C. Email Notification
Note: The email notification feature will be available in the first quarter of 2014.
At the bottom of the Settings page, click on Email Notification. The Email Notification page appears.
This page is for setting up email notification of input events. The RC-4 can be programmed to send an email
if one of the inputs closes, and also if it opens. As described in Programming A. Settings, 3. Input Status
Phrasing, the input status can be described as something other than “open” or “closed”, and this customized
description is used in the email.
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com is filled in as the SMTP server because Google offers this as a free
service and gmail email accounts are free and easy to set up. It is likely that other SMTP servers could
be used, but they might not be as universally accessible as gmail.
Port: If using SSL, fill in port 465. If not using SSL, enter 25.
Use SSL: This is checked by default to make use of the security provided by SSL. If security is not a
concern, this can be unchecked. Note that TLS is not supported.
User Name: This is the email address being used to send the email notification. The domain part is
already filled in; adding the username completes the email address. Example:
[email protected]Password: Fill in the password of the email account the RC-4 is using to send the email.
To: Enter the destination email address
The remaining checkboxes let you decide which inputs will trigger an email notification, and whether an open
contact produces an email, or a closed contact, or both. Note that it is the state change that actually triggers
the email, and the RC-4 sends just one email when the state change happens.
Example: Input 1 Opens is checked, Input 1 Closes is unchecked
Assuming that the Input 1 sensor is normally open, an email will be sent when the contact closes. Noth-
ing will be sent when the contact opens, but once this has happened, an email will be sent when the
contact closes again.
Example: Input 3 Opens is checked, Input 3 Closes is checked
An email is sent when the contact closes, and another email is sent when it opens again. If these state
changes happen just a few seconds apart, more than one notification may be included in a single email.
