pin, with readings in the 0 to 1023 range.

Does the automation invent a sensor threshold?

No. Supply a threshold in the request or prompt if you want the value interpreted against one.
