openHAB and Tankerkönig gas prices + Telegram integration - Second iteration

[ads (Andreas)]

After posting my first iteration of integrating Tankerkönig and Telegram into my openHAB system, @kugelsicha pointed out that I can use the Telegram query function.
I implemented that now, and wrote an additional blog post. Unfortunately the old posting is locked, and I can’t add the update there.

Hey Andreas,

Thanks for sharing this solution… I implemented this aswell…

Only one small suggestion regrading your rule rule “Telegram Bot receive tanken answer”

replace:

    } else {
        telegramAction.sendTelegram(Long::parseLong(telegramLastMessageChatId.state.toString), "Unknown option!")
    }

with:

    } else {
        telegramAction.sendTelegramAnswer(Long::parseLong(TelegramBotChatId.state.toString), TelegramBotReplyId.state.toString, "unknown option!")
    }

why?

@Readme says

sendTelegramAnswer(String replyId, String message)

Sends a message after the user has answered a question. You should always call this method after you received an answer. It will remove buttons from the specific question and will also stop the progress bar displayed at the client side. If no message is necessary, just pass null here.

I was thinking about that. However this is the part where the Rule catches any errors - and here is a reply which is not in the list of preset options. Most likely something went wrong.
So I don’t bother stopping the open Telegram quest, but throw a general error into the group.
Your mileage might vary…
