Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Why this helps
A sensor check can take too many steps when device context and team discussion live in different places.
- Request a reading in the team channel
- Check device status before attempting the read
- Keep the returned reading with the automation report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check the named Bolt device is online, then read the requested analog pin.
- 4Pick New Discord Message Trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real device and pin.
Questions about this workflow
What does the analog read return?
The Bolt action reads an analog value from a specified pin, in the 0 to 1023 range.
Will Notis read if the device is offline?
Include the online check in the instruction and tell Notis to proceed with the analog read only when the status check succeeds.
