Telegram problem 409

Configuration
1

Hi

I have a problem with the telegram bot. This message is in the log approximately two times per minute:

2020-04-09 07:22:54 ERROR (updater) [telegram.ext.updater] Error while getting Updates: Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request; make sure that only one bot instance is running (409)

I do not have Node-RED running! I configured Telegram bot like this:

telegram_bot:
  - platform: polling
    api_key: !secret telegram_api_key
    allowed_chat_ids:
      - !secret telegram_chat_id

notify:
  - platform: telegram
    name: telegram
    chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id

I send messages from automations.yaml like this:

  action:
    - service: notify.telegram
      data:
        message: "Test message"

The bot indeed sends duplicates:

So there should be really only one instance running! How can I fix that (HASS 0.108)?

Thx a lot!

Have you tried restarting home assistant?

Sure! Many times… :wink:

Hm :thinking: Am I really the only one who uses Telegram and has this problem? My log is growing like crazy:

I opened an issue on github.
Stay healthy! Have a nice weekend! :slight_smile:

Did you find a resolution to this issue?
I had telegram notifications working, but they stopped and I have similar errors in my log file.
I’m not sure what changed, and I am new to HA so I’m not good at troubleshooting it.

Hi

For me it was definitely related to the changes in the init system of HA. I actually had two instances running at the same time. I was running core, not HassOS. So I assume that your problem is totally different from mine. So it might be better to open a new issue? Anyway. I reopen it again if it helps…

Maybe you find a solution there and/or reopen the issue on Github?!

I am having the same issue after create the telegram notify, do you have any update on the issue? THanks
