Now since we want to use telegram bot feature to control our IoT device so for that we have to do some initialization setup on Arduino IDE.

Steps:

  1. Setting up Telegram Bot Libraries

    • Now in Arduino IDE, Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries and search for telegram.
    • Install Universal Telegram Bot(If it asks you to install JSON dependeny then click on Install all).
    • Search for json and make sure ArduinoJson is installed(Working with v6.17.2).

  2. Getting the telegram Bot Token

    • Open telegram app and search for BotFather. Click on the account with blue tick.

    • Tap Start

    • Type /newbot to create new bot.

    • Give the name to your bot.

    • Give username to your bot. It's should end with bot in name.

    • Now at (1) it gives you the bot interface link and (2) provides you the HTTP API Key.Keep both the things private to yourself.
