Ask @BotFather to create new bot /newbot.
You will be asked to enter name of the bot and then the username. After that you will get the Token.
You should set password for communication in configuration dialog.
To authenticate user by Bot write "/password phrase", where phrase is your configured password.
Note: you can use short form "/p phrase".
You can send message to all authenticated users over messageBox sendTo('telegram', 'Test message')
or to specific user sendTo('telegram', '@userName Test message').
User must be authenticated before.
You can specifiy user in that way too:
sendTo('telegram', {user: 'UserName', text: 'Test message'}, function (res) {
console.log('Sent to ' + res + ' users');
});
You can send message over state too, just set state "telegram.INSTANCE.communicate.response" with value "@userName Test message".
You can use telegram with text2command adapter. There are predefined communication schema and you can command to you home in text form.
To send photo, just send a path to file instead of text: sendTo('telegram', 'absolute/path/file.png').
