Hi, just make a private chat with YOUR bot, not with botFather

myayo

you speak french?

i have try also in my bot. and i have no answer.
can i send an image?

bugsounet

in all case, you have to talk with your bot not to BotFather

Do you set the Configuration (Pre-use) in your config ?

{
  module: 'MMM-TelegramBot',
  position: 'top_center',
  config: {
    telegramAPIKey : '<your Telegram API Token>',
    allowedUser : ['<your Telegram username without @>'], // This is NOT the username of bot.
  }
},

myayo

yes, i have this code in my config.and no answer

Can I send you my picture in your Telegram?

bugsounet

sure, but it will not correct the problem

start MM past ALL log since MM start ?

if pm2 manger started, stop it with pm2 stop 0
run MagicMirror manually

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

copy all logs, past it there

myayo

voila my log

I think your initial config is not really set

We will verify that:

Talk to BotFather

enter this command:

/mybots

You will see your list of bot and Click to your needed bot

Now click on `API Token`

BotFather will display your telegramAPIKey, copy this value and past it into your conf
like this:

{
  module: 'MMM-TelegramBot',
  position: 'top_center',
  config: {
    telegramAPIKey : "9214428XX:AAHylo_ZiBlFykyWKOYoC3J2kAAAAABZZZZ",
    allowedUser : ["<your Telegram username without @>"],
  }
},

allowedUser Filed

Warning: It’s not your Nickname ! it’s your username
You can discover it in parameter => profile
You username is with an @ sample mine is @bugsounet
so in your config just report your username WITHOUT @
sample for me :

 allowedUser : ["bugsounet"],

save your config and lanch magicmirror

Where is my bot !?

BotFather send you a link in blue with @<your bot name>
Just click on it !

send `/mychatid` with private message to your bot

TelegramBot will respond

/mychatid

Votre chatId est 70272XXX.

just past your chatid in the config:

{
  module: 'MMM-TelegramBot',
  position: 'top_center',
  config: {
    telegramAPIKey : "9214428XX:AAHylo_ZiBlFykyWKOYoC3J2kAAAAABZZZZ",
    allowedUser : ["bugsounet"],
    adminChatId : 70272XXX,
  }
},

Note: All values is some sample, just replace by yours

myayo

Thanks for your help, now it’s ok. my APIkey was not good.

Where can I find a list to use telegrambot whith ma magicmirror.
Can I hide one module?

myayo

I have to find to hide ans show module.

bugsounet

Hi, It’s actually coded with another module (GA) but maybe in TelegramBot directly is better, i will see if i can move it

Note: It’s to complex actually to do it with custom command

To show all commands (wiki says) try /commands

Solved command will show the id
