Duet Telegram bot

IdefixRC

Hi guys,

Resurrecting this as I found very little other info on this (coming from Octoprint, Telegram was super useful)

I just tried to install and run the bot on a Pi Zero but it failed.
Here is the process I used (might help others to spot my error or serve as instructions - once fixed):

Install headless Rasbian image (2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.img)
Installed NodeJS as follows (the instructions did not work with the Pi Zero armv6 CPU)
- sudo apt-get install curl
- curl -o node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l.tar.gz https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.7.1/node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
- tar -xzf node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
- sudo cp -r node-v9.7.1-linux-armv6l/* /usr/local/
- checked if it works with:
  - node -v
  - npm -v
- added git just in case:
  - sudo apt-get install git
installed the 11 dependencies listed on the page with:
- sudo npm i <dependency name>
ran the bot by typing duetbot
answered yes to create the default config
used telegram to create the bot account:
- Open a chat with @botfather in Telegram Messenger.
- Send /newbot to @botfather and follow the instructions.
- received a long token (example only) HTTP API: 432423:DSFDD_KeassESFD23221Hdksa213I
edited the default config with:
- sudo nano /home/pi/.duetbot.json
- set the IP of the DuetBoard
- set the token to the one received without HTTP API: (432423:DSFDD_KeassESFD23221Hdksa213I)
ran the bot by typing duetbot

Duetbot then started:

Connecting to duet...
Checking for upload dir...
Uploads enabled
Bot started...

followed by this error:
Failed to process updates. { Error: 401: Unauthorized
at buildConfig.then.then.then.then (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/duet-telegram/node_modules/telegraf/core/network/client.js:281:17)

payload: {} } }

I further checked that the duetwifi has no password set as I see from the notes that this is not yet supported. Unfortunately still no luck. Any help is apprechiated.

@IdefixRC
Not sure if you every got this fixed, but I noticed I would only get this message when nothing was printing. IE Idle state has no status but printing messages came through.

I installed and it worked but not all commands.
/status - not working
/macros - not working

Hi, I'm installing the whole....just a question: do the bot starts automatically with the Pi or should I do something to make it autosart?

Thanks

Duet 3 and sbc running duetbot on the sbc.
Getting error:

Connecting to duet...
Duet is offline!
Checking for upload dir...
Uploads disabled: Request to http://tristan-painting-machine.local/rr_filelist?dir=0%3A%2Fgcodes%2Ftelegram failed. code: 404
Bot started...

Also tried with the same numerical ip address that works to connect to dwc.
Any advice?

@the_dragonlord I don't remember if I did the file or get on the web but you have to make duetbot as a service with a file "duetbot.service" or whatever into /etc/systemd/system as root

File content (edited):

[Unit]
Description=node js duetbot for telegram
#after network is up
After=network.target 

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/usr/bin
ExecStart=duetbot
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=1500ms
Type=forking
#user pi or root, will determine where the script will search the configuration file **.duetbot.json** 
User=pi
# Note Debian/Ubuntu uses 'nogroup', RHEL/Fedora uses 'nobody'
Group=nogroup
Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
# log send to syslog
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog

# syslog name id
SyslogIdentifier=duetbot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And don't forget to execute after that :

#to load the file for the systemctl manager
systemctl daemon-reload

# to start and test
service duetbot start 

# to check if loaded an active
service duetbot status 

# if all is good you can tell the system to execute it as a service on boot :
systemctl enable duetbot

#if it's ok the system will respond :
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/duetbot.service → /etc/systemd/system/duetbot.service.
