am trying to set up email in HS4 - HS4 Pro Edition 4.0.9.0 (Windows) - I have used my user name - NO '@gmail.com' and gmail password - The logs show the following
HomeSeer

HomeSeer

Exception sending email via GMail (To:1112221234@vtext.com, cc:, bcc:, Sub:Test Homeseer, Attach = Application-specific password required. Learn more at
****EDIT****
Yep - had to go to my google account security settings and setup the app - and use the app password
Per the HS4 Documentation
General Settings
If possible, we highly recommend using GMail with HS4. It's extremely easy to set up and quite secure.

I am used to registering an application and using the 'secret' password. I do this in MS365. So, I understand what it wants but the HS4 documentation specifies the user password. Any suggestions?
Thanks
