Raspberry Pi and Arduino - Go to The Next Level - Step 7 (RPi) - Send Message and Photo to Telegram

The tutorial explains how to set up and use a Telegram bot to send messages and photos when a door request is made. It covers initializing the bot, reading the token, and sending messages with chat IDs. The tutorial also addresses improving code efficiency by adding delays and flags to prevent spamming and flooding the chat with notifications.

What is the primary purpose of integrating a Telegram bot in this project?

• To create a social media platform

• To automate the door opening process

• To control the Raspberry Pi remotely

• To send a message and photo when a door open request is made

What is required before initializing the Telegram bot in the code?

• A bot token and a group chat setup

• A Raspberry Pi with a camera

• An Arduino board

• A smartphone with the Telegram app

Where is the bot token stored for use in the code?

• In the Arduino memory

• In the Telegram app

• In a cloud storage service

• In a local file on the Raspberry Pi

What additional information is sent along with the photo in the Telegram message?

• The battery status of the device

• The location of the Raspberry Pi

• The current weather conditions

• Instructions to open or deny access

How can users respond to the Telegram notification?

• By calling a phone number

• By sending 'open' or 'deny'

• By clicking on a link

• By sending a voice message

What issue arises from pressing the button multiple times?

• The system crashes

• The Telegram bot stops working

• The camera takes blurry photos

• The conversation gets flooded with requests

What solution is implemented to prevent spamming of notifications?

• Increasing the camera resolution

• Sending notifications only during the day

• Adding a delay and a flag to manage requests

• Disabling the button after one press

What is the purpose of the 'open door request' flag in the code?

• To track the number of requests

• To ensure only one notification is sent per request

• To log the time of each request

• To reset the system after each request

How often can a new photo be sent to Telegram after a button press?

• Every 15 seconds

• Every 2 seconds

• Every 10 seconds

• Every 5 seconds

What happens if the button is pressed again before the delay period ends?

• The system crashes

• A new photo is taken immediately

• The previous request is canceled

• The system ignores the press
