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`).
