YBeNormal December 31, 2007 Author Share December 31, 2007 Nope. They added SMTP support some time ago. Requires authentication but it is available and does work. https://mail.google.com/support/bin/search....mtp&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discretekarma December 31, 2007 Share December 31, 2007 I was over at Brian Wards house picking up some filter socks and he suggested that I switch the SMTP to Comcast.Net and that worked right away. I'm all set now thanks to everyone's help. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discretekarma December 31, 2007 Share December 31, 2007 (edited) Now that I have the email notifications working I do have another question. Right now the email sent to me state the time, date, PH, temp, and the first 4 out of 8 DC8 timer's status. Does that make sense? It says HD1 Off Auto, HD2 Off Auto... How do I get it to say all 8 socket's status? I found out that it does have all the information when it's emailed but only has partial when it's text messaged so this message can be disregarded.

flowerseller December 31, 2007 Share December 31, 2007 I was going to say you don't have alll eight sockets programed on. The ones I'm not actually using are set to: If time > 00:00 then A05 ON If time > 00:00 then A06 ON If time > 00:00 then A07 ON If time > 00:00 then A08 ON Then they might show up above is a sample but I do know any socket not turned ON, will not show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnguyen4007 January 4, 2008 Share January 4, 2008 WOO HOO. I finally got around to setting up the email notification. Thanks to everyone for the problems and solutions. I just basically followed you guys along and got it up and running. Most likely much faster than I would otherwise. Next part is to program the heater and lights.... I love this thing!

lman January 6, 2008 Share January 6, 2008 Is their a way to configure all the setup menus from a computer? Just thinking it would make setup much easier. Currently configuring email and my thumbs are getting tired. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnguyen4007 January 6, 2008 Share January 6, 2008 I see some folks have programming line that has OSC and RND. Can you tell me what they are and what they do? How do I program mine to notify me in case if the DC8 got trip and no power is feeding it? Is it POWER 000 then ALM ON? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch January 6, 2008 Share January 6, 2008 Is their a way to configure all the setup menus from a computer? Just thinking it would make setup much easier. Currently configuring email and my thumbs are getting tired. Cheers As above while Aquanotes will do this, and lite is free, if you have a III or a III Pro you DO NOT NEED Aquanotes. Everything can be done by just hooking the AC unit up to your computer network and then using a web browser. By far the best way to do this (oh and yet another reason to get a III or a III Pro) I see some folks have programming line that has OSC and RND. Can you tell me what they are and what they do? OSC Turns something on for a certain amount of minutes and then off for certain amount of minutes. For example if you have a kalk stirer that you want to come one 1 mintue an hour: OSC 001/059 THEN KLK ON The KLK timer is on for 1 min then off for 59. Random works almost the same except it's on for a random amount of time (1 to # programed minutes) and then off a random amount of time (1 to # programed minutes). How do I program mine to notify me in case if the DC8 got trip and no power is feeding it? Is it POWER 000 then ALM ON? There is currently no way to do this. THe power statement only works if two things are true: 1) The power that goes off is the power supplied to the controller unit 2) The controller unit has a backup power source (otherwise it's off and can't do anything ) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesbuf January 6, 2008 Share January 6, 2008 I'm finally starting to program mine. I've read though this one and have been following Scott's thread as well. Thanks so much to everyone who is providing examples. For programming my main pump, I'm using this code: If Time > 00:00 Then MP1 On Is there any drawback to using this?? If so, is there a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lman January 6, 2008 Share January 6, 2008 (edited) Just downloaded AquaNotes lite and have it communicating with the AC III. Thanks for the help. I was curious if anyone had any ideas on a problem I am having with the email configuration. Now I am configuring the email portion of the AC III. Has anyone been able to get it to work using yahoo email as the smtp server? It appears that that I am connecting to the yahoo smtp server, but that I am missing some information. Here is the output from the cons after I telnet to the AC III. Thanks for any help or ideas going forward. I am trying to upload my first image so I hope it works.

Nothing is happening. n I changed brought up the DOS screen and followed the directions that you ran Scott through. Its still not working. I'm still running DSL through AOL (my dad refuses to switch to anything else), is there anything special I need to do because of this?
