The `telegram` platform uses [Telegram](https://web.telegram.org) to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android device, your Windows phone, or your iOS device.
|
|
|
|
The requirements are:
|
|
|
|
- You need a [Telegram bot](https://core.telegram.org/bots). Please follow those [instructions](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) to create one and get the token for your bot. Keep in mind that bots are not allowed to contact users. You need to make the first contact with your user. Meaning that you need to send a message to the bot from your user.
|
|
- The `chat_id` of an user.
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to retrieve your `chat_id` is visiting [https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_API_TOKEN/getUpdates](https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_API_TOKEN/getUpdates).
|
|
|
|
The result set will include your chat ID as `id` in the `from` section:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":254199982,
|
|
"message":{"message_id":27,"from":{"id":123456789,"first_name":"YOUR_FIRST_NAME YOUR_NICK_NAME","last_name":"YOUR_LAST_NAME","username":"YOUR_NICK_NAME"},"chat":{"id":123456789,"first_name":"YOUR_FIRST_NAME YOUR_NICK_NAME","last_name":"YOUR_LAST_NAME","username":"YOUR_NICK_NAME","type":"private"},"date":1678292650,"text":"test"}}]}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Another way to get your chat ID directly is described below:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import telegram
|
|
bot = telegram.Bot(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN')
|
|
chat_id = bot.getUpdates()[-1].message.chat_id
|
|
print(chat_id)
|
|
123456789
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable Telegram notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: telegram
|
|
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
chat_id: YOUR_CHAT_ID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): The API token of your bot.
|
