Domoticz

Hi all,

I've some problems with setting up Telegram.
I followed the wiki instructions, but I'm stuck at the Domoticz set up.

What did I do?
I placed the URL en replaced #TO with my Telegram ID. (the URL is working if I open it and I recieve a message)
So my URL is: https://api.telegram.org/bot112233344:A ... t=#MESSAGE

On the left side I selected the smart meter.
Target type: Global variable
Device name: Elektra
Value to send: Usage current
Target variable:
Include unit: yes
Link active: yes

Which value do I need to use in the target variable field?
I hope someone can help me with this

Not sure about the Target Variable field, but your post seems to be mixing up two different sets of settings.

First you need to go to the Setup / Settings / Notifications - enable Custom HTTP / Action - put your Telegram ID into the To field, then fill the URL / Action field with:
https://api.telegram.org/bot112233344:A ... t=#MESSAGE
Press the Test button to see if it all works.

Second go to your device and set a notification choosing HTTP as the communication method.

How stupid of me.... I was looking at the data push -> HTTP.
It's working now, thanks for your help!
