Add telegram as an alert destination / added multi alert support #119

Closed ijaron closed 4 years ago

ijaron commented 4 years ago

Added telegram as an alert destination via telegram bot. To use, get api_token from botfather on telegram. chat_id can be found by adding rawdatabot to the chat you wish to have alerts go to if a group chat, or start a chat with rawdatabot to get your user_id which will be your chat_id for single user chat. Can also get chat_id by reguesting https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates after starting a chat with your bot

I have downloaded the android telegram appli. I have created a telegram account . I have created a bot with botfather, so I have now the api_token and I have also got the chat_id.

I have amended the python code (controller.py and config.json)

To make it work, I have had to add : import urllib

Now, I get the message : “May 15 11:49:14 raspberrypi garage_controller: Sending Telegram message”

But I don’t receive any telegram msg.

Did I miss something ? (I have never used telegram messenger before)

Thanks

Gilles

It is likely that you have to start a chat with your bot before it will send messages. I haven't tested it without starting a chat first. To start a chat just send your bot "/start"

Gilles94500 commented 4 years ago

You were right. It works now when I have first started the chat with “/start”.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Gilles
