DzVents notify subsystem Telegram not working [Solved]

[delcara]

Version: 4.10197
Build Hash: 90c95998
Compile Date: 2018-11-11 15:33:34
dzVents Version: 2.4.7

When I try to only sent notifications to Telegram it's not working, I receive notifications on all configured services. (Email, pushover, telegram etc..)

The code below is working for pushover:

Code: Select all

dz.notify("Domoticz", "test", dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,dz.SOUND_DEFAULT, "" , dz.NSS_PUSHOVER)

When I replace dz.NSS_PUSHOVER whith dz.NSS_TELEGRAM I receive notifications on all services. Maybe it's a stupid simple thing but I can't seem to get it working. Is the syntax different for Telegram?

This is not working:

Code: Select all

dz.notify("Domoticz", "test", dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,dz.SOUND_DEFAULT, "" , dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)

Please have a look here as Telegram is not implemented in dzVents yet

Thnx, noted. Will try with this function in global_data till telegram support comes to DzVents.

Did a little bit of research and this code does also work on my system

Code: Select all

 dz.notify("Domoticz", "test", dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,dz.SOUND_DEFAULT, "" , "telegram")

One other option is to add this line

Code: Select all

		['NSS_TELEGRAM'] = 'telegram',

to domoticz/dzVents/runtime/Domoticz.lua (right after the line ['NSS_PUSHSAFER'] = 'pushsafer',) but then you have to repeat this every time when you update domoticz to a new version until @dannybloe, or someone else with enough knowledge of the GIT procedures, adds this to the version on GIT.

I use https://api.telegram.org/bot6488742271: ... t=#MESSAGE in Custom HTTP/Action. Works perfect for Telegram notifications (Of course I changed the Chat ID and API).

Code: Select all

...... = {dz.NSS_HTTP}

@Joep123, that is more or less the same approach as in the post I included in my original reply and that indeed works flawless. My preference for the dz.notify method I described in my later response is because you don't have to include the api-key and chat-id in your script.

Thnx! I see you have already created a pull request. Implemented it and works fine. Will repeat this until every update until it is added to a beta release.

PR is merged. Telegram can be used natively from domoticz version 4.10200 (dzVents 2.4.8) onwards.

Updated domoticz and using it natively now!
