pimatic-telegram@1.1.14

---

Very nice!

I tested your PR. Some results:
On my node 4.6.2 pimatic the new plugin manager solves show incompatible plugin updates. So my installed pimatic-telegram@1.1.11 is not showing up anymore as a possible upgrade.
On my node 10.16.3 test system I changed a plugin package, to get a minimum required node version 20. In the same package I lowered the installed version number.
On the update page the plugin is shown as a possible update, that shouldn’t be because I don’t have node 20 installed (yet).
Is it the way I test or something else?

@bertreb this could not happen in a production environment, unless the user hacks a package as you did.
The change in pluginManager pulls package info such as version and required engine.node version from the NPM repository, and then compares requested (NPM package.json) node.engine.version against environment node version.

In your case it sees an upgradeable package:
(HACKED local package.json version < NPM package.json.version) => upgradeable)
(HACKED local package.json engine.node version is higher BUT not evaluated)

Unless I do not understand correctly.

@Dan your description is correct.
But shouldn’t the package.json engines.node version also be checked?

@bertreb Should not be necessary as we are only interested in the required node version listed in the upgrade package on the remote site. Then again, my logic is not necessarily logical .

Thanks, I will downgrade to 1.1.11.

Hi. I’m quite newby with node js… Could you please tell me how to downgrade to 1.1.11. I already have the ZIP on my pimatic/node-modules and have replaced the main files. Althouh I get get “1.1.11” when i see the plugin list it does not work. I have already reboot pimatic, and verufy the token and ChatID, but I still get the “Could not find an provider…” error when creating a rule because the predicate “send” does not appear.

Than you very much!!

@villariezo

sudo systemctl stop pimatic

cd ~/pimatic-app/node_modules
sudo rm -rf pimatic-telegram
npm install pimatic-telegram@1.1.11

Can you provide more information? The above does not really tell much…Also, did you follow the install guide?

• Output of node version node -v
• Pimatic startup log
• Telegram plugin and Telegram receiver device config from config.json

@dan said in pimatic-telegram@1.1.14:

node -v

v4.6.2

i manually added telegramreceiver device in config but only had errors and on the UI fields were grey-out so i removed it again. in the past i used telegram plugin without problem but this time it doesnt work somehow

@joamann latest telegram plugin is not working on node 4.x.

Try this to get it to work again:

sudo systemctl stop pimatic

cd ~/pimatic-app/node_modules
sudo rm -rf pimatic-telegram
npm install pimatic-telegram@1.1.11

sudo systemctl start pimatic

@djmvt its working now. thx!

@djmvt correct, It says so in the main post of this thread

@dan true! It’s too bad actually because the latest telegram plugin prevents me now from doing other pimatic updates within the GUI. I’m working on migrating to hass.io so for the time being it’s fine by me.

@djmvt Understood. To be fair I am not even using telegram myself anymore. Just providing maintenance and support as a courtesy to others for now.

@dan that’s absolutely great! And I’m thankful for the telegram plugin in the first place, it enabled a lot of possibilities for my configuration. So thanks for this plugin. It’s just that development of pimatic has stalled for a while now so no support for recent wifi smart switches, no Google home support etc. That’s mostly the reason to switch to another platform. And honestly? I don’t like that. Pimatic has been running fine for a few years, got my whole home automated with countdown timers and all so going to a new platform is like learning a new language.
Anyway that’s another discussion

@djmvt I’m still on Pimatic as the rule engine is unsurpassed really. And from a developer perspective its a great framework. Or I am just too lazy to educate myself on anything else

@djmvt Pimatic and Node-Red is a good pair.
Think about that.
Everything Pimatic can´t do, mostly Node-Red will do.
If you don´t want to use Node-Red (and MQTT), have a look at HA-Bridge, i think it “speaks” Google too.

I hate this complicated stuff that other systems have, it´s not User friendly. In my case (i´m 50 now) i have to learn a language everytime from the beginning if i´m not using it for a while
Thats annoying!

If you want to use Node-Red, don´t install the Node-Red-Plugin in Pimatic. The plugin comes with an old version of Node-Red. Install Node-Red in the normal way and the Pimatic-Plugin from “manage pallette” inside Node-Red.
