Send a Bolt serial command with a Telegram tap
Make an approved, repeatable serial command easy to trigger from your chat.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Why this helps
Re-entering serial commands creates friction and increases the chance of a mistyped request.
- Use a deliberate button tap for a known command.
- Reduce repeated typing during device routines.
- Keep the request close to team discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Bolt IoT to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or explain the intended outcome to Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction naming the authorized device and exact ASCII text to send after a button tap; note UART must already be initialized.
- 4Select Telegram's Callback Query Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the tap with a safe command on the intended device.
Questions about this workflow
Does this initialize the device's UART?
No. UART must be initialized before the serial write.
Can the command vary?
For a reliable button action, specify the intended ASCII text and device clearly in the prompt.
