@daniele Thanks for the suggestions. I know I can get the end result I want with operations so probably go that route for now and see what new surprises version 2 brings!

@daniele I experimented with 2x gateway with nrf24l01+ but that seemed to be problematic (not power supply related either).

So now I think I will have one pi for the security sensors only and another for all the rest.

But then I hit a problem as the pir sensors that will usually turn on lights (via pi1 controller) will also double as a motion sensor when the alarm system is active. So I have to get that message from pi1 to pi2.

If I have 2 different pi machines each running it's own instance of mycontroller, what options are there to forward payload between them?

Both will be connected to ethernet so that is an option, but how to do it? Is there a better solution?

@jkandasa Thank you sooooo much for that!

It was the crucial bit of info/understanding that I was missing.

It works fine now!

If this turns out to be the same in myc2.0, I'll write a tutorial for it.

@jkandasa I did follow that post as much as I could, but where do you get the all important 'channel username' from?

I think that's the bit I don't yet understand!

@jkandasa I set up a rule and operation.

Both triggered but no message on phone.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Also is there a free way to get sms from mycontroller to phone?

Finally just to let you know I have been seeing a lot of 503 errors on the mycontroller site lately.

@jkandasa I thought I had to add the telegram token and the telegram ID in mycontroller, no?

Seems that the ID shown in mycontroller is not the same as the ID from telegram bot. Should they match?

I admit I never used telegram before and only doing this to get fast alert to my phone.

@skywatch admin/admin - got it now!

@tag I get invalid log in credentials but using the same ones to log into the forum?

How can I change or delete the telegram id please?

In edit mode it won't let me change it!
