mail notification not received

[kiwi799]

hello, I am struggling to make mail notification on my HG, but I did not succeeded for the moment. I follow this topic "http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=223.0", but it is not working for me.

I have HG r421 on Ubuntu server v14.
I setup my Email Account with Gmail or Yahoo.fr account but did not receive any mail

Code: [Select]

1. E-Mail address
<email>@gmail.com
2. SMTP Mail Server address
smtp.gmail.com
3. SMTP username (optional)
<email>@gmail.com
4. SMTP password (optional)
<account password>
5. SMTP Mail Server port
587
6. SMTP Mail Server use SSL (TRUE or FALSE)
TRUE
For my test, I create a C# program with below in program code

Code: [Select]

// CSharp Automation Program : send an email to test the mail settings
var subject = "test email";
var messagetext = "HG Test Email";
var recipients = "########@gmail.com";
Net.SendMessage( recipients, subject, messagetext );

Here is my trigger code:

Code: [Select]

if (Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.ZWave").WithAddress("5").IsOn)
{
  return true;
}
else
{
  return false;
}
When I switch on my "Zwave 5" light, I don't receive email.
So I installed an SMTP server on another computer, activated SMTP log on this server. Then send sucessfully an email by telnet. The SMTP session is logged in the SMTP server log.

I changed my Email account to use my lcoal SMTP server.

Code: [Select]

Email.Sender = "[email protected]"
Email.SmtpPassword = "password"
Email.SmtpPort = "25"
Email.SmtpServer = "192.168.77.82"
Email.SmtpUserName = "user1"
Email.SmtpUseSsl = "FALSE"
I changed my C# program with below in program code

Code: [Select]

// CSharp Automation Program : send an email to test the mail settings
var subject = "test email";
var messagetext = "HG Test Email";
var recipients = "[email protected]";
Net.SendMessage( recipients, subject, messagetext );
Now when I switch on my "Zwave 5" light, nothing is logged in the SMTP log. So this means that HG does not try to connect to my SMTP server 192.168.77.82.

I also added a module to my Zwave group so as there is a button which activate my program. When I click on it, it should send the email. But this also does not make my HG connect to my SMTP server.

Can someone help please ? Did I miss something in my HG settings ?

Is the program firing? You can try adding a notification to make sure that the program is run:

Code: [Select]

Program.Notify("Debug", "Program called, now attempting to send email.");

Thanks mvdarend for the idea of program.notify.
I added one program.notify before and one after. Then the first tries only show the program.notify before the Net.SendMessage( recipients, subject, messagetext ).
So I clear all the program code and start from scratch, then it works with my local SMTP server
Then I tried again with Gmail or Yahoo.fr, but it was unsucessfull, I can see both program.notify. But did not receive email.
Finally I try with another email provider "free.fr", the one for my internet access and it does work 
So now my mail notification works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

I am also running into issues with sending emails. I've set up Gmail according to the information I've found on this board.

I found this in my log:
2014-11-22T20:11:59.9192038-05:00   HomeAutomation.HomeGenie.Automation   NetHelper   Failure sending mail.   Exception.StackTrace      at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)
   at HomeGenie.Automation.Scripting.NetHelper.SendMessage(String from, String recipients, String subject, String messageText)

Any suggestion?

I could not get GMail to work.  I ended up using yahoo mail with success.

The problem with GMail could be the missing ssl certificates.
These can be installed using mozroots command:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install mono-devel
mozroots --import --ask-remove --machine
certmgr -ssl smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465

Gene,

I'm using Windows 8.1.  Those commands look like Linux commands.

[Gene]

I'm not sure but this looks like a similar solution for Windows:

I'll give it a shot.

Using port 587 instead of 465 will work for gmail.

This would not work for me until I took the additional steps of running:

Code: [Select]

mozroots --import --ask-remove --machine
certmgr -ssl smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465[quote author=Gene

I tried these steps with yahoo and it didn't work.  All steps seemed to work but the resulting attempts to have HG send messages didn't end up in my inbox.  I guess I can try using my gmail as the send account if that works.

[bkenobi]

I also tried switching over to using my gmail account and it also did not go through.  The only thing I can think of is trying to send the email manually in a Linux console to see what if any error messages I receive.

I just try on my side. With the Gene command line

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install mono-devel
mozroots --import --ask-remove --machine
certmgr -ssl smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465


and the de-sactivation on that link :

It works !!

Has something changed in the SendMessage function?  I used to be able to send a message with the following:

Code: [Select]

Net.SendMessage( "[email protected]", "email test", "test email from HomeGenie" );However, now when I run that code, I get an error in mono:

Code: [Select]
