New Installation of Bundled AD2Pi Solution

[kkane]

Hi thanks for a great product.

I have successfully installed the AD2Pi and I am communicating to the Ademco 20P controller and alarms in my house. Everything went fine during that portion of the install.

However in the final configuration I am unable to get the Email Event notification working. I believe my problem stems for not configuring my certificates correctly. When I connect to my PI Server via the web on my local network the browser rejects the connection with a "Your connection is not secure" At this point I am not sure how to fix this problem. I also got a rejection from my email provider saying a signin was rejected from a "app that doesn't meet modern security standards." I have done a brief survey of the FAQ's but would appreciate any pointer of how to correct this problem. I am a new to linux.
Also ultimately I would like to have a sms notification as well but not sure which of the options to chose when I go to Twilio it seems I need to create my on messenger ap so I am a little lost there as well.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Karl,

You can effectively ignore that certificate warning - it is because we ship it with a "self-signed" certificate. This has no bearing on anything outside of the web browser. It only warns you because we don't ship with a certificate that is signed by a "Certificate Authority" - you can ignore this and proceed with acceptance. Your communications are secure.

With regard to email - which provider are you using? Some providers require special settings - we do not support SMTPS, but we do support TLS - just have to use the right ports. - You can see an example gmail configuration here: (https://www.alarmdecoder.com/wiki/index ... bApp#Email)

Twilio is the easiest way to get SMS - you don't have to create an application, you just have to sign up for the service and get your numbers and API key. Then you can use our system (by inputting your numbers, see example here: https://www.alarmdecoder.com/wiki/index ... via_Twilio ) - and it will send you an SMS on the alerts you have configured.

Kevin,
Thanks for your quick response. I am using gmail.com as in the example. It does use smtp.gmail.com which I assume is supported. However I am not completely sure which of the fields in the example I can leave as is and which I need to replace with my own data. Specifically, should the source address be an actual email account or should it be the text in the example.
Thanks,
Karl

For GMAIL
------------------------------------
In our webapp:
Source address is whatever you want the "from" to appear as
Destination address is the "to", or your gmail.com address
email server is smtp.gmail.com
Server port is 587 - enable TLS
Authenticate with your gmail username and password

Kevin,
Thanks again for all the help. That was it I was incorrectly entering some of the fields. I am all work now. My next step is I got the Twilio account info and now just need to work on setting that up correctly.
Thanks,
Karl
