Click here to download the Universal Arduino Telegram Bot library.To interact with the Telegram bot, we’ll use the Universal Telegram Bot Library created by Brian Lough that provides an easy interface for the Telegram Bot API.įollow the next steps to install the latest release of the library. Installing ESP8266 Board in Arduino IDE (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).Installing the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).We’ll program the ESP32 and ESP8266 boards using Arduino IDE, so make sure you have them installed in your Arduino IDE. Go to Google Play or App Store, download and install Telegram. In this tutorial you’ll learn how to use Telegram to send messages to your bot to control the ESP outputs from anywhere (you just need Telegram and access to the internet). The ESP32/ESP8266 will interact with the Telegram bot to receive and handle the messages, and send responses. You control your bots using HTTPS requests to Telegram Bot API“. Users can interact with bots by sending them messages, commands and inline requests. “ Bots are third-party applications that run inside Telegram. Telegram allows you to create bots that you can interact with. You can easily install it in your smartphone (Android and iPhone) or computer (PC, Mac and Linux). Telegram Messenger is a cloud-based instant messaging and voice over IP service. The idea is to apply the concepts learned in your own projects. This is a simple project, but shows how you can use Telegram in your IoT and Home Automation projects. You can send the /start message to receive a welcome message with the commands to control the board.When the ESP receives that message, the bot responds with the current GPIO state Additionally, you can also send the message /state to request the current GPIO state.Similarly, when you send the message /led_off, it turns GPIO 2 off.When you send the message /led_on to the bot, the ESP board receives the message and turns GPIO 2 on.You can start a conversation with the bot.You’ll create a Telegram bot for your ESP32/ESP8266 board.
