Run a scheduled Bolt command response check
Verify a device responds to an expected command at a steady cadence.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
Why this helps
Intermittent device problems are hard to catch when command checks are ad hoc.
- Detect response changes earlier
- Pair a known command with evidence
- Create a repeatable report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt iot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for the recurring command response check.
- 3Tell Notis to confirm the device is online, send the specified ASCII command, read the immediate response, and summarize it.
- 4Choose a Notis cron schedule as the trigger.
- 5Select a report channel and test with one run.
Questions about this workflow
What does each run include?
Each run sends the configured ASCII command and captures the immediate serial response.
What setup is required?
The Bolt device must be online and UART must be initialized with serialbegin.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Fireflies to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Fireflies triggers
Bolt iot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Transcription Complete Trigger
Triggers when a transcription is complete. Polls Fireflies API for transcripts created or updated since the last poll time. Handles rate limiting gracefully.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
