I use the HA one to send images from frigate as sort of a “backup” of alerts in case my house is robbed and I lose access to my server. For arr I have it send me and my family alerts when new episodes and movies are added to my Emby server. I run two bots.
You will need to create a bot first in telegram. There are many guides on it. Just follow the guide to create a bot and add yourself then add the bot to arr.
Thanks for responding. This is why open source is great. You can use telegram or ntfy or gotify (in my case) to do the same thing and choose whatever works best for you.
Soo is telegram safe? Anyone have alternatives to telegram that has easy to use bots? I use it for all my arr services and home assistant.
As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?

Ok that’s cool. How do you get arr to do the alerts?

I also used to use Telegram for these, but have recently switched to ntfy.sh Would highly recommend.

Telegram was never safe because it’s not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don’t need to rely on their promises and service.
Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.
