alarm does not send email

[Steve2Q]

Hello: I installed the version of alarm.py that is on GitHub. When I start Weewx, the log show that my expression (inTemp > 80) is True, but I have not received an email. There are no errors shown in syslog. I am running 3.1.0.

Thanks, Steve

You're not giving much in the way of details.

What did you put in weewx.conf?

You may not think there is anything in the log, but if you ran with debug=1, it will show whether the alarm service loaded.

If it loaded, it will show whether or not the alarm was set, or there was an error in the expression you used.

Otherwise, there isn't much I can tell you from the little information you provided.

Tom: here is the information:

There's something about your system that is preventing an outgoing SMTP email. Try this, using the python interpreter (you type what's in bold).

python

>>> import smtplib

>>> s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')

>>> s.ehlo()

>>> s.starttls()

>>> s.ehlo()

>>> s.login('your_user_name', 'your_password')

It's also possible that you have two-step authentication set on your gmail account, so it's not accepting the login.

-tk

smtp_host = smpt.gmail.com might be causing the problem? You might get better mileage with smtp_host = smtp.gmail.com ?

Gary

[Thomas Keffer]

Good eye, Gary! Yes, that's probably it.

Gary..yes, good eye! Can't tell you how long I checked the program and did not see that error. I changed it and ran the program before implementing Tom's suggestion. Unfortunately, I still received no email. I then started entering the Python code and when I entered the 2nd line (>>> s = smtp.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com'), it returned the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

return socket.create_connection((port, host), timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py" line 571, in create_connection
raise err
socket.error [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol

I have to add that I do have a cronjob which successfully sends an email to the same address at 0001 to notify me that an archive backup was completed.

Hi, Steve

Seems to be a configuration problem. My guess is that gmail needs a different port number. You could try

s=smtp.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

other ports to try are 465 or 25.

It's also possible that gmail is resolving to an IPV6 address, which may or may not be supported on your machine and/or Internet provider.

One note on Gmail. You may need to downgrade your Gmail security settings to allow third party access. I had a problem with some ham radio applications being blocked from sending emails.

Thanks, Dave..tried that and still no go. I also tried the other suggestions. With debut = 1, no error messages are in the log file.

I tried the following command:  echo “Test text” | mail -s “Test Mail”me@gmail.com   and this sent an email successfully.

This is the contents of     /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

More ideas?  I don't know if ssmpt is relevant to this discussion, but it is involved with sending an email out of Weewx.  Perhaps change any references for smtp to ssmtp?

Hmm, this got me wondering as I use the lowBattery service (which uses very similar code to alarm.py) to alert me if my console battery is low, never had an email from it so thought I would check it. Turns out I never re-installed it when I cut from RPi to Odroid, but that is another story.

Anyway, lowBattery works and sends emails from/to my non-gmail hosted accounts fine. Thought I would try sending through my gmail account. Used smtp_host = smtp.gmail.com:587 in weewx.conf and it worked fine. Looked back though the posts above and did not see anything that confirmed this had been tried?

As an aside using the python command line code that Tom mentioned for me kept on giving an error, no matter what host address or port I used.

>>> s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')

Gary...Thank you!!  Adding the :587 to weewx.conf did the trick. I did not think to do this as I thought it would be taken care of when running the Python command line.

This group is great. Now back to trying to get the lightning detector working!

Steve

[Thomas Keffer]

Hmmm, I'm glad this is working out for you, but I must admit to being a bit mystified why the alarm example works, when typing in basically the same code from the command line, including the suggestion of trying port 587, did not work.

-tk

[gjr80]

This prompted me to have another look why my command line python didn't work. Tried to ping a server from my online weewx machine and it could not resolve the address. Thought that explains why s=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587') did not work from the python command line. Got onto my spare RPi and it could ping no problems and of course the smtplib...etc command worked fine from the command line. The funny thing is the very same machine that would not work at the python command line runs lowBattery fine and sends python generated emails just fine. Clearly I have some sort of issue with my network or maybe there is something different about python command line compared to running a python script.

Gary

[Thomas Keffer]

Or, maybe it's the smtp.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587') syntax versus the smtp.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com, 587) syntax?

-tk

[gjr80]

Nope, tried that one. Actually read up on smtplib and when I saw the [, port] I thought aha! but no, exactly the same deal...

I think I will put this down to one of those little mysteries that I will dig into when I get some time...
