I have noticed that my Homeseer has not been sending an email for about a week when an alert is supposed to be sent. (became painfully obvious)
The log reports an email server 550 refusal error. But instead of pasting it here I will explain what is happening:
The email service (tried several accounts) is using a different security certificate, probably more advanced than Homeseer can handle.
I even tried "outlook express" it was installed on the homeseer PC, and it did manage to send an email using the settings, but requires my clicking a "are you sure you want to use invalid certificate" server warning. (when in fact the old certificate is on the PC I know.) Can it be "upgraded?" without a large bulky email program?
(the click-to-pass requirement sort of negates any automation with this option)
I am using HS2 and want to stay with it (because of several reasons, lets just say I have it doing things that HS3 probably would require me to re-code, not to mention I don't know if the hometroller will be slower on HS3)
IS ANYONE aware of a way to allow emails to work again in my situation?.
Plugin? Script? IMAP software (that is compatible)
I am using a WinXP core, HS2 2.4057 (a hometroller)
Not really interested in upgrading the PC. The hometroller uses 15w of power, a normal PC is ten times as much, and is usually less reliable IMHO.
(I am off grid so it matters)
Or am I doomed to pay a webhosting friend to setup an email server just for the purpose of bouncing homeseer messages? Should I "sell" his service to other HS2 users in my boat? (can homeseer.com set up such outgoing email service?)
(secured email is NOT needed to notify me about HS events. I don't care if the world reads all of them, they will just know when lightning storm is approaching! But I am the one who needs to know that the most...)
Any help would be appreciated.
Actually SMS TEXT MESSAGE output would be better than email.
(the email was going to my phone anyway)
ANOTHER THOUGHT:
There are several sites that send TXT from WEB page, has anyone written a scraper fill-in-the-blanks script that sends texts using the internet thru one of these sites? - Don't need email then!
