Home Assistant and Telegram integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Home Assistant and Telegram and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Miscellaneous, Communication, and HITL workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Home Assistant and Telegram

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Home Assistant and Telegram nodes

You can find Home Assistant and Telegram in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Home Assistant and Telegram nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Home Assistant and Telegram

A connection establishes a link between Home Assistant and Telegram (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Home Assistant and Telegram integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Home Assistant and Telegram with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
