Telegram and ptz error
Hello. First i am sorry if my reporting is low quality but i have never done anything like this before.
But i have been trying to get this Telegram PTZ & Notifications component to work. With help of chatgpt i have been able to get rid of most problems but now i have ran in dead end. I am running Viseron - 3.1.1 - f6a79b5 in docker on x86 system, camera that i am currently using is webcam connected to raspberry pi in local network. So it doesnt have any kind of PTZ functions.
Here is logs and configuration file if they are in any help figuring out what i do wrong.
Thanks in advance.

You need to setup the ptz integration as well.
Not the most elegant error code you are receiving, will try to improve that
How do i do that? I have hard time to find documentation on seting up ptz. Only mentions on ptz I find are in ONVIF PTZ control and Telegram PTZ & Notifications
It's this component: https://viseron.netlify.app/components-explorer/components/ptz
But I see now that that is not going to work, the Telegram component requires to setup ptz but since your camera doesn't have that the setup of ptz will fail.
These components are quite new still and wasn't provided by me so I don't know them very well yet.
@smelis Do you have time to look at this. Seems Telegram cannot be used without PTZ
Yeah it looks like that's a bug. The check shouldn't have been
if not config[CONFIG_PTZ_COMPONENT]:
but
if not CONFIG_PTZ_COMPONENT in config:
Have you tried setting up an empty ptz component? I'm not sure if that will just have it fail somewhere else or get you a step closer, but it's an easy thing to try.
If I add empty ptz component it gives me basicly same end results errors in ptz and errors in Telegram component. Well same end result with Telegram component and more errors with ptz

Ok, yeah, the ptz requires at least a 'cameras' property, but as far as I can tell it should work without any camera's defined in it. So, you could try:
ptz:
cameras:
And see if that works.
If it doesn't work, you could try defining your camera and see if that works:
ptz:
cameras:
camera_1:
onvif_username: <username> # required
onvif_password: <password> # required
This spec details what properties are required and which not: https://viseron.netlify.app/components-explorer/components/ptz
With this later configure it seems like working atleast it loads Telegram component and PTZ component without errors. And now only error i get is this. That i think is more error on that it cannot connect ONVIFCamera.
Sadly i at the moment i cannot test if it works properly. On second thought is there a manual way to triger detections or events on Viseron?
Thanks for great help!

Which config made it work? This one:
ptz:
cameras:
or this one:
ptz:
cameras:
camera_1:
onvif_username: <username> # required
onvif_password: <password> # required
I'd expect it could crash the way it does with the second one, but not the first one.
ptz:
cameras:
camera_1:
onvif_username: <username> # required
onvif_password: <password> # required
This one works.
Can anyone provide insight on the PTZ preset configs? The example shows values of x: and y:, but the spec shows pan: and tilt:. I'm not certain which is valid
I think it's pan and tilt, not x and y. On 3.1.2 I'm getting the error:

I do see there was a commit that addressed that, so I'll try dev
Hello.
I have been trying to get this Telegram PTZ & Notifications component to work. I am running Viseron v.3.2.3 in docker on Ubuntu 24.04 x64 system. Camera, darknet, mog2, nvr, compreface are work correctly. But Telegram PTZ & Notifications is not start up.

What i do wrong?
Will take a look over the weekend and see if I can figure out what's going on.
Judging by the logs, it appears that the telegram component sets up before ptz has completed. There is currently no mechanism for components to wait on other components
I suggest this change:
diff --git a/viseron/components/telegram/__init__.py b/viseron/components/telegram/__init__.py
index d1981520..f7d879b1 100644
--- a/viseron/components/telegram/__init__.py
+++ b/viseron/components/telegram/__init__.py
@@ -113,8 +113,9 @@ def setup(vis: Viseron, config) -> bool:
"""Set up the ptz component."""
component_config = config[COMPONENT]
- if not config[CONFIG_PTZ_COMPONENT]:
+ if not config.get(CONFIG_PTZ_COMPONENT):

else:
telegram_ptz = TelegramPTZ(vis, component_config)
Thread(target=telegram_ptz.run_async).start()
Seems to fix this issue for me. It still does not send me any notifications though 😁 But at least seems to initialize successfully.
Ah, I forgot to set create_event_clip in my config:
ffmpeg:
camera:
camera_1:
recorder:
create_event_clip: true
With this patch and this setting it works.
