Yes, you can enhance the interaction with your ESP8266-based IoT device by integrating a Telegram Web App. Telegram Web Apps are web pages that are configured to be displayed inside Telegram chats, allowing for more advanced and user-friendly interfaces, such as custom forms for inputting time or scheduling tasks.

Here are the general steps to integrate a Telegram Web App for easier HTML/JavaScript time input for your project:

1. Create the Web Page

Develop a web page that will serve as the interface for your Telegram Web App. This page should be designed to allow users to input time or schedule tasks easily. You can use standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for this.

Example HTML form for time input:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Task Scheduler</title>
    <script src="https://telegram.org/js/telegram-web-app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Schedule a Task</h2>
    <form id="scheduleForm">
        <label for="taskTime">Task Time (HH:MM):</label>
        <input type="time" id="taskTime" name="taskTime" required>
        <label for="duration">Duration (minutes):</label>
        <input type="number" id="duration" name="duration" min="1" required>
        <button type="submit">Schedule Task</button>
    </form>
    <script>
        document.getElementById('scheduleForm').onsubmit = function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            const time = document.getElementById('taskTime').value;
            const duration = document.getElementById('duration').value;
            
            // Use Telegram Web App API to send data back to the bot
            Telegram.WebApp.sendData(JSON.stringify({time: time, duration: duration}));
        };
    </script>
</body>
</html>

2. Host the Web Page

Upload the web page to a web server or hosting platform. Ensure that the page is accessible over HTTPS, as Telegram requires secure connections for Web Apps.

3. Enable Web Apps in Your Bot

Use BotFather to enable the Web Apps feature for your bot and set the URL of your web app.

Send /setwebapp to BotFather.
Choose your bot.
Provide the URL to your web app.

4. Modify Your Bot to Open the Web App

Adjust your Telegram bot's code to send a message with a button that opens your web app. Use the WebApp button type in your inline keyboard markup.

Example of sending a message with a button to open the web app:

bot.sendMessage(chat_id, "Open the scheduler:",
                reply_markup=json.dumps({
                    "inline_keyboard": [
                        [{"text": "Schedule Task", "web_app": {"url": "https://yourdomain.com/scheduler.html"}}]
                    ]
                }))

5. Handle Data from the Web App

Modify your bot's logic to handle data sent back from the web app. When a user submits the form in the web app, the data will be sent to your bot in an update. Use this data to schedule tasks or perform other actions as needed.

Integrating a Telegram Web App provides a more interactive and user-friendly way for users to interact with your IoT device, making tasks like scheduling more intuitive.
