Good day, thanks for sharing this library.

I tried to measure the temperature of my server room with some temperature sensors and I wanted the bot to actively inform me if the server room exceeded certain temperature.

I wonder this could be done in this library, thanks!

Hello nkebx2, sure, it 's possible! You have to do:

read the temperature data and check if it exceed the threshold
if yes, send a message to a defined Telegram ID (yours, for example). The text message could contains even the temperature value (for example)

There are a lot of online services for discovering your own Telegram ID but you can modify the echobot example to reply with the sender Telegram ID. Cheers,

Stefano
