It is available for Android, iPhone/iPad, Windows, macOS, Linux and as a web application. The user signs in the cumbia-telegram bot to chat with a Tango or EPICS control system from everywhere. One can read and monitor values, as well as receive alerts when something special happens. Simple source names or their combination into formulas can be sent to the bot. It replies and notifies results. It is simple, fast, intuitive. A phone number to register with telegram and a client are the necessary ingredients. On the server side, cumbia-telegram provides the administrator with full control over the allocation of resources, the network load and the clients authorized to chat with the bot. Additionally, the access to the systems is read only. On the client side, the bot has been meticulously crafted to make interaction easy and fast: history, bookmarks and alias plugins pare texting down to the bone. Preferred and most frequent operations are accessible by simple taps on special command links. The bot relies on modules and plugins, that make the application extensible.}, }
