Review incoming serial data without a manual check

Collect the serial data you need on a schedule and keep the result close to your run reports.

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

Important device output can be overlooked when retrieving serial data depends on remembering a separate check.

  • Make recurring serial checks predictable
  • Reduce manual UART follow-up
  • Keep a concise record in your run-report channel

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect OpenAI and Bolt IoT to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Confirm the device UART has been initialized with serialbegin.
  • 3Create an automation with one instruction to read incoming serial data from the specified Bolt device.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and run-report channel, then test with one real serial response.

Questions about this workflow

Does the automation initialize UART?

No. The device must already have UART initialized with serialbegin before serial data can be read.

What does it report?

It retrieves incoming serial data from the specified Bolt device.
