E-mail alarm status

Email alarms are working (again). Here are some steps to getting set up:

  1. Set up a free account at smtp2go.com, they support non SSL email forwarding and you get 1000 emails per month on the free tier, certainly good enough for several buildings. The user name will be T3BB@temcocontrols.com in this example, it doesnt need to be an actual email address, this is just used for logging in to SMTP2go.
    Set a password and optionally, a limit on the number of emails per day.

Update:If your ISP is blocking port 25 you can also use ports 2525, 80, 8025, or 587.

Next in the T3000 front end, navigate to the email settings dialog and at Tab1 fill in the username and password from the account you set up at smtp2go.com. Whever there is an alarm the T3 controller will directly contact smtp2go.com over port 25 and send the alarms to wherever you like.

Note: Be sure to set the "secure connection’ setting at Tab3 to NULL. The SSL and TLS secure email options will show up in the dialog box but they’re not supported yet.

Finally at Tab2 set up the recipients where the emails will sent, you can add two different addresses. If you need more than two recipients you can set that up by sending to a shared email box or do mail forwards on your email server.

Update: At Tab4 you can set the port number to any of those supported by smtp2go showing at the Tab4 up above.
