You use the normal Telegram Messanger App

I don’t have one of those

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

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.

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?

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke depends on the module displaying the images

MMM-ImagesPhotos will auto refresh the list

[sdetweil]

@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.

Hi folks,

I’m using rclone. I combined it with dropbox. In dropbox you can automate the image handling from *heic to *jpg. So I make a picture on my iPhone and send it to the dropbox folder. The rest is running completely in the background. That’s it…

But Rclone can handle a lot of more services.

@chrisfr1976 mmm-ImagesPhotos handles heic images too
