So very close, just need to add some UI elements and we’ll finally have the emailed alarm feature working. We’ll push out an update by the end of the week. Its not SSL yet so you wont be able to use Gmail but here’s one that has a free tier with 1000 emails per month: https://www.smtp2go.com/

Any update on SSL Email?

24

Been too long hasnt it. You have non SSL working, right? We were testing for smtp2go which has non ssl services still and at least that was working.

A bump on this one again

So
From what I’m reading you have the ability to send the alarms to a non Gmail email ?

I have these controllers controlling air to water heat pumps and it would be nice to have the tank temperature readings sending me an alarm when the temp is too high or too low etc.

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.

so many ISPs block 25. can we not get whatever port we want? I use another provider and I can do non SSL but all the providers around here block the 25 and other spam ports.

Just select another port then, smtp2go supports other ports as does the T3 controller.

Hi Maurice
Does this mean that the emails are automatically sent whenever there is an alarm triggered through the T3000 software?

Also, Does the T3000 software need to be running for the email alarms to be sent?
Or
Will a standalone site with a T3BB Controller still send out email alarms if programmed using the DALARM CODE?

The alarm is sent directly from the T3 controller to the SMTP server that you have configured to relay the emails. While you don’t have to use smtp2go, it is free for up to 1,000 emails per month and supports unsecured SMTP connections.

You do not need to run T3000; the communication occurs directly between your T3 controller, which executes its DALARM and ALARM statements, and the SMTP mail server that relays the emails to the recipients.
