Well, the meat of the errors is here:
Error sending message: Invalid server response
and here:
Error sending file: Timed out.
I found the second error in the source file. Are you getting a debug message “Last message ID: …” before any these errors?
or “Update last message: …”
I will set to debug and re-run automations
It’s probably not worth it. I debugged down all the way to the errors and their meaning and both point to connection issues. Both errors inherit from NetworkError.
To what/where?
To the telegram bot I’m guessing. I have no idea what this device is. If its internal to your network, then you are having network issues. If its external from your network, then it’s having trouble sending or receiving a ‘confirmation’ from the send.
I just looked it up, its a cloud based service. So most likely, your network isn’t routing the telegram bot responses back to HA properly. This may be caused by your router/network configuration.
I see, am I supposed to have responses back to HASS from the Bot, even though I’m only sending messages?
Standard protocal when sending messages is to do the following:
send message.
wait for reply that message was sent.
Do something based on that reply.
you are getting errors based on the ‘do something based on that reply’. The errors you are getting lead me to believe that you are not actually getting a reply. TimeOuts are typically errors associated with a waiting period, if we don’t get a reply in that waiting period, error out.
Could it be a configuration issue on my part, or maybe some config vaiables to the Bot.?
I just followed the docs to setup.
I mean, the only thing I noticed was chat id’s were pretty important. Are you specifying that?
Yes, otherwise, would I even receive the messages?
configuration.yaml:
telegram_bot:
- platform: polling
api_key: !secret telegram_api_key
allowed_chat_ids:
- !secret telegram_chat_id
parse_mode: html
notify:
- platform: telegram
chat_id: !secret telegram_chat_id
name: Telegram
The other thing you could do is ignore the errors because you are getting the messsages:
logger:
default: debug
logs:
homeassistant.components.telegram_bot: critical
This should suppress everything but python errors for telegram_bot.
I was hopping to resolve it rather than ignore it, but that works.

Hi,
I have suddenly the same problem.
My automations have worked always but today I start having this errors:
ERROR (SyncWorker_7) [homeassistant.components.telegram_bot] Error sending file: Invalid server response. Args: (383126596, <_io.BufferedReader name='/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/snapshot/montage_cam03_cam05/montage_cam03_cam05.jpg'>), kwargs: {'caption': '', 'parse_mode': 'HTML', 'disable_notification': False, 'disable_web_page_preview': None, 'reply_to_message_id': None, 'reply_markup': None, 'timeout': None}

Nothing changed…
Erik
Same here. Worked yesterday.
ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [homeassistant.components.telegram_bot] Error sending file: Invalid server response.

I get this too. All of a sudden. Before that can use normally. Now cannot get any message from HA send to telegram.

I think telegram is having problems atm, maybe something to do with Russia trying to ban it or whatever, but all my conversations say “updating”.
Telegram Twitter said:
Repairs are ongoing after a massive power outage in the Amsterdam region that affected many services. Telegram users in Europe, MENA, Russia and the CIS are currently unable to connect. We apologize and will update you on the progress
Back working here.
