RaspPyTelebot (RaspberryPi + Python + TelegramBot)

In this tutorial we are going to use TelegramBot with Python Code to connect to RasberryPi Camera and Send us the picture via Telegram. 

* Hardware

    - Rasberry Pi 

    - Camera Pi

* Software

    - Python 2.7.x

    - TelegramBot (You need to have one, We will used its Token in the script)

We going to use short short to control via telegram:

/ap  = ping Access Point IP Address (Up/Down)

/ip  = get Raspberry Pi IP Address

/pic = take the picture and send us via Telegram

This is the code script sample (Keep these two files in the same folder)  :

    - telebot.py

    - ip_address.sh

=======================   telebot.py =========================

    if msg['text'] == '/ap':

        ap1='192.168.1.1'

        ping_ap1 = pyping.ping(ap1)

        bot.sendMessage(chat_id, 'Pleas wait...')

        if ping_ap1.ret_code == 0:

            print(ap1 + " is up")

            bot.sendMessage(chat_id, "Access Point " + ap1 + " Up")

        else:

            bot.sendMessage(chat_id, "Access Point" + ap1 + " Down")

        #time.sleep(1)

        f = open(CUR_PWD + "/ip_address.txt", "r")

        ip_add = f.read()

        bot.sendMessage(chat_id, "Pi IP Address: " + ip_add)

        print("Pi IP Address: " + ip_add)

        f.close()

        camera.capture(CUR_PWD + '/image.jpg')

        #camera.stop_preview()

        bot.sendDocument(chat_id, open(CUR_PWD + '/image.jpg', 'rb'))

        print('sent image.jpg')

def main():
