Send a Bolt serial message from an AnyDB request
Keep serial messages tied to the request that calls for them, with an online check before sending.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Sends serial data to a device.
Why this helps
A requested serial message can get lost between a work record and the device interface.
- Send a specific ASCII message from a clear request.
- Check online status before transmitting.
- Make the resulting run report easy to find with the originating request.
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: when a request names a Bolt device and an ASCII message to send, check that device online and send the message over UART only if online.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real device after UART has been initialized.
Questions about this workflow
Does serial write initialize UART?
No. UART must already be initialized before sending serial data.
Does this action read a reply?
No. This action sends ASCII data. Use the separate serial write and read action when you need an immediate reply.
