Control a greenhouse by using Telegram app and a Raspberry Pi. I did not reinvent the wheel.
Thank you for inspiring me, Stefan Weigert and Felix Stern

- download latest stretch lite w/o desktop
- prepare sd card / flash image, e.g. use Etcher
- enable SSH access
- As of the November 2016 release, Raspbian has the SSH server disabled by default. You will have to enable it manually.
- For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named "ssh", without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card.
adapt /etc/dhcpcd.conf
sudo service dhcpcd status
sudo service dhcpcd start // if not yet started
sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
sudo reboot
- how-to at elektronik-kompendium (I recommend variant 2)
- also helpful, how-to for wlan
- another how-to at elektronik-kompendium
Retest and doublecheck network conection and settings before executing next steps!!!!!

If you get something, then you have it already installed. The next step is to work out if it’s installed via a standard package or from source. If you installed it from source, then you know what you’re doing – carry on – but if it’s installed as a package, you will need to remove the package first. To do this:
sudo apt-get purge wiringpi
hash -r
WiringPi is maintained under GIT for ease of change tracking. If required to install do it like described as followed.
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
cd git
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd ~/wiringPi
git pull origin
cd ~/wiringPi
./build
Make them executable and chown root:root!
- access.py - external file, content will not provided, contains api token, chat IDs and other sensitive data
- greenhouse_config.py - settings and properties
- greenhouse.py - main bot
- lib_global.py - global constants and settings
- lib_german.py - constants, strings for descriptions and messages
- ext_greenhouse.py - extended bot
- lib_ext_greenhouse.py - constants, strings for commands and texts
- lib_english.py - English translation of German version, is set in global lib
- gpio_check.py - to check state of GPIOs and logs state, in case it is wished
- update_bot.sh - to updates all scripts from this repository by using last commit and branch
Add the program as service. To enable autostart add it to the init.d directory, insert telegrambot.sh in /etc/init.d as root and execute commands as followed.
sudo chmod +x telegrambot.sh
sudo update-rc.d telegrambot.sh defaults
sudo reboot
