Bolt IoT

Control your IoT devices through conversation

IoT projects require custom apps and code for every interaction. Your AI agent reads sensors, controls actuators, and manages Bolt IoT devices through simple messages. Hardware control happens from Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack.

Hardware control through natural language

From reading sensor values to controlling outputs, your AI agent operates Bolt IoT devices as easily as sending a message.

Use Cases

IoT automation through chat

See how makers and operations teams use AI agents to monitor sensors, control devices, and automate IoT workflows.

Remote Temperature Monitoring for Greenhouses

A greenhouse operator wants to check soil conditions from their phone. They message the AI Agent for current sensor readings. The agent calls Bolt's Analog Read API on pin A0 and returns the temperature and moisture values. The operator monitors conditions remotely without custom dashboard development.

Smart Light Control for Home Automation

A homeowner wants to control garage lights from WhatsApp. They tell the AI Agent to turn on the light. The agent calls Bolt's Digital Write API to set pin 0 HIGH, activating the relay module. The light turns on instantly without building a custom mobile app.

Industrial Sensor Status for Shift Changes

A factory supervisor needs equipment readings before shift change. They ask the AI Agent for device status across multiple Bolt modules. The agent checks connectivity via the Device Status API and reads sensor values from each device. The supervisor receives a complete status report through Slack.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent control Bolt IoT devices?

The agent calls Bolt Cloud APIs with your API key and device ID. Each command specifies the device, pin, and operation. Bolt's cloud infrastructure relays commands to your WiFi-connected module in real-time.

Which analog pins can I read?

Bolt IoT supports analog reads on pins A0 through A3. The agent reads values from 0 to 1023 representing sensor output. Connect temperature, light, moisture, or any analog sensor to these pins.

What Bolt IoT credentials does Tars need?

Tars requires your Bolt Cloud API key and device IDs in the format BOLTXXXXXXX. Find your API key in Bolt Cloud account settings. Each device has a unique ID visible on your dashboard.

Does Tars store Bolt IoT sensor data?

No. Tars queries Bolt Cloud APIs in real-time. Sensor readings, device status, and serial data are fetched live. Historical data storage happens in Bolt Cloud or your own database.

Does the device need to be online?

Yes. The agent can check device status before sending commands. If the Bolt module is offline, it reports the connectivity issue. Commands execute immediately when devices are connected.

How is this different from the Bolt IoT mobile app?

The mobile app requires navigation and specific screens for each action. Tars enables natural commands like 'Turn on the garage light' or 'Read the temperature sensor' from any messaging platform.

What is serial communication used for?

Serial (UART) connects advanced sensors and microcontrollers to Bolt. The agent sends ASCII commands and reads responses over serial for protocols that require two-way communication beyond simple analog/digital signals.

Can I control relays and motors?

Yes. Use digital write to control relay modules connected to Bolt pins. Relays can switch motors, lights, solenoids, and other high-power devices. The agent sets pins HIGH or LOW to activate relays.
