hmm I must have missed something. I can now send message to a group, but not receive from the same group

- /Setprivacy: enabled
- /setjoingroups: enabled

I made a simple flow for testing purposes, to just send a message if a message was received. But maybe I’m doing something wrong? Do I need to reference the bot if I send messages in a group?

is it possible to rate limited the app

apparently i have some sensors that like to flicker in a millisecond on/off and that makes Homey send multiple texts

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/5/85144e7cfa7adb25262a89f9d7f8bc9436455b01.png)

somehow its impossible to fix it because it is homey and thats why it would be nice if i can rate limit the sending of messages by 1 second (send maximum 1 message every second)

You can do that with adv. Flow

On Sensor → wait x → sensor still on → send

Thanks for the tip I tried it and unfortunately that doesn’t work… the flow gets called 3x so it’s still 3x only with a wait of 1 second

[This one’s](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287) very handy for this case, Jeroen. It works with true/false or yes/no as well

Hello, I would like to send a list to Telegram. How do I add spaces and new lines?

Does anyone have any suggestions to make it clear and not have everything on one line?

@Tom_ten_Den If i am correct, to start every time on a new line press Shift+ Enter.

Check the latest test version.

I don’t know if local urls will work. Public does work. Local http should work. External HTTP is blocked

Something like this should work.  
You can use Run Code with arguments and just pass the tags that way.  
I’m not sure if there’s a way to grab the tags directly from the script itself. I’m not a HomeyScript expert either 😅

from the picture i believe you are using an advanced flow right ?  
In my case i was trying it from a standard flow:

Maybe I am missing something, but when sending a question to my iPhone / Apple Watch with 3 possible answers results on my watch in a question with only one possible answer: Reply (or Quit). When I use Reply, I can just see some predefined answers from my phone. Is it possible to have the predefined answers available on my watch as well?

That something Telegram has to program. I can’t change anything related to the telegram app itself
