Apex and Shaw

[Aquattro]

I don't use the text feature, email works the same.

I want everyone to know that shaw is migrating their email settings, I have posted this issue on the neptune website here:

BE WARNED, you must take action or you will not get notifications directly from your Apex base unit.

didn't work with 587 either. Does Apex use SSL? Thought not.

currently no it doesn't, this is the response from the Apex Forum:

That's the same symptom as the person (also using Shaw cable) who started the other thread in which you posted. It looks like Shaw has tightened up their system, and is now incompatible with the Apex email

A couple of options:

- Disable email in the Apex and just let APEX Fusion handle alarm notifications.
- create a free SMTP2GO.com account and use that for sending email from the Apex.

The free version of SMTP2GO is limited to 20 emails a day. If you use a “To” and an “Alt-to,” then you will be limited to 10 emails a day. The settings for this are:

To set this up:
1. First go to SMTP2go.com
2. Set up an account
3. Verify It
4. Then configure your Apex settings as:
SMTP server: smtpcorp.com
Port: 2525
From: SMTP2GO email
To: Your email
Alt-to: another email address
Email authentication enabled
Email delay: 60
user name: SMTP2GO username
password: SMTP2GO password.

And while testing, I just wiped my entire unit. Nice.

I have Shaw. Just changed the temp setting on the email alert and got an email immediately. So mine is still working, at least at this moment.
