Telegram notification recently buggy

Configuration
1

Since I installed the latest HASS version I notice the telegram notification often doesn’t work and these are the errors:

17-02-10 23:10:55 ERROR (Thread-5) [homeassistant.components.notify.telegram] Error sending message

Any idea what it might be?

2

I get those as well. Although I usually still get the messages (which kind of doesen’t make sense). Today was the first time a message was actually not delivered where I would have actually wanted to be informed (my alarm system wasn’t armed when I left the house).

3

It’s a real pity because I use it for alarm notification and it worked flawless until recently :frowning:

4

So no one that can solve this?
I hate an unreliable notification service :frowning:

5

I have the same problem.
It seems happens first notification of the day or after a long time after last successful notification sent

6

It’s a shame that components over time suddenly start having problems.

Anyone has a solution for this?

7

If anyone has any idea how to fix this issue that would be great.
Currently not all Telegram notifications are send :(. So it’s unreliable.

8

Am I the only one with this issue and is not happy with it?

9

I have downgraded back to 0.38.4

sudo pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant==0.38.4

10

And then it works perfectly?

I don’t want to downgrade actually as I use new things that came with newer versions.

Hopefully someone can fix this some day for the newer versions.

11

nothing is perfect. but I face less problems in 0.38.4.

12

Don’t know if it got worse with 0.39 because I stuck to 0.38.4 as well. But even with 0.38.4 some messages don’t arrive. So for important, simple textual messages I’m now probably switching to the Automate notify platform. It’s free, so worth a try.

13

Until Telegram is reliable again I’m using Twitter. Created a dummy HASS user you can send DM’s to my own Twitter account.
It’s a shame so many new things and fixes in new versions but nothing about this Telegram issue (or the chromecast issue that’s there for months already)

14

Still not fixed with 0.40.1.

15

I guess the problem is, that’s it’s not really easy to reproduce. For me it only happens occasionally. And some people around here maybe don’t even notice it at all. Maybe if failed notifications would popup persistent notifictions in the UI this would get more attention.

16

I can’t get any messages to send at all in Telegram on 0.38.3. The service gets called but nothing happens. I am getting urllib3 errors in my logs, but not the same as the ones here.

17

here also problem since 0.39

If you encounter issue’s when HASS is trying to start the Telegram component this might be a solution for you: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7298#issuecomment-297250734

Regarding the often not sending of notifications I don’t think there is a solution yet :(.
It’s unreliable and thus I’m using Twitter for my alarm notifications.
