Hello. I’ve been working on my hass setup for a couple of days now and it has been a real struggle so far. Slowly I’m getting there though.
I’m trying to set up a telegram bot that replies in the correct conversation:
- alias: 'Telegram bot start command'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_command
event_data:
command: '/start'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data_template:
target: '{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
title: '*Command control*'
message: 'What would you like me to do?'
inline_keyboard:
- 'Ping:/ping, Chat Info:/chatinfo'
- 'Exit:/exit'
This is working fine. It’s responding to the command in the correct chat.
Then I tried to answer the ‘Ping’ with 'Pong
- alias: 'Telegram bot that reply pong to ping'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
command: '/ping'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data_template:
message: 'Pong'
This is working. Except that it’s always replying with pong to the default chat-id.
So I tried adding target:'{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
This is my code now:
- alias: 'Telegram bot that reply pong to ping'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
command: '/ping'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data_template:
target:'{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
message: 'Pong'
But now I’m getting this error and I can’t figure out why that is:
Configuration invalid
Successful config (partial)
Any help?
Thanks!

This telegram ping - pong works for me:
alias: 'telegram ping pong'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
data: '/ping'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.answer_callback_query
data_template:
callback_query_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.id }}'
message: >-
Callback received from {{ trigger.event.data.from_first }}.
Message id: {{ trigger.event.data.message.message_id }}.
Data: {{ trigger.event.data.data }}
{{now().strftime("%H:%M:%S %Y-%m-%d")}} Pong, Message from {{ trigger.event.data["user_id"] }}.
show_alert: true

Your code works. But what i want is for telegram to send a normal message. As if it’s just relying.

This should work.
- service: telegram_bot.answer_callback_query
data_template:
callback_query_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.id }}'
message: 'Message'

Lets see your telegram yaml. It’s hard to help without it.

configuration.yaml

message: 'Pong'
As you can see I have three buttons. every button responds to the /ping command.
I tried adding automation for the other buttons but that resluts in evry automation being executed no matter what button is being pressed.
Here’s the code for those other automations:
- alias: 'Exit'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
command: '/exit'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.delete_message
data_template:
message_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.message.message_id }}'
chat_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
- alias: 'Chat info test'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
command: '/chatinfo'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.answer_callback_query
data_template:
callback_query_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.id }}'
message: 'Test Chatinfo'

That is strange. It has to be something with your ‘Telegram bot start command’.
- id: '4005'
alias: 'telegram control'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: telegram_command
event_data:
command: '/start'
action:
- service: notify.telegram
data:
message: 'Control panel'
data:
inline_keyboard:
- 'Lights:/lights, Status:/status, Security:/security'
- 'System:/system, Help:/help'
I would also change that chat info command to something like Chatinfo.

vladosam:
notify.telegram
I need the telegram_bot.send_message command because in need the bot to reply in the correct chat.
I keep getting the same problem… Every button executes all commands

So if you press ping it also execute /chatinfo and /exit?
Try to replace
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
command: '/ping'
with
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
data: '/ping'

I tried to recreate your setup with only two buttons. And this work. But i test it with only one user. Try it and see what happens.
- alias: 'Telegram bot start command'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_command
event_data:
command: '/start'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data_template:
target: '{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
title: '*Command control*'
message: 'What would you like me to do?'
inline_keyboard:
- 'Ping:/ping, Chat Info:/chatinfo'
# - 'Exit:/exit'
- alias: 'Telegram bot that reply pong to ping'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
data: '/ping'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data_template:
target: '{{ trigger.event.data.chat_id }}'
message: 'Pong'
- alias: 'Chat info test'
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: telegram_callback
event_data:
data: '/chatinfo'
action:
- service: telegram_bot.answer_callback_query
data_template:
callback_query_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.id }}'
message: 'Test Chatinfo'
show_alert: true

I’m also using telegram with pooling all the time. But that never happened to me. Try this code i posted before.

I found the mistake in my automations. It must be data: '/command' on the event_data section if I use telegram_callback. Thank you!
