Poll Bolt serial data on a schedule
Keep device messages flowing into your regular operating rhythm.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
Why this helps
Serial messages can accumulate unnoticed when nobody remembers to poll the device.
- Reduce missed device messages
- Create predictable polling
- Keep operations informed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Bolt iot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to read incoming serial data.
- 3Pick a Notis cron trigger and set the schedule.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real scheduled run.
Questions about this workflow
What must be configured first?
UART must be initialized with serialbegin on the Bolt device.
Does polling send a command?
No. Serial Read only retrieves incoming data.
