Zone status change report to Telegram bot (help wanted) #183

Open gargamelonly opened 3 years ago

gargamelonly commented 3 years ago

Hi, I see there are options to send log by email in some old threads. Is there a way also to send a message to a Telegram bot when a zone starts/stops irrigation? I know how to setup a bot and get it's key.

Thank you. [running the GreenIQ variant on an RPI]

There's an example shell script for sending emails but it's a nightly status report. There's no immediate notification.

Could you please suggest a modified script to send the report via Telegram message instead of email? We could use the following: https://github.com/fabianonline/telegram.sh

nhorvath commented 3 years ago

actually i forgot i implemented something that can intercept zone changes. see this script https://github.com/rszimm/sprinklers_pi/blob/master/scripts/example_zone_script_passthrough.sh

if you still want the report that is in the same directory "report.sh"

Sorry. I don't understand how to use it. Is simply copying the passthrough script to that folder will run it on every change of a GPIO? Do I need to remove the wiringpi command?

yes just follow the directions in the comment, replace the echo line with your telegram command. leave wiriginpi or your zones won't actually activate.
