ESP8266 AND TELEGRAM BOTS

This project uses an ESP8266 in a standalone configuration, programmed via arduino IDE. The chip hosts a Telegram Bot so that interesting domotic tasks can be accomplished from all around the world without the need to install specific software and using a terminal like command scheme.

The system is able to control relays and sensors and can be programmed to send a specific message when an alarm is activated, containing the time stamp of the triggering, obtained by connecting to the NIST and fetching data.

The ESP only responds to commands sent by pre-programmed users (this is needed as bots are public) and answers with a kind "ACCESS DENIED" to everyone else.
