Default AC3 Pro email setup - Need help please

Can't get my AC to send me email alarms. I know the alarm programming is correct because it worked on my AC Jr. (I copied the programming over to the AC3 Pro)

I have something setup incorrectly and can't figure it out - if there is an expert out there that can help me out - I would appreciate it for sure

Thanks

How is your controller connected to the internet? Ethernet cable to modem/router or serial cable to internet enabled computer with a full version of aquanotes?

Doo

There are really only two possible reasons why this wouldn't be working.

1. Your code is wrong and the email alerts aren't being triggered. Please post your code so that we can review it.

2. The network settings are incorrect.

What smtp server are you using?
What ISP are you using?
What DNS server are you using?

If you compare the DNS server on the ACIII to the DNS configuration on you PC, do they match?

Can you take a screen shot of the email configuration options and post to the forum?

Please post more details so that we can help..

->

I assume that you are able to access the ACIII from the web? - This tells us that your IP address, netmask and default gateway are all set correctly.

Emails are sent out with alarm state changes.

ALM&-F01

If Temp < 76.5 Then ALM ON
If Temp > 76.5 Then ALM OFF
Max Change 060 M Then ALM ON

ALM&-C01

If Temp > 83.0 Then ALM ON
If Temp < 75.5 Then ALM ON
If pH > 07.00 Then ALM ON
If pH < 06.66 Then ALM ON


2. The network settings are incorrect.

What smtp server are you using?
smtp.gmail.com
What ISP are you using?
Not sure what that is?
What DNS server are you using?
2.2.2.2

How do I do that?

Can you take a screen shot of the email configuration options and post to the forum?

Thanks for your help!

You DNS server is wrong. It should be 4.2.2.2 not 2.2.2.2

Thanks for the reply - I changed it as per your suggestion and tried to send a test email - nothing came through...

Does the SMTP look right? smtp.gmail.com

Thanks again!
