Schedule a Bolt serial exchange and capture its reply
Keep a recurring serial check consistent and make its immediate response visible in each run report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Sends serial data to a device and reads its reply.
Why this helps
Routine device checks often get skipped when someone has to remember the exact message and read the response manually.
- Send a known ASCII message and capture its immediate reply.
- Check device connectivity before each exchange.
- Surface each run result in the chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3Tell Notis: check the specified Bolt device online, send the specified ASCII message over UART, capture the immediate response, and report the exchange.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
- 5Choose where run reports should go and test with one real device after UART initialization.
Questions about this workflow
Does the action capture an immediate reply or a later message?
It sends serial data and reads the response immediately.
What must be ready before the first run?
