Review Bolt readings for possible sensor drift
Make gradual changes easier to investigate with a recurring review of available sensor history.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Slow shifts can be hard to notice when readings are viewed one at a time without a historical comparison.
- Surfaces possible changes when history is available.
- Keeps comparisons grounded in actual readings.
- Creates a review record for calibration follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to compare available historical readings for possible sensor drift and create a Drive review, clearly noting when history is insufficient.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with readings spanning multiple periods and confirm the review cites the available comparison.
Questions about this workflow
Can drift be identified from one reading?
No. Comparing possible drift requires readings over time; the report should state when that history is unavailable.
Does this certify that a sensor is faulty?
No. It identifies possible changes for follow-up based on available values, not a definitive diagnosis.
