Telegram: connection refused

[utrom (Vladimir)]

Hi, everyone.

I’ve begun to use OH2 at my OrangePi with Ubuntu.
I have some items and no proplems with it, but i want to use notification via Telegram,

I’ve been created bot by instruction Telegram - Actions | openHAB, of course add Telegram action. And i can sent to my bot message over api.telegram.com use the chatid and token. Also added nessesary command in the .rules file to rule, which i need. But. When condition is met, in console appeared message:

[WARN ] [hab.action.telegram.internal.Telegram] - Transport error: {}
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

chatid and token in config same as i use in api.
What its may be?

Please post you telegram.cfg

#
# Read http://www.instructables.com/id/Telegram-Bots-for-beginners/
# to see how to set up bots and find your chat ids
#

bots=my_bot

my_bot.chatId=chatidhere
my_bot.token=tokenhere


# bot2.chatId=654321
# bot2.token=yyyyyyyyyyy

[vzorglub (Vincent Regaud)]

It looks ok
Try removing the _ and use mybot instead and then restart openHAB
Monitor the logs when it restarts for telegram log messages

i’ve renamed bot to mybot and now telegram.cfg looks like this:

#
# Read http://www.instructables.com/id/Telegram-Bots-for-beginners/
# to see how to set up bots and find your chat ids
#

bots=mybot

mybot.chatId=chatidhere
mybot.token=tokenhere


# bot2.chatId=654321
# bot2.token=yyyyyyyyyyy

after restart OH i have same message. Nothing changed.

@utrom

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Double check your token
If it is a group chat, you need to add - infront. For eg. -654321

[utrom (Vladimir)]

i’ve inserted token and chatid in this string:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<mytoken>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chatid>&text=testing123

w/o “<…>” from telegram.cfg and recieved message “testing123” on my phone.

Try clearing the cache

Clear the Cache

Often when one encounters a problem with OH, particularly after an update, OH will refuse to run or certain parts of OH stop working. Some reported errors include: 500 or 404 errors when accessing the UIs lots of exceptions from Jetty or other core components in openhab.log OH refuses to start at all The first step in debugging the problem is to clear the tmp and cache. Installed OH If you are running an installed OH (openHABian, installed using apt or yum): openhab-cli stop openhab-cl…

Think, i know what’s the matter.
from OrangePI trying:

orangepi@OrangePI:~$ wget -O /dev/null "https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chatid>&text=testing"
--2018-12-17 00:37:46--  https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chatid>&text=testing

Connecting to api.telegram.org (api.telegram.org)|2001:67c:4e8:f004::9|:443... failed: Connection timed out.

and from PC it works, because i’m using VPN (w/o VPN OpenHab community working bad). If i turn off VPN, from PC link doe not work too. Most likely, IP was bannet by Telegram

Daer Vladimir,

sorry,
Did you decide problem with VPN on OrangePI and Telegram?
