Send scheduled Bolt serial heartbeats
Keep a regular communication pulse between Notis and your Bolt device.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Routine device check-ins are easy to skip when they rely on a manual serial command.
- Keep routine check-ins consistent
- Reduce manual UART commands
- Support maintenance routines
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt iot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for the recurring heartbeat.
- 3Tell Notis which ASCII message and Bolt device to use for each scheduled serial write.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select a report destination.
- 5Test one run after UART initialization.
Questions about this workflow
What is sent to the device?
The action sends the ASCII message defined in your instruction over UART.
What setup is required?
UART must be initialized before the serial write runs.
Can the heartbeat text vary?
Yes, define the required message pattern in the automation instruction.

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.
New Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
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.'
