Telegram

The telegram integration集成将 Home Assistant 与您的设备、服务等连接和集成。 [Learn more] uses Telegram to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to your Telegram application(s).

Setup example

To create your first Telegram bot, follow these steps:

  • Bots are not allowed to contact users. You need to make the first contact from the user for which you want to set up the bot.
  1. Tell Telegram to create a bot for you:

    • In Telegram, open a chat with @BotFather and enter /newbot.
    • Follow the instructions on screen and give your bot a name.
    • BotFather will give you a link to your new bot and an HTTP API token.
      • Store the token somewhere safe.
  2. To get a chat ID, send any message to the GetIDs bot.

    • Then, enter /start.
    • The bot will return your chat ID and the username.
  3. Create a Telegram bot in Home Assistant:

    • Paste this into your configuration file:

    • Replace the api_key and the allowed_chat_ids with your data.

      # Telegram Bot
      telegram_bot:
        - platform: polling
          api_key: "1117774004:EABQulCACdgkQOTN3hS_5HZwSwxDlekCixr"
          allowed_chat_ids:
            - 44441111
      
  4. Create a notifier:

    • Paste this into your configuration file:

    • Replace the name and the chat_id with your data.

      # Notifier
      notify:
        - platform: telegram
          name: "sarah"
          chat_id: 44441111
      
    • Restart Home Assistant.

  5. From the conversation with BotFather, select the link to open a chat with your new bot.

  6. In the chat with the new bot, enter /start.

  7. Test the action:

    • Go to Developer tools > Actions > YAML mode.

    • Paste this into the YAML file:

    • Replace the service and the message with your data.

      action: notify.sarah
      data:
        message: "Yay! A message from Home Assistant."
      
    • Select Perform action. You should now get a message.

  8. You can do more with this. Check out the configuration descriptions and examples below.

Methods to retrieve a chat_id

Method 1: You can get your chat_id by sending any message to the GetIDs bot.

Method 2: To retrieve your chat_id you can visit https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_API_TOKEN>/getUpdates or to use $ curl -X GET https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_API_TOKEN>/getUpdates after you have sent the bot a message. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with your actual token.

The result set will include your chat ID as id in the chat section:

{
	"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"
		}
	}]
}

Method 3: Another way to get your chat ID directly is described below. Start your Python interpreter from the command-line:

$ python3
>>> import telegram
>>> bot = telegram.Bot(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN')
>>> chat_id = bot.getUpdates()[-1].message.chat_id
>>> print(chat_id)
123456789

Tip

If you want to add new chat IDs then you will need to disable the active configuration to actually see the result with the IDs, otherwise you may only get empty results array.

Method 4: You can also get the chat ID from the Home Assistant logs. If you have set up the bot already, you can send a message to your bot from an unauthorized ID and you will see an error entry in the log containing the ID.
Open your Home Assistant instance and show your Home Assistant logs.
