Hi everyone,
I can see by google searches and searches on this forum that the email for HS4 has been discussed a lot. However, it all seems to be outdated. I have spent a couple days now trying to get my HomeSeer (which runs on a Raspberry Pi3) to send email. I have created a gmail account for the HS4 system, and entered the appropriate username/password and used smtp.gmail.com using port 465 and SSL. I also have "Less secure app access" turned on. (but it going to be no longer available after May 30, 2022). Anyway, gmail claims the username & password are invalid everytime I try.
Error Exception sending email via GMail (To:xxxxxx@gmail.com, cc:, bcc:, Sub:test event triggered, Attach
= Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
So I gave up and set up an email account on my private domain. Using the information they supply I still get the error below:
Error Exception sending email via mail.xxxxxx.ca (To:xxxxx@gmail.com, cc:, bcc:, Sub:test event triggered, Attach
= Authenticate as SSL client failed. You might be connecting to non SSL port.
Again using port 465 as instructed by my hosting company. I don't actually care which I use gmail or my own, but I'm at a wall and have no idea where to go from here.
Any help is greatly appreciated at this point.
