dtgbot - Domoticz TeleGram BOT

[jvdz]

There clearly is an issue with the index of the room it is trying to retrieve the devices for. The idx field should be a number in stead of a name.
Could you post (or PM) the result of the json : http://192.168.1.XXX:8080/json.htm?type ... &used=true
Is "Planta Baja" a name of a room?

Hi!

Thank you jvdz! PM send.

"Planta Baja" is a floor name not a room. It means low level in spanish.

I'm really very grateful jvdz.

After jvdz help i got a new error in the dtb.log....

Guys it may sound obvious, but do not use spaces in domoticz objects names.

Thnx to jvdz for the help. You are Jedi Master

Greetings from spain.

Hi I just don't have any luck getting dtgbot stating. I dont use any password on Domoticz.

This is the error I am getting:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/lua5.2: /home/pi/dtgbot//dtg_domoticz.lua:125: attempt to get length of global 'result' (a nil value)

Here is the details from Domoticz:

[jvdz]

You probably do not have any Scenes defined yet in Domoticz and the Function is "complaining" about that.
Please edit your dtg_domoticz.lua and update the below function with this version which should skip in case no Scenes are available:

Code: Select all

-- returns a list of Domoticz items based on type i.e. devices or scenes
function device_list_names_idxs(DeviceType)
  --returns a devcie idx based on its name
  local idx, k, record, decoded_response
  decoded_response = device_list(DeviceType)
  result = decoded_response['result']
  devices = {}
  devicesproperties = {}
  if result ~= nil then
	  for i = 1, #result do
		record = result[i]
		if type(record) == "table" then
		  if DeviceType == "plans" then
			devices[record['Name']] = record['idx']
		  else
			devices[string.lower(record['Name'])] = record['idx']
			devices[record['idx']] = record['Name']
			if DeviceType == 'scenes' then
			  devicesproperties[record['idx']] = {Type=record['Type'], SwitchType = record['Type']}
			end
		  end
		end
	  end
  end
  return devices, devicesproperties
end

Thanks
Jos

Thanks jvdz once I create my scenes dtgbot started.

[fhwessels]

I now have the bot up and running. When I type a command like "help" in from the telegram I don't get a response back from the bot. Why will that be?

I now have the bot up and running. When I type a command like "help" in from the telegram I don't get a response back from the bot. Why will that be?

Try a slash infront of help - /help - should then get a response.
Check out the Telegram generic pages, they document things like this behaviour.

[fhwessels]

hi I did try the /help as well and still don't get the response. Here is the info from the getUpdate log

[jvdz]

When sending a text message to the BOT you defined, the dtgbot should start processing it and it will show up in the log.
I believe that the new BOTs are by default in private mode, which means only commands prefixed with a slash "/" will be send to the BOT.
https://core.telegram.org/bots look for /setprivacy

Have you followed the https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Telegram_ ... ur_chat_id section in the WiKi?
Does that work?
Are there any errors listed in: dtb.log.errors?

You also haven't set the TelegramBotWhiteListedIDs yet, which you might want to do to ensure nobody else can send commands to your Domoticz setup.

Jos

DTGBOT.lua should be doing the same as what you have done manually.
Can you set the Domoticz uservariable TelegramBotLoglevel to 2, restart DTGBOT, send a command to the bot and show or send me the log (after removing any private info) ?
It should contain a lot more information about what it is doing exactly at startup.

Did you add the bot prefix in this line in /etc/profile.d/DomoticzData.sh?

Code: Select all

export TelegramBotToken="000000000:keykeykeykeykeykeykeykey"

Great to hear.
Don't forget to change the debuglevel back to 0 or else the logfile will grow pretty fast.

Enjoy

Hello
I wonder if with Telegram Remote Control is posible to get the status of devices. I just get a list of devices and I can on/off them, but I dont know if they are on or off!!!.
I mean with Remote Control, no with the new "bots system".
The info about bots I've found is not clear, and it looks like the remote control is easier for me.

Thanks

Hello,

I've made a Dokerfile to easily build and run Telegram BOT on my Raspberry.

To build and run it
1 -Install docker
Depend of your Linux ARM distribution. For example, with Raspbian Jessie, you can fin a '.deb' file here, with last versions of docker : http://blog.hypriot.com/downloads/

2 - Build the container image

Code: Select all

docker build -t telegrambot git://github.com/macjl/dtgbot-docker

3 - Run the container with your Telegram parameters :

Code: Select all

docker run -dt --restart=always --name telegrambot --env DomoticzIP=192.168.0.30 --env DomoticzPort=8080 --env TelegramBotToken="123456:ABCDEFG" --env TelegramChatId="987654321" telegrambot

4 - Verify the logs to see if everything is OK

Code: Select all

docker logs telegrambot

Please tell me if you like it!
