Configuration

I am trying to setup Telegram chatbot using polling method. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn’t. I see this error in the log…

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.telegram_bot.polling] Client connection error

Please help.

+1 to this. I have to restart HA in order for telegram commands to work. Once I see above error on the log, it doesn’t process the command. After restart, the commands I sent earlier gets processed.

EDIT: I’m already on 0.46, and this started when the telegram polling/bot components were introduced

Good news. Updated to 0.47 and the Telegram Chatbot (polling) is now working even though I still see the error in the log.

MIne is still broken, it stops responding to commands after a few days. I’ll try to check the logs when I got the chance.

strange enough, i no longer need to restart HASS to fix this issue. The commands are working again. THere’s a bunch of error though I’ll post it if it reoccurs.
