## 👀 esp32_home-assistant_telegram-bot Overview
Home Assistant controlled by telegram bot
## 🚀 Features
The design aims to provide real-time control and monitoring by leveraging a Telegram bot to verify collected data. This core functionality is extended to enable immediate awareness through voice notifications delivered directly via both the user's mobile device and the home system.
## 🔎 Preparation
1. `Find your wifi's name and password`
2. Open the Telegram for the Bot Token and follow these steps:
1. Open Telegram and search for `@BotFather`.
2. Start a chat with BotFather by typing `/start`.
3. Create a new bot with the `/newbot` command.
4. Follow the prompts to name your bot and choose a username.
5. Copy the API token provided by BotFather.
3. Get your Telegram Chat ID:
1. Open Telegram and search for `@userinfobot` or `@get_id_bot`.
2. Start a chat with the bot by typing `/start`.
3. The bot will reply with your **numeric user ID**.
4. For group chat ID:
1. Add your bot to the group.
2. Send a message in the group mentioning the bot.
3. Use the API call:
```
https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates
```
- Look for `"chat":{"id": ...}` in the JSON response.
- The `chat.id` is your group chat ID (usually negative for groups, e.g., `-1001234567890`).
