Alerting

DisplayHive can send Telegram notifications when a screen or device changes state — useful for catching a display that's gone offline before an audience notices.

Configure alerting from the Alerting page (/alerting).

Setup

1. Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather and copy its bot token into the Alerting page.
2. Message the bot from the Telegram account(s) you want to receive alerts.
3. Click fetch users from bot — this reads Telegram's update log and lists the chats that have messaged it.
4. Save one or more of those chats as a named Telegram user.

Subscribing to alerts

For each saved Telegram user, choose which alert types they should receive:

• Screen offline / online
• Screen not maximized / maximized
• Screen in debug mode on / off
• Screen in find mode on / off
• Device offline / online

Use send test message to confirm delivery before relying on it. Alerts fire automatically whenever the corresponding state change happens — there's nothing further to trigger manually.
