Well done! Thank you for being so through and offering excellent commentary. This is the only tutorial I could find that produced working results! Thanks!
@@AverageAutomation - That will be awesome! I was beginning to wonder how I was going to be able to attach a snapshot from the MotionEye camera when that alert was sent! Beautiful!
Thank you for this video Ryan, it was the only one that allowed me to follow along and finally get Google Calendar connected into my Home Assistant. Keep up the great work, your subs should break 1000 very soon.
You started to talk about sending an image but I got lost. Here is what I would like to do. I have a number of pictures and images. I have an automation for telling me my main PC is on if I am leaving home. I already sent a telegram message to my self when that happens, but I would like to include an image of my PC or an international warning sign image in the telegram transmission. I have been unable to do it. Can you tell me if this is possible. Thanks so much, enjoy the work.
Hey I will cover sending images in the future however if you would like to send an Image you will need to select the option "telegram_bot.send_photo" instead of "telegram_bot.send_message" and then use the following in "Service data" caption: My image url: 'address of the image you would like to send' you can point this to an internal address of the pi as long as you are able to view it in the browser.
Hey Kim the process should be the same you would need to add an additional chat ID by starting a chat from the other users. Additionally, you could create a group instead and add the created bot to the group to get the group chat id you can add another bot with the name of "Chat_id_Echo_bot" this will give you the group chat ID
If it's for members of the same house, the way we do it - is by creating a telegram group, and adding the bot to the group, that way it's only sending one message but all the members of the group can see it.
Hi thank you for the video. It went al well till I have to give in the entity. My door-sensor have multiple (say ten) entity's. Which one do I have to take? Thanks in advance
Hey You should select the spesific one you would like to trigger the notification in that spesific section you can always update it afterwords if you have selected the wrong sensor.
@@AverageAutomation Yes it work| But still have a bug. When the door closed I don't receive a message. My entity is still on "on" status. Should be off. But when I sett it off manually then the toggle switch in the automation section (under configuration) is grey (off) How can I solve this?
If the sensor is only sending one message you may need to add "off_delay: 5" in the same line you added the sensor in the configuration.yalm this should turn off the sensor automatically in HA after 5 sec however this also means you will not really know the status of the door sensor I would reccomend taking a look at 2 code sensors
I was wondering if you can help with the automation - I want to send a telegram msg -- if my light switch is still powered on at 9:30 PM. So, if it is 930 PM and the light switch is powered on, send msg -- if it is powered off -- do not send msg.... also how can I send to a group of people in telegram and have them take a poll?
Hey dis would be for your own preference however i do prefer it as I now have a history of all notifications and you can setup notifications without home assistant cloud or portforwarding
I know this is over a year old but ive been away for some time. Not sure if the sound has improved on the newer videos . Making videos at 1am normally a issue haha.
Hi, I tried to get it to work but for some reason even though the config seems ok, the messages won't get sent. Bot is ok, I tried using api directly and via nodered with no problem. Any ideas?
you should still be able to find it after installing samba share to hassio check the second video I have 102 Think i do cover how to install it on there.
Came across your video and followed your steps. Worked like a dream. Thank you. Very clear and easy to follow.
The only tutorial that get it working for me👍🏽
I've been resisting learning ONE MORE app. But, this is a great simple, clear and through example. By, by, for now, mqtt, ifttt, etc.
Excellent video. With your perfect explanation i manage to set it up

Glad it was helpful! and thank you for the support I do have another video coming up showing how to send cctv snapshots via telegram as well.

Great tutorial. I've had HA installed for a for a couple years but I'm always looking for things to add.
Glad it was helpful!
good idea with the 101 series building upon the installation as you go. great series.
Glad you like them!
Excellent instructional video, question, how to make HASS to receive instructions from telegram?

Thanks for the many great videos, I'm trying to make it work with a group, but can not find the right way, you will help
Thanks!

Excelent work... Keep it up ;-)
Thanks for great video, how can i send to 2 phones?
Thank you, works perfect.
Glad to hear you got it working
Do you have to share your contacts on iphone for it to work ??
Just a quick question. Why are you using telegram_bot.send_message instead of notify. ?
I have always been using it this way seems to havr workrd fine up till now
Very thanks!
I have a question.
How can I send a single message to multiple telegram users?

@@AverageAutomation hi, you mean with 2 code that the sensor will be open or closed? I have the NeoCoolcam doorsensor.
@@AverageAutomation after witch line do I have to add the delay-code? I have tried but none have worked sofar.

Setting up the automation should not be that hard however I am not sure about setting up a poll function at this stage will need to look into that
Is telegram better for notifications then the Home Assistant app?
I'm looking for a good way to have notifications.
Hey dis would be for your own preference however i do prefer it as I now have a history of all notifications and you can setup notifications without home assistant cloud or portforwarding
@@AverageAutomation thanks! Great thing to consider.
I hope in your newer video's you fixed the sound, damn its quiet.
I know this is over a year old but ive been away for some time. Not sure if the sound has improved on the newer videos . Making videos at 1am normally a issue haha.

Have you tried setting up a additional Bot to see if you are still running into the same issue?
Try it and its a success... But when I try to use my own setup, there's notification send to my telegram even though the its triggered😅. Any idea?
I have Hass.io running as a vhdx in hyper V and I cannot find the config file. Any ideas?
you should still be able to find it after installing samba share to hassio check the second video I have 102 Think i do cover how to install it on there.
show!!!!
