email notification

[lucius]

Hi,
I want to have e-mail notification in responding to events. I try to configure e-mail (gmail) and I don't have any message. I don't have port forwarding (I can't have access to router). Is it related with this issue?

Does the Test message arrive?

Edit: Just tested with my own gmail account using SMTP (587), works just fine.

I don't port forward and get email notifications fine.

I set up a separate email account just for notification since they are free

My primary account requires confirmation so had trouble with that. Separate email is better anyway don't have to worry about email security

still, I don't have any message in my gmail account...

password, I put my password to my gmail account

and also it doesn't work

@lucius, Again, does the Test Message arrive?

I have also problems with email notifications. Test message arrives right but I can’t get any notifications. I was wondering if domoticz ever tries to send notifications cause nothing comes in log. How do I know if domoticz is even trying to send email or not?

I am also unable to send any email, not even test mail.

Raspbian + latest dev Domoticz (tried last half year, so not version specific)
Tried GMail and another one SMTP provider. Tried all ports. No luck. In log is just "email sent failed".

How about to install outgoing mail server on Rapsbian and use localhost mail server? Should it work?

Hi,

Just a simple question.

Did you configure for each switch/sensor, if you want to send a notification for that switch/sensor, the notification?

Regards

[tvurce]

Yes. Same with Test mail and with notification from sensor: In log is Notification sent (email) => Failed

I am using Synology and this is able to send emails with my gmail account from same network.

And now, i tried local smtp provider and it works! So finaly, I am happy

GMAil still not working, but it is may be problem with two factor authentication. I add an exclusion for this kind of using smtp without luck, but not so big problem.

Anyway, using local mais server should by good idea - I am using this way with my own webserver and there Drupal is using postfix configured for only outgoing mail usage.

Not sure if it helps, but often you may need to dive into your Gmail SMTP relay settings, as often Google will block other services from using this, unless you specify it can be allowed.

The key seems to be app-passwords within Google. In your Google account go to Security and create a new app password (Name it for example: Domoticz for RP) and use the generated password in the password field in the email setup of Domoticz. Username should still be your gmail address of course.
For me this worked. I was able to sent test emails and email notifications again.
