Telegram-bot could not be set up

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi, I’m trying to get Telegram to work.

config:

# Telegram bot
telegram_bot:
  - platform: webhooks
    api_key: 000000000:ASEcretapikeY
    trusted_networks:
      - 149.154.167.197/32
      - 149.154.167.198/31
      - 149.154.167.200/29
      - 149.154.167.208/28
      - 149.154.167.224/29
      - 149.154.167.232/31
    allowed_chat_ids:
      - 1111111111

# Notify settings
notify:
  - name: telegram
    platform: telegram
    api_key: 000000000:ASEcretapikeY
    chat_id: 1111111111

I have configured DuckDNS with Let’s Encrypt, and I can access Hass.io remote using this.

In Home Assistant I get a message saying:

Invalid Config
The following components and platforms could not be set up:

  • telegram-bot
  • notify.telegram

Please check your config.

Running hassio homeassistant check in the CLI, results in Success homeassistant/check.

What am I doing wrong?

2

Remove the api key line from the notify section.

Comment out your trusted network block.

Restart and see if it works.

If not, post error. If so, re-enable the trusted networks and see what happens.

Thank you for replying!

I did what you suggested, but unfortunately I still get the same error in Home Assistant, and the check command still reports Success.

Is there a way I could get more info from the log about why telegram-bot has invalid config?

Click on the little ‘i’ in a circle on the dev panel and look for the error message(s) in the list. Click on the message for the full details and paste them here.

Thanks! That’s a feature I wasn’t aware of.
Here’s the errors:

Try changing webhooks to polling.

I forwarded port 8443, and changed to this port in the base_url, now the message about invald config is gone, and no error in the log. But still I can’t find anything related to notify or telegram in the States view.

I tried using polling in stead of webhooks at the beginning, but then I had the same problem as now. No errors, and nothing related to notify or telegram in the Statesview.

8

They don’t have a state, so they won’t be in the states view.

If you have no errors have you tried sending a message?

9

I tried this:

2018-01-25%2012_34_29-Home%20Assistant

But I haven’t received the test yet.

I also tried this using polling.

10

Again, they do not have a state. You cannot set a state.

Click on the remote control icon on the far left of the panel to get to the services page…

(yours will say notify.telegram in the drop down list)

Ah, thank you!
Now I got the message.
