I've setted up a different way to handle notification.
I'm not so satisfy by the Telegram (HTTP) notification, of course this is NOT something related to Domoticz itself, but due to the limit of the HTTP api
so, I moved to the telegram CLI Messaging (based on Wiki).
In the meanwhile I'm approaching TTS system and actually I'm using Google TTS API
I have several scripts that sends notification... but going to change everyone, everytime I change/implement/remove something in the notification system is so annoying
So I decided to create a single place where to send notification... using some variables to handle messages and options...
that's my result and I would like to share with you:
SETTING UP VARIABLES
for each notification service you will need 2 variables:
for Google Speech
String gsLastMessage
not really used for data, but just to handle the LastUpdate value that will trigger a kind of 'antispam'
String gsMessage
Message to send
for Telegram-CLI
string tcLastMessage
not really used for data, but just to handle the LastUpdate value that will trigger a kind of 'antispam'
string tcMessage
Message to send
this variable needs to be formatted as follow: FirstName_LastName;Message to send
FirstName_LastName is the destinee name as saved in the contact list (see Telegram-CLI Wiki Page)
string tcSnapShot
Camera ID to send the snapshot to
Any notificatin need should update the Message variable...
then there is a UserVariable event that will handle the messages:
Code: Select all
-- Telegram Client (telegram-cli) script Name
-- https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Installing_Telegram_Notification_System
local tgEnable = true
local tgcCmdLine = 'sudo -u pi telegram.sh '
local tgcLM = 'tcLastMessage' -- Variable used to limit Messages
local tgcM = 'tcMessage'
local tgcLMdelay = 3 -- seconds between Messages
-- YES! you can loose some Messages
local tgMessage = uservariables[tgcM]
local tgSnap = 'tcSnapShot' -- Send SnapShot Trigger
local tgSnapSts = uservariables[tgSnap]
local tgSnapFile = '/home/pi/temp/snapshot.jpg'
local tgcParam = {}
-- Google Speech Settings & parameters

local gsEnable = true -- Enable voice Messages
local gsLM = 'gsLastMessage' -- Variable used to limit Messages
local gsM = 'gsMessage' -- Variable used to limit Messages
local gsLMdelay = 10 -- seconds between Messages
-- YES! you can loose some Messages
local gsLang = 'it' -- Set Language
local gsDefVol = '80%' -- Set RPI Volume
local gsNumID = '1' -- numId for volume information
-- use 'amixer controls' to obtain
local gsMessage = uservariables[gsM]

end
return commandArrayto prevent spamming messages I've introduced a Delay variable that (in secs) define the period between messages
This parameter cannot be get from the Message variable.
In this way... yes.. unfortunately you can loose some notification (in case they are fired together)
The Telegram script has been configured running user pi while Domoticz runs as root, so tu use the configuration stored in ~/.telegram-cli I have foced to run as pi with sudo -i pi
Why variables?
because I do not need to have a log
How to Force Messages?
edit the Message Variable manually
What is 'NO DATA'?
It means the script has run and the variables have been resetted
I see the message in the variable, but no notification has been sent
I know.. I think there are several updates of the variable within the delay period...
the message stay there also as information about 'what was not sent'
USAGE
to be used in your other script simply update the message variable (and camera IDX for telegram snapshot)
like:
Code: Select all
commandArray['Variable:tcMessage'] = 'Test Message for Telegram... snapshot will follow'
commandArray['Variable:tcSnapSta'] = '2' -- Send camera 2 Snapshot
commandArray['Variable:gsMessage'] = 'Test Message for Google Speech'well.. don't yell to me please
ciao
