i’m trying to let ha. send a video to my telegram channel but i’m always greeted with an error:
Can't send file with kwargs: {'message': 'Last Ring Video', 'file': 'test.mp4'}
2:41 PM components/telegram_bot/__init__.py (ERROR)
'test.mp4' are not secure to load data from!

this is my config:
- id: ring_video_download
alias: Ring Video Download
hide_entity: true
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.ring_front_door_motion
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
platform: state

So got this all working nicely. Just trying to figure out how long it takes for my doorbell to upload to ring, then making it accessible to home assistant. 1 minute seems too short, but for you it may be perfect. YMMV. Just a case of fiddling with the delay in these automation scripts.
In your config yaml file, don’t forget to add two things.
First, inside your main homeassistant setup :
Then anywhere you like in your config file, allow the downloader component and specify where this downloads to. [Pro-tip: map it to somehting that isn’t your SD card]
downloader:
download_dir: /downloads
First one is a motion detection script:
- alias: Telegram notification -Front door motion
id: telegram_front_door_motion
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door_motion
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.Bergen_telegram
data_template:
message: "Movement detected at the Front Door. I'll send a photo in a bit. You know how slow Ring is."
- delay: 00:02:00
- service: camera.snapshot
data:
entity_id: camera.front_door_2
filename: /downloads/ring/fdoor-snapshot.jpg #/config/www/images/fdoor-snapshot.jpg

This second one is is a call & command request script - type in /frontdoor_vid in telegram (or add to your options menu) and back comes the last video that was recorded by ring for that device:

trigger:

subdir: ring
filename: fdoor_latest.mp4
overwrite: true
- delay: 00:00:05
- service: telegram_bot.send_video
