You select the pictures you want to send like sending them via WhatsApp or any other messaging app.
so the user selects pictures, vs the app just sending without selection
but u have to install an app on your phone

Correct.
You use the normal Telegram Messanger App but instead of sending pictures to somebody you send it to a bot (which is a supported feature of Telegram)The Teleframe acts as a Telegram Client, receives the pictures and saves them to a directory on the mirror.
As Teleframe creates a images.json file my watchdog only watches this file for changes and sends the notification to the module if needed. -

I don’t have one of those

I use telegram with my family, so I will give it a try.

@MajorC
If you need the watchdog script let me known. Did not push it to any repository till now cause it is only a small bash script. -
@wishmaster270 later reply, cool
I’ve now started using telegram bot with n8n to help
my son take inventory in his estate sale business. pretty cool -

So Sam,
If I use your program to upload the photos and the module it defaults to, to show pictures anyone in my house could upload pictures to the folder that the photo module is showing from and the pictures will show then. or will it need MM to restart? Do the photos have to be resized? -
@plainbroke depends on the module displaying the images
MMM-ImagesPhotos will auto refresh the list
-
@plainbroke photos do not have to be resized w MMM-ImagesPhotos
-
You could use FolderSync on Android to daily sync a specific folder to an SMB share that you create on your MagicMirror or wherever you get your photos from.
