Run a recurring serial health query

Check device feedback on a cadence your operations can trust.

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

Manual serial health checks are easy to postpone until a fault is already visible.

  • Catch device feedback issues earlier
  • Automate command and response capture
  • Create consistent health reports

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bolt IoT in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that sends your ASCII health command and records the immediate response.
  • 3Pick a Notis cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
  • 4Choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one immediate run after initializing UART.
