Not sure, never looked into it. Once I have my Homey I can take a look into it.

You’re the first one that did something like this Thank you for sharing!

@spkesDE, you might have gotten a message or two from me for crashing my Telegram Notifications app

I was looking around in the settings of your app, and I noticed that you store the questions as part of the app settings.

let setting = await Homey.apps.getAppSetting({id:'com.spkes.telegramNotifications',name:'questions'});
console.log(setting);

It all went wrong when I tried to use the setAppSetting

DONT USE THIS LINE OF CODE AS IT WILL CRASH TELEGRAM NOTIFICATIONS
await Homey.apps.setAppSetting({id:'com.spkes.telegramNotifications',name:'questions',value:[{"question":"Test","UUID":"The_UUID_as_shown_in_the_app_for_this_question","buttons":["A","B"],"keepButtons":false,"disable_notification":false}]})
DONT USE THIS LINE OF CODE AS IT WILL CRASH TELEGRAM NOTIFICATIONS

I re-installed the app and all is working again

Yes, i do as a JSON. You fucked up the Json

Unable to initialize app SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1
    at JSON.parse ()

Structure should be

    question: string = "";
    UUID: string = "";
    buttons: string[] = [];
    keepButtons: boolean = false;
    disable_notification: boolean = false;

[
  {
    "question": "test",
    "UUID": "asdata45arfsa",
    "buttons": [
      "Yes",
      "No",
      "Maybe"
    ],
    "keepButtons": false,
    "disable_notification": false
  },
  {
    "question": "test",
    "UUID": "asdata45arfsa",
    "buttons": [
      "Yes",
      "No",
      "Maybe"
    ],
    "keepButtons": false,
    "disable_notification": false
  }
]

I know I did

After some more fiddling, I can now edit the answers of any question in the Telegram Notification app with a simple flow.

//Arguments {"question":"Test","answers":["A","B"]}
let myArgs = JSON.parse(args[0]);

let question = myArgs.question;
let answers = myArgs.answers;

let setting = await Homey.apps.getAppSetting({id:'com.spkes.telegramNotifications',name:'questions'});

let telegram_json = await JSON.parse(setting);
_.forEach(telegram_json, x => {
        if (x.question==question){
          x.buttons=answers
        }
    });

await Homey.apps.setAppSetting({
    id:'com.spkes.telegramNotifications',
    name:'questions',
    value:JSON.stringify(telegram_json)
    })

Please note, there’s zero error checking, I will add those later.

Is it possible to use text-styling in messages? Like bold and italic?

In the app Telegram Bot I use it very often (stars for bold, underscores for italic) to mark important parts of my messages or make clear that is only information. Can’t find the option so far…

I was used to Telegram Bot, but liked the idea of questions of this app, so I installed it and now I f*cked my Telegram Bot

spkesDE · December 24, 2022, 4:17pm

If the default messages markdown is not working I would have to take a look into. Since I don’t have a Homey Pro currently, it has to wait till I have mine again. Also I have quite a bunch of stuff on my todo list.

Bold => <b>bold</b>, <strong>bold</strong>, **bold**
Italic => <i>italic</i>, <em>italic</em> *italic*
Code => <code>code</code>, `code`
Strike => <s>strike</s>, <strike>strike</strike>, <del>strike</del>, ~~strike~~
Underline => <u>underline</u>
Pre => <pre language="c++">code</pre>,

Edit: Markdown support should be added with the next version. already done, needs testing. (Can’t be done from someone else, since there are some big changes on the telegram api)

JMH · December 24, 2022, 9:11pm

Just tested the codes, none of them work, as you mentioned already.
Is it in the test-version allready?

spkesDE · December 24, 2022, 9:28pm

No, local on my pc only since it has to be tested from my side first since it has huge changes on many bits. You have sadly to wait till I get my developer Homey Pro 2023. So hopefully mid/end January

Hamster · December 28, 2022, 8:04pm

@spkesDE,

How much control do we have on the text on the buttons? I have quite a bit of text, and the text is being truncated.

Can we force wordwrap or use large buttons (like the last button) for all the answers?

spkesDE · December 28, 2022, 8:09pm

About Word warp I’m not quite sure. It can be possible but I would have to test it, but my guts says that telegram will not allow it.

What I could offer is to make a option to the questions, where you can select the columns. But I have a quite long todo list with the app, so it will take a couple of weeks.

Edit:
Just a untested version of the change.

JP_van_den_H · December 30, 2022, 12:22pm

Hi, thanks for this app.
I don’t know what I’m missing, but I seem not be able to start.
I created a telegram bot and added the token, which lights up green. I wrote my bot /start, but there aren’t any instructions going further in the chat and I can’t find a user to send a message to.

It’s just me using it.
What am I doing wrong here?

spkesDE · December 30, 2022, 12:37pm

Are you writing the bot in private or in a group?
Are you using the test version or the live version?
Could you send me a diagnostic report?

spkesDE · February 4, 2023, 11:41am

Making good progress to implement all the planned changes
Running in some issues with Markdown but I’ll find a way

@spkesDE Homey Pro 2023: I’m trying to send images from an image tag, but it doesn’t work.

Depending on the kind of image tag I’m using, these are the errors:

Image tag from the standard Homey Virtual Camera devices:

Image tag from a Homey Gallery image:

Any idea what the problem could be?

spkesDE · February 11, 2023, 5:12pm

I’ll check this out. Most likely there is no cloud URL.

spkesDE · February 11, 2023, 5:20pm

Could you use the latest test version?

And send a Image Tag card without text! and create a diagnostic report?

I can’t get image tags to work on my HP2023 right now.
