NOTIFY telegram not working

Configuration
1

Folks,
I wanna use telegram for notification
Toke ist yxy from the BOT
configuration yaml
telegram_bot:

- platform: polling
    api_key: botxyz
    allowed_chat_ids:
      - CHAT_ID_1
      - CHAT_ID_2
      - CHAT_ID_3

notify.yaml

- name: my_telegram
  platform: telegram
  chat_id: CHAT_ID_1

Automation:

alias: 'Information of Sonos'
trigger: 
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
action:
    service: notify.my_telegram 
    data:
      title: "SONOS Status"
      message: "Bad  {{states.media_player.bad.state}}\n Büro {{states.media_player.buro.state}} \n Küche {{states.media_player.kuche.state}} \n Wohnzimmer {{states.media_player.wohnzimmer.state}} "

What went wrong?

I don’t think you can use template-like expressions in message…

You don’t mention exactly what is not working, so…

You can use templates, but you need to use data_template rather than data.

Also, /n does not work, you must use two line breaks directly into the automation text.

I don’t think the trigger is right either, but I can’t think off the top of my head what it should be instead.

As above, which bit isn’t working and are there any errors in the log?

Edit, I think the trigger should be:

platform: state
entity_id: sun.sun
state: 'below_horizon'

I do not receive any message on my bot.
I do run everything ti get chatid, but use the token starting with bot.

$ curl -X GET https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates
{“ok”:true,“result”:[]}
$ curl -X GET https://api.telegram.org/bot/getMe

{“ok”:true,“result”:{“id”:429855417,“first_name”:“mindelheimbot”,“username”:“mindelheimbot”}}

Wit config.yaml I just use ghe without a leading bot.

Automation works with pushbuller and config checker is fine but I still do no get a message.
Also a 'hello world ’ message with a automation working with pushbullet does not send a message.

Would love to see a working config.

Did you find out the cause of this? I am seeing the same after upgrade.

well what I did and it is working are:

telegram_bot:
  - platform: polling
     api_key: !secret telegram_api_key
    allowed_chat_ids:
      - !secret telegram_chat_id
      - !secret telegram_chat_js

!secret telegram_api_key came from the “$ curl -X GET https://api.telegram.org/bot/getMe”
my api key what you get from telefram, no leading bot or anything else.

notify:
- name: telegram_ihaus
platform: telegram
api_key: !secret telegram_api_key
chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_js

and than the automation:

alias: 'Telegram bot that reply temperatur'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
  platform: event
  event_type: telegram_command
  event_data:
    command: '/Temperatur'
action:
    service: notify.telegram_ihaus
    data:
      title: "Raumtemperatur"
      message: "Wohnzimmer {{states.sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature.state}} Grad\n
                      Wandthermostat {{climate.wohnzimmer_wandthermostat.temperature}}  Grad   \n
                Büro  FIBARO {{states.sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature.state}} Grad \n
                      Wandthermostat {{climate.buero_wandthermostat.temperature}}  Grad   \n
                Küche FIBARO {{states.sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature.state}} Grad\n
                Bad   FIBARO {{states.sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature.state}} Grad \n
                      Wandthermostat {{climate.bad_wandthermostat.temperature}}  Grad   \n
                Schlafzimmer {{states.sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature.state}} Grad\n
                      Wandthermostat {{climate.schlafzimmer_wandthermostat.temperature}}  Grad   \n
                Gang  FIBARO {{states.sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature.state}} Grad"

So I do send a “/Temperatur” and got back the note :slight_smile:
