Hey there,
My problem goes a bit back but I needed to e-mail notifications once more in Mycodo. Since May, I cannot use Google and looking for alternatives of it as 3rd party email apps.
Google says that To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022 , Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
Any alternatives that you would suggest for e-mail notifications?
Thanks in advance!
I found Postmark but wasn’t successful for the test mail in Mycodo although its API works. I tested it with the curl command.
I found Sendinblue as an SMTP alternative to Gmail. Other solutions are also welcome.
I’d be willing to try to get Gmail support back using their more secure login method(s), but I’m just not familiar enough with email/Gmail authentication. I’m on vacation until a bit after New Years, but if anyone wants to help by looking up any current Python libraries or methods to authenticate with Gmail using Python, I’ll see if I can apply it to Mycodo’s email notification system.
I may look into it in my free time. Let you know if I would find something.
I’ve been looking at Zoho as an option. Their base plan is $1 a month. Zoho Mail Pricing & Editions - Free for 5 Users
Hi,
i use gmail with RPi 4 and Zero and Mycodo.
I your gmail account you have the tab security and signing in to Google.
You can specifiy an App passwords that you must copy in your configuration mail.
I couldn’t follow what you mean by this.
Yes this is the link from google to do this : Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help
In my RPI i use msmtp and in the configuration file in /etc/msmtp
you need to specify the new app password that you have created in the app password on your google account
Hey, is there an update on this?
“In the future, there will be more notification options added to Mycodo, such as Discord, Slack, SMS, Twitter, and other methods.” @KyleGabriel
Thanks a lot!
