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
Sending a serial command and retrieving its reply separately adds extra steps to troubleshooting.
- Combine a serial write with its immediate response.
- Keep troubleshooting exchanges together.
- Reduce manual back-and-forth between command and read tools.
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 describe the request-and-reply outcome to Notis.
- 3Write one instruction specifying the device and ASCII text to send, then ask Notis to return the immediate reply; UART must be initialized.
- 4Select Telegram's New Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a safe request on a device ready for serial communication.
