Check Bolt serial data on a schedule
Get a scheduled look at incoming serial data without keeping a console open.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Reads incoming serial data from a device.
Why this helps
Serial data checks are easy to forget when they rely on someone revisiting a device console.
- Retrieve incoming serial data on a recurring schedule.
- Check device availability before attempting a read.
- Receive a report without manually reopening a serial interface.
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 and, if online, read and report incoming serial data from its UART connection.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
- 5Choose where run reports should go and test with a real device after initializing UART with serialbegin.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow initialize UART automatically?
No. UART must already be initialized with serialbegin before the serial read.
Will it run a read if the device is offline?
The prompt should have Notis check online status first and report the status if the device is unavailable.
