Chat id you can get from telegram api, from telegram app you can create group with your bot then call this api to get chat id(base on group/single chat)

@x23piracy maybe you could contribute a short howto setup the telegram integration?

x23piracy commented 5 years ago

Hi,

sure:

This started only working for me (Xiaofang 1S, afaik 32MB of RAM (less, less and less)) after i enabled SWAP in run.ssh, i currently only use a 64MB SWAP instead of the default of 256MB.

After that the camera started to send picture by telegram.

@asharijuang you screener from above looks like that you are having currently more functionality than only sending picture through telegram, tell us more please :)

Would you be so kind and make a PR towards the documentation?

x23piracy commented 5 years ago

@jmtatsch do you mean me? Sorry but whats a PR? :)

jmtatsch commented 5 years ago

Yes, PR means a pull request :)

I added some functions, I also added reboot this function works when I start restarting the cameras again and again, my question is how to remove / reboot functions from the memory of the camera to perform only once

kszere commented 5 years ago

I update to last git version files project. I put auth api data to file. Change SWAP size from 256 to 64. From url api get id chat. Enable in panel slide motion telegram. In chat i write /start, /mem and not work.

Can you wrote step to step how make this to work?

Just for future reference or for users that couldn't findout the ChatID with the mothods explained before, I was able to get it right with the following instructions:

  1. Search for Botfather user in Telegram
  2. Write /help to him, to see what he can offer
  3. Create a new bot with the /newbot command and provide the requested info
  4. @Botfather will answer with the api key and some other helpful infos
  5. Create a new Group and call it as you want (i.e.: ipcamalarms) and add the created bot user
  6. Now add also the @getidsbo user, he will answer with a chat object containing the userChatId

IMPORTANT: If any, also the minus "-" sign must be included at the userChatId field when setting up the telegram.conf file, for example: userChatId="-436522340"

Hi, I have successfully flashed my Xiaofang S1 (64mb) camera. I have been able to use the telegram feature, but for the /videoalert feature it doesn't seem to work as it should. For features / textalerts and /imagealerts to function properly. Is there something I'm missing? I have also activated Memory Swap.
