I have a Telegram bot setup but cannot get any inline_keyboard commands to work. I have a test automation that turns off a light for “/command1.” If I manually type /command1 in Telegram, the light turns off. If I set up a notification with the keyboard parameter, the Command1 button turns off the light. But, if I use the inline_keyboard setup for my notification, clicking the Command1 button in Telegram just shows a spinning circle and nothing happens.
I have tried both polling and webhooks.
inline_keyboard looks so much cleaner and professional to me so it would be nice to get it working. Here is my config:
CONFIG
telegram_bot:
- platform: polling
parse_mode: html
api_key: !secret telegram_bot
allowed_chat_ids:
- chat id
NOTIFY
- name: test_telegram
platform: telegram
chat_id: chat id
AUTOMATION 1
- alias: Telegram test2
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: telegram_command
event_data:
command: '/command1'
action:
- service: light.turn_off
entity_id: light.upstairs
AUTOMATION 2
- alias: test telegram
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: light.upstairs
to: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.test_telegram
data:
title: 'This is a test message'
message: 'Hello there this is a test'
data:
inline_keyboard:
- "/command1"
Figured it out. I have to use the telegram_callback event type for inline_keyboards.

Can you please share the working configuration? I’m facing the same problem right now. Tried it with the telegram_callback event allready, but it’s not working.
What I want to do is to send an message to the bot (like /ping ) and in return he sends me a reply with the inline keyboard where I can select a command that should be executed.

This is part of my telegram configuration. I use it to control lights, creating hass backup and sending it with telegram etc.
