Expanding XEP's table of emails?

Lagerhead said:

I second this request, definitely. My email space is full, and not because of extravagance.

Consider also whether an M1 automation text message can be sent as the message body, with the XEP then concerned only with email addresses. This is, in any practical sense, the kind of capability that we really need.

• The XEP's setup screen for email only have server configuration information, not recipient addresses and message text. That way each email doesn't require setup on both the XEP and in rules.
• The Send Email rule be able to specify the recipient, subject, message text and priority (bulk/normal/urgent)
• Allow wildcard rules
• Allow substitution based on the rule, e.g.

WHENEVER ANY TROUBLE THEN SEND EMAIL MESSAGE TO {Account.EmailAddress} PRIORITY Urgent SUBJECT System Trouble MESSSAGE {TROUBLE TYPE}

WHENVER ANY ALARM, ANY AREA TURNS ON THEN SEND EMAIL MESSAGE TO {User1.EmailAddress} PRIORITY Urgent SUBJECT Alarm MESSSAGE {Alarm.Type} Alarm 

WHENEVER EVERY 30 MINUTES AND (Tstat 1) ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 90 DEG. F. THEN SEND EMAIL MESSAGE TO {User1.EmailAddress} SUBJECT High temp notification MESSAGE {Tstat1.Name} current temperature is {Tstat1.Temp} 

WHENEVER (Zn 2) BECOMES NOT SECURE THEN SEND EMAIL MESSAGE TO {User1.EmailAddress} SUBJECT {Zn 2.Name} MESSAGE {Zn 2.Name} {Zn 2.State}

Spanky, in another post, you mentioned an NTP fix in an upcoming release of the XEP software.

Any chance we could also get the table of emails expanded beyond 16 messages? I'd be OK if this were only for the 5.x firmware series if that was part of the issue.

That would be a great "temporary solution" for having a more dynamic message capability.

Thanks

I rather just see ELK develop a new "M2G" main board with an ethernet port (and maybe a few serial ports) built in. Then they could (I think) get rid of some of the oddities involved with the XEP.

Isn't that what the "M1 Platinum" is for? Any word on its development?

I'd just like to say I hope the expanded e-mail feature is still being considered. At the very least, more room for messages, and hopefully a redesign of the email system that would allow a list of emails to be defined, and then custom e-mail messages created using the rules feature.
