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.

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.
Working again.
Any idea if it’s normal behavior when sending PHOTO with Telegram, the Title and Message is omitted on the receiving end?
- service: notify.telegram
data:
title: Front Door Alert!
message: Someone is at the front door.
data:
photo:
- file: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/cameraimages/frontdoor.jpg
Dunno, but I get the same, so probably.
