Hi, has anyone managed to get the Telegram Bot app running? I installed it, created the Token, copied it into the settings, and then ran the /register command in the bot. First of all there is no reaction from the bot, neither on the /register command nor on “ping”. Restarting Homey and the app did not change anything. Same for a couple of reinstalls. I created a simple flow but when I try to enter something in the “Search” field of the Telegram card, I only receive a very unspecific error. However the search field needs to be set, otherwise I cannot run the flow. Any ideas? Johannes ---

Did you manage to sort this out? I have the same problem. Created the bot, added the API key and sent the registration code. My user is now registered in the bot, i see my user in the list and i can use it in flows. But when i sent a Ping i dont get the Pong, also i dont get any message that the bot is sending from a flow. In the logfile i see that the bot is receiving my Ping messages, and that it sents the Flow results, but i just dont receive them. ---

Hey, sry for the late reply. I did not continue to use TG, using the Homey internal notifications only. ---

i gave up, as it looks like abandon ware now I just used IFTTT as that hooks into Homey and it can connect to telegram, you dont get a private bot tho, which would have been nice. but it was working easilly ---

> [@glenn\_clough](#): > > i gave up, as it looks like abandon ware now Well, can tell u it works here on Homey FW versions 5.0.0, 4.2.0 and 3.1.0. So it’s not abandoned for sure. ---

If anyone’s still looking, try this. Works like a charm > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook messenger](https://community.homey.app/t/app-just-released-whatsapp-signal-telegram-facebook-messenger/48374): > > Hi all. I was looking for a way to make a Homey app for Signal messenger. After some days work I had it working on my PC and was about to port it to Homey. Unfortunately the Homey app always crashes when it starts up. This is probably caused by the very heavy package that is required to run a full client with all the encryption that Signal has. I tried reducing the package in size, but still Homey keeps crashing (and I used a Homey Pro for my trials). So for now I have stopped working on a fu…
