Home Assistant App: Telegram Bot API

Telegram Bot API server for Home Assistant.

About

This app enables you to host your own Telegram Bot API server instead of using the official Telegram cloud servers at https://api.telegram.org.

Hosting your own server offers advantages such as larger file size limits for messages and faster response times. For more details, please refer to using a local bot API server in the official documentation.

The app is built using the hanwg/telegram-bot-api image, compiled directly from the TDLib official source.

Features

• Reduce network latency: Keep network traffic local and eliminate round-trips between your Telegram bot and the Bot API server.
• Increased file size limits: Upload and download files up to 2GB.
• Easy integration: Works seamlessly with the core Home Assistant Telegram bot integration.
