Hey everyone,
I’ve been using the telegram bot integration on my own HA instance for years now, both for notifications going out and for a predefined set of commands going in. After recently setting up a HA instance at my parents place (400km away), I now also wanted to get some minimal insights into how their instance is doing by using the same setup. As I didnt want to use the same bot for both instances, I went through the config flow for telegram bots again, created a second bot from my one telegram account, and added the config entries for the bot and the notifier to the configuration.yaml of my parents HA, and added an automation that answers with the most important sensor infos when I send a “/status” command. It all worked without a problem, so I hopped on the train home. Problem: now the bot of MY instance doesn’t answer anymore to commands I send in via telegram. It can still send notifications to me, but when I send a command via telegram, it doesnt seem to reach my HA instance (e.g. when I’m inside the automation setup on my instance I don’t get the blue highlight for the triggering event). Also the logs of my HA instance don’t show anything.
I use the polling approach for both bots, could it be that telegram has a limit of polling calls for bots of a single telegram account and therefore the new bot “wins” over the old one?
Thanks in advance for your help 
Cheers!
