Communication via Telegram Set Up
1. Create a Telegram Bot:

 Open the Telegram app on your mobile device or use the web version.

 Search for the "BotFather" bot.

 Start a chat with the BotFather and use the /newbot command to create a new bot.

 Follow the instructions provided by the BotFather to choose a name and username
for your bot.

 Once your bot is created, the BotFather will provide you with a unique API token.
Save this token; you will need it to authenticate your bot with Telegram.

2. Find Your Chat ID:

 You'll need to know the chat ID where you want to receive messages from your bot.
To do this, send a message to your bot using the Telegram app.

 Then, visit the following URL in your web browser, replacing YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
with the token provided by BotFather:
https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_BOT_TOKEN/getUpdates.

 Look for the "chat" object in the JSON response; it contains your chat ID.

 Save your chat ID for later use.

3. Install the Required Libraries in Arduino IDE:

 Open the Arduino IDE.

 Go to "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Manage Libraries..."

 Search for and install the following libraries:

 UniversalTelegramBot

 WiFiClientSecure

4. Prepare Your NodeMCU:

 Make sure you have your NodeMCU board ready with the necessary sensors and
connections (as discussed in your previous question).

5. Write the Arduino Code:

 Write or modify your Arduino code to include the Telegram bot functionality. You
can use the sample code provided in my previous responses as a starting point.
6. Configure Wi-Fi:

 Ensure that your NodeMCU is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Update the ssid and
password variables in your code with your network's credentials.

7. Set Up the Telegram Bot in Your Code:

 Update the botToken variable in your code with the API token you received from
the BotFather.

 Update the chatID variable in your code with the chat ID you obtained.

8. Compile and Upload Code:

 Verify your code in the Arduino IDE, and then upload it to your NodeMCU.

9. Monitor Serial Output:

 Open the Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor to view debug messages and ensure that your
NodeMCU is connecting to Wi-Fi and communicating with Telegram.

10. Test Your Bot:

 In your Telegram app, send a message to your bot. It should respond with the
notification you specified in your code when it detects low sauce levels and a cup
presence.

11. Operate Your Automatic Sauce Dispenser:

 Test your automatic sauce dispenser system with the NodeMCU and sensors to
ensure it works as intended.
