MMM-TelegramBot error.

@Mrtrol2013
Usually connect ETIMEDOUT error will occur when your device would be behind a proxy. Was it accessing the internet via a proxy server? (perhaps from a school or company)
Or your firewall would be blocking it. Check it. (Sorry I can’t help these kinds of issues. Discuss with your network admin.)

@Mrtrol2013
Anyway, I’ll make some patch for using under a proxy. But cannot guarantee when it is done.

[Mrtrol2013]

@Sean thank you

[Mrtrol2013]

@Sean I’m very interested in your module, I can use it with a proxy at the moment. Can you explain how to make it work?

[A Former User]

@Mrtrol2013
adding some proxy host and path info on request to telegram server, might be needed. not so complex, but real test be required.

@Sean
Please can you have a look at my log file. I have made a fresh install but my problem still persist. When i use the /help and the other commands in the help file, then i get the expected response. But when i use the
/commands or
/mychatid then i get a responce of

“Unrecognized command. Say what?”

I have played with some of the settings of my phone and tried to whitelist my phones ip in the config file but still no joy. Any idea from your side looking at the log? I also dont see my log file grow as i try the commands on my phone

Hi, You need to launch a conversation with your new bot created. Not with BotFather.

To talk to your bot:
above the token you have the link to talking to your bot !
like : t.me/ just click on it :)

@Bugsounet
Fantastic, thanks Cedric, much appreciated. I am onboard again :-)

@Bugsounet This is not working for me. Step 4 in the install instructions just responds with “You are not allowed to command me. Ask Admin.”

My config:

                {
                        disabled: false,
                        module: "MMM-TelegramBot",
                        config: {
                                telegramAPIKey: "12XXXXX892:AAHXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_0Dme-XXXXXXX",
                                allowedUser: "BXXXXXdBXXXXFXXXX",
                        },
                },

Console show MMM-TelegramBot started ok.

Bump for @Bugsounet

[A Former User]

@sonicgoose said in MMM-TelegramBot error.:

ETELEGRAM: 404 Not Found

allowedUser: "BXXXXXdBXXXXFXXXX",

try with:

allowedUser: ["BXXXXXdBXXXXFXXXX"],

sorry for last response ! I just return from vacations :)

[sonicgoose]

@Bugsounet Thanks. That seems to have done the trick. I didn’t notice the square brackets when reading the instructions.
