Hi.I can't figure out how to make gmail work.
Tested my gmail account on my Mac and iPhone and its working.
Added gmail info including password to HS in Setup email.
setup a test event but its not sending

Did you add an "app specific password" for your google account? See this post- https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...-domain-solved

I have recently had issues with the emails/texts coming from gmail not hitting my text message and they are getting refused at the server level. Does anyone have any other solutions for using emails to send yourself text messages?

The Gmail-to-SMS non-delivery issue is well documented recently in another discussion on this forum. The only known solution is to use another email provider, I recently switched my Homeseer email sender to an Outlook dot com address and now all my notifications come through and in near real-time.

Or use something like Pushover, Telegram Messenger, et al, instead of text messaging.
