Read Bolt serial data when an AnyDB request arrives
Bring a requested serial response into the same run report as the request that prompted it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Reads incoming serial data from a device.
Why this helps
Serial results can be easy to miss when the request and the device console live in separate places.
- Retrieve incoming serial data on demand.
- Check online status before reading from a device.
- Keep the request and reported serial result together.
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 naming a Bolt device with UART already initialized using serialbegin, check online and read incoming serial data, then report the returned data.
- 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 this action initialize UART?
No. The serial read action is for retrieving data after UART has already been initialized with serialbegin.
Can it return data if the device is offline?
The workflow checks online status first and should report that status rather than attempt a read when the device is offline.
