Hello there, I have been trying to set up a rule to send me a message through TelegramBot whenever a Samsung TV is turned on.

I have used the UI to generate the rule

tvrule
tvrule1327Ɨ835 120 KB

and the code generated is this

triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      thingUID: samsungtv:tv:137420b8_f069_1fee_ccb5_0a29ff374650
      status: ONLINE
    type: core.ThingStatusUpdateTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      itemName: TelegramBot
      command: telegramAction.sendTelegram("TV Studio Accesa")
    type: core.ItemCommandAction

OpenHab does correcty ā€œreadā€ the status of the TV (I have been turning it on and off via its own remote while looking at the ā€œthingsā€ page), however the trigger chosen (Status) seems not to activate the rule.

I am a little confused by the literature. Where am I supposed to insert the

val telegramAction = getActions("telegram","telegram:telegramBot:<uid>")

to call up the rule actions as specified in the Telegram - Bindings documentation?

The BOT has been correctly activated and tested with success following the above documentation.

Please help!

You will need to change Jimmy to your bot

actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      type: application/vnd.openhab.dsl.rule
      script: >-2
           val telegramAction = getActions("telegram","telegram:telegramBot:Jimmy")
           telegramAction.sendTelegram("TV Studio Accesa")
    type: script.ScriptAction

Hi,
I make a mistake in the number of the bot. Correct it and it works.
Solution from denominator works fine.

Sorry Iā€™m confuse, is there a way to send a telegram message from the gui? Or i have to creat a script?
Sorry I just realize that your executing a script.
One more question. Can I use this bind with phyton or jacascript srcipt?

You need to have items for the binding to write to
