Problems configuring ISY for notifications

[eyost]

Hi all,

 

I am having difficulties configuring my ISY to send text for notifications. 

 

I am able to send a text via my email client (Mail on Mac OS X) using my Gmail account but when I use the same settings in ISY I receive a "Password not Accepted" message. I verified that the password entered in ISY is correct. If I uncheck the 'Use TLS' I then receive "Unsupported authentication method".

 

Here are my settings:

 

SMPT Server: smtp.gmail.com

UserId: my email address@gmail.com

From: Ed Yost: myemailaddress@gmail.com

SMTP Port: 587

Password: verified

Timeout 1,000

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Ed

Just to make sure, you're using your email password, not the ISY. Correct?

Yes sir - I actually copied and pasted it when I entered it in Gmail.com just to make sure.

I don't use From: First-Name Last-Name: myemailaddress@gmail.com

 

I use only: From: myemailaddress@gmail.com

Do you have 2FA enabled on your Gmail account?

 

You need to make sure to modify your Gmail account to allow unsecure clients, and make sure you are using an application password (if 2FA is enabled)

Hmm. I changed that and get password not accepted with the Use TLS option checked. If unchecked, I get the 'Unsupported authentication method'

Uhh, o.k. Where would one find that setting?

If 2FA is NOT enabled, allow 'less secure apps' on this page: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

 

If you have 2FA enabled, create an 'app specific password' to use instead ontyour usual Google password and 2FA PIN via this page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

Thanks. What is 2FA and where would I check to see if it is enabled?

I found it. I went ahead and turned on 2FA for additional security and generated an app specific password.

 

Thanks for all of the help.

2FA is an acronym for 2 Factor Authentication. I always recommend everyone uses it - it provides very strong protection for your account. I'm glad you got things going!
