Telegram Bot - send GIF on alarm

Configuration
1

Hi guys.

I would like to receive a GIF when the alarm is triggered. Problem is that it only sends the video from the motion which occured before the current motion.

When there was an alarm on 14:00 and an alarm on 15:00 i will receive the 14:00 alarm video on 15:00. even when i increase the alarm.

I have 3 solutions in my head :wink:

  1. I would delete the old video with a shell command. Maybe this will work.

  2. I could instead of a delay watch the folder with folder watcher. When there is a new video file it will be send to me no madder if there is an alarm or not.

  3. getting my automation to work :smiley:

automation is in post 2 because the code format does not work in this one :frowning:
