[DeputyDawg]

Issue Resolved but can't figure out how to delete this post...
 
I open Dealer Access 3
 
I connect to OMNI Pro II Board with Controller OMNI Pro II 3.15
 
Menu shows Status OK
 
In Setup it shows the Email Notification Board with Subdirectories
 
When I click on the Update I get a pictures with a lot of Invalid Data
 
I tried to Update to Firmware OMNI Notifier 1.3 and also 1.5 and it downloads with no errors and says Completed but it never Highlights the NEXT Button so that I can continue
 
Everything else seams to work with the OMNI Pro II Board.

Google Aldous Systems Knowledge Base - Omni Notifier Setup Guide. It'll explain and give you solution. At least this resolved my email issue.
The update issue was that the latest was already installed but I didn't initially see the current instal.

Omni Notifier Setup Guide
Recently, some mail service providers such as Gmail and Yahoo have ceased support for SSLv3, utilized by the Omni Notifier for sending email messages. This can cause notifications to cease being delivered as intended.

Leviton recommends using a third party SMTP service that allows non-SSL/TLS communications to replace the customer's current email properties in PC Access. Due to the nature of these communications, caution should be exercised when sending security related notifications.

Leviton has identified the following service as an alternative which includes a free option for notification purposes: smtp2go.com.

Please follow these smtp2go.com instructions:

• Visit http://info.leviton.com/e/48512/2016-08-02/43btr7/186384792 and follow the instructions to create a free account. 
• Using account credentials from the step above, login to smtp2go.com and follow the instructions to set up an SMTP username and SMTP password.
  The Omni Notifier will use this to connect to the SMTP service in PC Access.

[*]Using PC Access software, update the Email Settings for the Omni Notifier: 

• Set the "Send from" email address to [email protected]
• Enter SMTP username and SMTP password for the SMTP service connection.
• Enter SMTP settings below:
  SMTP server: mail.smtp2go.com
• Port: 2525 
• Encryption: No 

Write configuration to the Omni + Notifier board and test.

Thanks PhilG!  This solution worked for me for some, but not all of my email addresses.  My issue now is that I cannot get smtp2go to sent Verizon text/email messages.  Per the instructions I'm using [email protected] but nothing comes thru.  Have you had any luck with text messages? (Using OPII v3.17 and Notifier v2.0).
Thanks,
Geoff

Here continue to utilize STunnel as i runs on anything left on 24/7.  Never did purchase he Email board here. 
 
STunnel is easy to configure on the RPi.
 
1 - ssh to your RPI
2 - sudo apt install stunnel
3 - create one cert
 
cd /etc/stunnel
 
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config stunnel.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem
This creates a private key, and self-signed certificate.
 
4 - use the following configuration file if using gmail (it is the same for other email services).  Here using T-Mobile texting and it works fine.
 
type sudo nano etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
 
copy and paste the following:
 
cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
debug = 7
output = /var/log/stunnel.log
client = yes

[pop3s]
accept = 127.0.0.1:11110
connect = pop.gmail.com:995

[smtps]
accept = 127.0.0.1:5000
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
 
5 - configure autostart
 
sudo nano /etc/default/stunnel4
 
And change ENABLED to 1:
ENABLED=1
 
/etc/init.d/stunnel4 restart

My text messages come thru. But I’m using T-mobile.

If you have friend on another carrier I would try that to see if that is working.

I am guessing what Verizon does. Does the email address your using work from other email? If it does, then verizon is probably blocking this sender. When I have run into a problem where the service provider is blocking, I found it impossible to get them to change to unblock :-(.

Reading about verizon (again I don’t use verizon), I found some people complaining that their email to SMS is not reliable. Some commented that “[email protected]” works better.

Good luck

Thanks PhilG.  I tried the [email protected] and that doesn't seem to work either.   I'll see if I can try to text it with a friend's ATT or T-mobile phone.

I am using Next Alarm, Homeseer and OmniLinkBridge today for texting to TMobile.  Over doing it a bit I test the speed of texting.
 
I do not utilize the Leviton email board.  I have set options in Next Alarm to text me (and email me) status of certain zones and alarm stuff.

What alarm monitoring company are you utilizing?

Hello All, I am continuing discussion to as if [email protected] is still usable since the discontinuation. I have not had emailer notifications since July 2024.
Thanks

I have them at four different sites using the Leviton notifier service. All stopped working a few months ago. My assumption is they are killing off the service without officially telling people. The settings are still there on Leviton's site, and you can still authenticate a board from PC Access, but they just don't work anymore. I ended up using SMTP2GO and I am back in business.
