[APP][Pro] Telegram

[MrBlue]

Hi, I appreciate the quick response!
Where exactly should I find this settings option? Have been checking the Telegram app setting in Homey and the Telegram app, but I’m unable to find it.
Cheers

[spkesDE]

In the App Settings inside Homey, where you set the token.

Do you use my Telegram app or the app from Jorden?

That’s weird. I can’t seem to find that setting (unless you refer to Better Logic?)

[spkesDE]

Oh, Markdown is only in the current test version.

[MrBlue]

Great! The test version enabled me to enable MarkdownV2 and markdown appears to be working!
Would you consider an option to disable Link Previews for messages being sent? (Reddit - Dive into anything)

Also, I just noticed that with the update an unexpected error is being triggered while sending an image message:

    "type": 1,

Because you’re using variables that use SPECIAL characters. e.g . , * / & % $ And Telegram can’t differ from a Markdown SPECIAL character. So these non-Markdown Characters have to be escaped using a / e.g., /( or /* or /, since you can’t do this, because you’re using variables, you have two ways to fix this. Either use HTML Markdown or use Better Logic Library and add a custom function for escaping Like this one and use it like this: {[escapeRegex(variable)]} function escapeRegex(string) { …

Both are related to special characters. I would recommand using BLL or use HTML.

Will add a option to for that.

Edit: done Telegram App for Homey | Homey

[MrBlue]

I’m using the img url coming from the P2000 app (P2000 App voor Homey | Homey), so not something I created myself.

I’ll see if the HTML formatting setting instead of MarkdownV2 will solve my issue

[Satoer]

Hi All!

Question, is it also possible to send a silent image? Just like the silent message.

[Daniel_Fille]

Have one little problem, every time I restart homey I need to set my commands again in the bot father for the Homey bot, anyone have a fix so I don’t have to do that every time? Or anyone have an other idea? My memory’s for all commands are not the best

[spkesDE]

What version of the bot you’re using?

[Daniel_Fille]

2.7.1 if it is the app you mean, or how do I check bot version?

[spkesDE]

To keep the commands, you have to use the latest test version of the app.

Great! and thanks for a great app!

Since I installed version 2.9 TEST, I’m having issues sending image URL’s to Telegram. It’s the same image URL where the image gets updated, but Telegram shows the first image sent with 2.9. It looks like caching in Telegram, but I’ve never had that issue before. Did something change in 2.9 that caused this, and if so, can it be resolved?

Update: It is caching, when I add ?v=x (where x is a number, like ?v=1), it will load the new image.

[spkesDE]

Fixed!

[Chris_nl]

That was fast Will test it out as soon as I get home tonight

Took me longer to figure out what was causing it then for you to fix it, thanks so much for your quick fix

Update: Just tested it, Works fina again!

But why do you use two Telegram bots?

Hi Julian, continuing in your app topic if you don’t mind.
When I use the bot with pre-defined answers, nothing happens when I enter a phrase myself as an answer.
I was just assuming ‘that’s probably how it works, can´t have both’.
So, that’s why I use a second bot, without pre-defined answers, which accepts any entered answer.

But looking at your question it should work, both pre-defined and free-to-enter answers?
I checked the logs, but couldn’t find anything odd around the timestamps I tested this

I mean, I also have also a Send a <message to <chat> then card

I don’t really know where the issue is. Could you explain the issue you’re facing a little more?
