NOTIFICATIONS - Setting up

[Mustang65]

As I inch through the initial setups for my ISY994iZ, I encountered a new road-block with the ISY NOTIFICATIONS. No matter what I enter into the fields I always get a SMTP error. IF I use the "DEFAULT" option I get a SMTP error or if I populate the fields (as below) I get an SMTP error. I found a post that had notification issues but I had already tried the suggested fix.

-----------------------------------------------------------

SMPT Server: smtp.gmail.com

UserId: myemailaddress@gmail.com

From: myemailaddress@gmail.com

SMTP Port: 587

Password: verified

Timeout 1,000

----------------------------------------------------------

I tried with the name and with-out the name.

Tried "TLS" selected and not selected

Any thoughts

Do you have 2fa on your Gmail account? If so, you’ll need to use an app-specific password instead of your regular gmail password.

You will also need to allow ‘less secure’ access to your gmail account. Otherwise, basic auth over TLS will not work.

Thanks,

But no I do not have 2fa. I checked it yesterday and it said unavailable for my email account. It did not work with the UD default message either.

 

I just came back from Chicago. Spent a few days with my daughter and her twins. I grew up in Chicago on the SW side, Pulaski & 26th... way back when.

Hi Mustang65,

The issue is DNS related. What's your IP configuration? DHCP or Static? You may want to try these troubleshooting tips.

With kind regards,

Hi Michel,

Back again.. spent a day in the hospital thanks to the flu and then a few to get some energy back. Now I know how those people feel.

OK, I dumped my email address and used my yahoo garbage junk email address and we have success. No clue as to why the Gmail address will not work, but this will do just fine.

Thanks
