[Changelog] telegram protocol

kial

The telegram protocol is designed to turn your flespi channel into a backend serving your telegram bot.

All messages, positions, and images you will send to your telegram bot will be stored in the channel messages.
You also may send chat messages using commands or settings from the flespi platform to the users communicated with your bot.

We've added the setting to send a chat message through the flespi platform to the user communicating with your bot.

It is now also possible to send a setting with a message to the Telegram-type device via the flespi panel GUI or respective API call. To do so, you have to create a flespi device of the telegram device type. Use the ID issued by your bot as a User identifier. Once created, navigate to the Settings tab on the device screen and find the "Send a message to the user" setting in the Actions section. Type the message and click the Send icon to get it in your Telegram bot!
