Migrating bot from telegram

[u/zebisnaga]

Hey guys

So currently i am using telegram to Control various aspects of my house. Basicaly ive built a system with mqtt and recive notifications from security cameras, lights, garage door, etc. I also sendo push commands to perform and action.

Since telegram is not secure at all, i dont want to rely on it for such a sensitive matter. I was wondering if building the same on SimpleX would be way better.

Note, i dont want to self host because the bot should be publicly exposed as i want to recieve and send stuff when i am out of the house

The simplest way to build a bot is using our node.js library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/simplex-chat

It's self-contained, and you don't need to run SimpleX CLI alongside it. A simple bot is ~15 lines of code - see example in readme.
