MMM-TelegramBot : Control MM on Telegram

robiv8

Yes! You are right :-)

by the way, is it possible to clear the chat
or to delete a message
~~or to delete the message after a while~~ -> telecastLife OK

~~so that when you have sent a few messages you can delete them so that this don’t stand there forever.~~

and
Videos are not going?

Thanks

Need some modification in MagicMirror Core but i think send a video file for playing is actually optional, video cast is better

Hi,
i dont get this to work.

I already have setup a bot for ioBroker. I want to have this Notifications also in the MagicMirror.

Is that even possible to use the same token on 2 devices?- because when i enter the API Token in the MagicMirror-Config i get some warning in ioBroker and no chat or something in MM2.

warn: telegram.0 (17441) polling_error: ETELEGRAM, ETELEGRAM: 409 Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request; make sure that only one bot instance is running

My config looks like

{
  module: 'MMM-TelegramBot',
  config: {
    telegramAPIKey : 'Api-Token',
    allowedUser : ['username']
  }
},

I use pages and i have fixed “MMM-TelegramBot”.

@oberfragger I’ve had a few issues getting i to work as well but eventually it works. Rebooted the RasPi on the way so that might help although I doubt it.
And don’t forget to include your chatID as descripbed in the README.

I think the error is not necessarily the problem. I got that as well when starting the mirror on the laptop as well, so having two front-end instances running. Module still worked

I’m astonished by the power of this module and the telegram bot. I am using it to send messages and pictures to the mirror. And it is so much fun, especially for the kids.

What I am missing is:
can the last messages of the chat be loaded at startup? Does anyone know?
They do not in my case.

It’s a shame that there’s apparently no support from the owner anymore here, so I might decide to work with a fork and publish it here again to have a support and troubleshooting base on this forum again.
