I am getting a syntax error everytime i try to run the code for sensing a message via telegram
Here is the code:


And this is the error:

Try the below code, name it conf.py

   bolt_api_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"                 # This is your Bolt Cloud API Key
device_id = "BOLTXXXXXXX"                    # This is the device ID and will be similar to BOLTXXXX where XXXX is some numbers
telegram_chat_id = "@XXXXXX"            # This is the channel ID of the created Telegram channel. Paste after @ symbol.
telegram_bot_id = "botXXXXXXX"           # This is the bot ID of the created Telegram Bot. Paste after bot text.
threshold = 300                    # Threshold beyond which the alert should be sent

here is the complete code , name it tel_alert.py

              ". The current value is " + str(temp)

    print("This is the Telegram status:", telegram_status)

# Step 4
time.sleep(10)

If you are facing difficulties in the channel id and bot id part,please search in bolt forum.You will find the required solution.

Hope this helps ! :slight_smile:

you have missed to use the brackets after double quotes and to use string function str(sensor_value)

I got it, thank you :))) I had missed the bracket in print command.

Thank you so muchh :))
