## Generating Telegram Bot Token
1. First you need to install and setup telegram on your mobile phone or laptop from https://telegram.org/
2. Next search for the BotFather bot on telegram by searching `@BotFather` or by visiting https://telegram.me/BotFather
3. Send `/newbot ` command to BotFather and it will create a new bot by that name
4. Send `/token` command to get a auth token for this bot
## Using Telegram Bot Token
1. Replace token in line 10 of myaddress.py with the token received from step 4 above
## Running the bot
1. Start chatting with your new bot by sending some message.
2. Make sure the path to the log file exists in line 4 of myipaddress.py
3. Install some dependecies
`sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev`
4. Install telegram library for python
`pip install python-telegram-bot netifaces`
4. Just run the bot with `python myipaddress.py` and you should be getting the ip address of the raspi
`Hey Dude. My new IP Address is 192.168.1.111`
## Putting the script on boot
1. Open Crontab using `crontab -e`
2. Add an entry at the bottom like this (Make sure the script exists on the path)
`@reboot sleep 60 && python dev/scripts/myipaddress.py &`
3. Send a test message to the bot everytime when you need the ip address before boot.
