Telegram Bot

Hey.

After I experimented with the Google Hangoutsbot for a while, I am now at the Telegrambot. Currently my telegrambot sends me a simple message if the CPU temperature is too high. For this I ‘quickndirty’ inserted a few lines of code into the forked MMM-SystemStats module:

	var url="https://api.telegram.org/bot[BOT-TOKEN]/sendMessage?chat_id=[CHAT-ID]&text=CPU%20zu%20warm%20";
	var method = "POST";
	var postData = "Some data";
	var async = true;
	var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
	request.onload = function () {
	var status = request.status; // HTTP response status, e.g., 200 for "200 OK"
	var data = request.responseText; // Returned data, e.g., an HTML document.
	}
	request.open(method, url, async);
	request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
	request.send(postData);

It would be great if, for example, also MMM-Syslog, MMM-PIR or MMM-NetworkScanner sends messages, as good as centrally via a Telegram module.

For example https://github.com/enricostara/telegram.link or https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api.

Thank you.

I’ve updated the MMM-SystemStats module on github.
Now the request is sent by nodehelper.js.

request({ url:  'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + this.config.botToken + '/sendMessage?chat_id=' + this.config.chatID + '&text=' + encodeURI(payload.message), method: 'POST' }, function(error, response, body) {
console.log("TG with response " + response.statusCode);

It is not a separate module, but it works.

@clubbi maybe you could implement this in a separate module, implementing sendNotification / notificationReceived ?

@clubbi said in Telegram Bot:

Telegrambot.

Why don’t you just use something like this

@ryck
Currently, I do not have much time, but I’ll keep it in mind.

@cowboysdude
ah, ok. thanks.
