Hi, This is my config: `# Read http://www.instructables.com/id/Telegram-Bots-for-beginners/` `# to see how to set up bots and find your chat ids` `# bots=bot1,bot2` `bots=heinz,kathleen` `# Handy Heinz S7 Active` `heinz.chatId=7XXXXXXX7` `heinz.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX` `# Handy Kathleen iPhone` `kathleen.chatId=7XXXXXXX7` `kathleen.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX` and this is my rule entry: `sendTelegram("heinz", "Trockner ist fertig!")` `sendTelegram("kathleen", "Trockner ist fertig!")` But I am receiving in openhab log this error: `[WARN] [ab.action.telegram.internal.Telegram] - Method failed: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found` Do you know where to look for a solution? Thanks ---

Try adding a `-` in front of the chatId ```auto # Read http://www.instructables.com/id/Telegram-Bots-for-beginners/ # to see how to set up bots and find your chat ids # bots=bot1,bot2 bots=heinz,kathleen # Handy Heinz S7 Active heinz.chatId=-XXXXXXXX heinz.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # Handy Kathleen iPhone kathleen.chatId=-XXXXXXXX kathleen.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ``` @H102 The 404 error comes from telegram responding that the binding asked for an address it couldn’t find. Nothing to do with the http binding I assume that your tokens are correct. ---

Yeah!! Please mark the thread as solved. The telegram API is not always fully available and you can’t get 404 for that reason too. ---

Maybe I was not precise enough. The check of the `https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates` was successful But I still receive the 404 error message and no notification ---

Sorry, the chatIds put a `-` in front: ```auto # Read http://www.instructables.com/id/Telegram-Bots-for-beginners/ # to see how to set up bots and find your chat ids # bots=bot1,bot2 bots=heinz,kathleen # Handy Heinz S7 Active heinz.chatId=-XXXXXXX heinz.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # Handy Kathleen iPhone kathleen.chatId=-XXXXXXXX kathleen.token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ``` ---

Try to configure only with one bot and see if that works. You can also test by sending the telegram to your group name ‘bots’. ---

The dash (`-`) in front of the `chatId` is a MUST for _group_ chats. For a regular chat, there is no dash. You might want to look to the config of the telegram action. Maybe you tested more config’s and the action didn’t save properly the new one. Take a look here [HowTo: Manage OpenHab 2 configurations](https://community.openhab.org/t/howto-manage-openhab-2-configurations/15940), section **Some useful Karaf console commands**. Try and view the current `telegram` config in karaf console: ```auto config:list "(service.pid=org.openhab.telegram)" ``` If the displayed config doesn’t match the one from `telegram.cfg` you should delete it and let the action re-load the config from file by restarting openHAB.
