Check a device handshake at task start
Start a device-dependent process with a command and immediate reply in one reported run.

Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Starting a task without confirming a device responds can lead to wasted setup time and repeated manual checks.
- Pair the task start with a device response
- Reduce separate command and retrieval steps
- Give the operator a clear result to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OpenAI and Bolt IoT to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Confirm UART is initialized on the Bolt device.
- 3Create an automation with one instruction specifying the device, ASCII handshake command, and that the immediate reply should be reported.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and run-report channel, then have your backend call it at task start for one real test.
Questions about this workflow
What does the handshake action return?
It sends an ASCII message and reads the device's immediate serial response.
What must be initialized first?
UART must be initialized on the Bolt device before the serial exchange.

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.
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.'
