Thanks for the reply. Does this only apply to DST changes or any time change such as a NTP adjustment?

Noticed this also on programs using a Wait statement across the DST change -- they were interrupted and marked False. A few (but not all) of my other programs which were neither running nor dependent on the Waiting programs inexplicably went False. Easily recreatable. I'm using an ISY994 with Firmware v.4.2.18.

Sent. Thanks.

I followed Michel's instructions and sent a log to the support address about a month ago. Was anything learned from it? My notifications are still very inconsistent.

Michel, thanks for your response. 1. Neither. I'm on Time Warner cable. 2. Yes, I configured my router to assign the ISY a static address. I use my ISY's "Automatic (DHCP)" settings and the ISY's static IP address is correctly filled in. I assume my setup is correct since I have no problems with accessing the ISY remotely via MobiLinc or from my office computer. But honestly, I don't understand IP settings very well. 3. I have an ISY-994i. Hope this helps.

Have to revive this thread. I've been switching between gmail and outlook.com SMTP and am still getting inconsistency in my notifications. What is common is errors such as these in my log: Sat 2013/09/21 02:13:48 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sat 2013/09/21 03:00:50 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sat 2013/09/21 03:20:07 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sat 2013/09/21 03:48:28 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sat 2013/09/21 04:13:54 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sat 2013/09/21 04:41:38 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Tue 2013/11/05 05:51:17 AM System -170001 [Network] Failed DNS 19 Tue 2013/11/05 05:51:17 AM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Tue 2013/11/05 06:44:38 AM System -170001 [Network] Failed DNS 20 Tue 2013/11/05 06:44:38 AM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Tue 2013/11/05 06:57:38 PM System -170001 [Network] Failed DNS 21 Tue 2013/11/05 06:57:38 PM System -60001 pool.ntp.org Tue 2013/11/19 01:13:44 PM System -60001 pool.ntp.org Fri 2013/11/22 09:13:48 PM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Fri 2013/11/22 10:06:24 PM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Fri 2013/11/22 10:07:55 PM System -50001 -18 Fri 2013/11/22 10:17:59 PM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Fri 2013/11/22 10:40:44 PM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Fri 2013/11/22 11:18:37 PM System -50010 smtp-mail.outlook.com Sun 2013/11/24 02:34:56 AM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sun 2013/11/24 04:56:04 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Sun 2013/11/24 10:20:03 PM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Mon 2013/11/25 12:00:21 AM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Mon 2013/11/25 12:15:25 AM System -60001 pool.ntp.org Mon 2013/11/25 02:06:21 AM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com Mon 2013/11/25 09:02:59 AM System -50010 smtp.gmail.com (pool.ntp.org is for time synching, which I think I've got set for 48 hours) I don't intend to do much notifications in the long run. A lot of these messages are solely for debugging my programs, but I can't debug if I don't get them. What is also of note is that immediately after an SMTP settings update, my notifications work fine for a while, usually overnight. Then they become erratic. What am I missing?!

Thanks, Xathros! That works great!

I'd like to generate an e-mail that tells me the True/False status of two programs. I see that ${sys.program.#.status} will work for the program generating the notification, but is there a similar substitution for "program X?" I've tried several variations such as ${sys.program.ProgramX.status}, etc.

Thanks for the referral, MWareman.

Thanks for the quick and informative reply, Michel. The log showed that I was taking SMTP errors from Gmail. I googled for this and apparently I am one of many having this issue with Gmail SMTP. I guess it's time to shop around for a new one.

I've noticed since I upgraded to v.4.0.5 that my outgoing email notifications are not as reliable as before. I only have one recipient group (me), but a handful of simple messages as content. I've checked my destination email's inbox, filter and spam folders, and the "Sent Mail" folder of the Gmail account I'm using as sender reflects the inconsistency. After tinkering and experimenting with my programs, I find that a notification works every time when I put it in a program by itself and run it manually (e.g. right click, then run). But if the Notify statement -- or the call to the above program containing it -- is embedded inside a program with more than a few lines, I don't see the email about half the time. I thought perhaps that the device is busy handling other functions at the time of notification, but placing waits before and after the notification and even running during "quiet" times does not help. Can anyone suggest a cause and/or solution? Or at least a way to diagnose what is happening?

Thanks, Michel.

Can the ISY994 send notifications via SMS to Google Voice? I don's see it listed when trying to add a new Recipient.
