Hi Rob,
I'm having trouble getting this to work... So far I've:
  • Created a throw-away gmail account & tested it...
  • Enabled email in robo-tank settings
  • Entered my throw-away gmail in the "from email..."
  • Carefully entered the password for this email
  • Entered a couple of my personal emails addressed for the "recipients..."
When I click send test email is reads "email sent", but then I'm not receiving anything. I imagine they're not getting out of the raspberry pi or maybe not getting past my router but I'm not sure how to go about problem solving this? (I'm at the novice level with the pi and router settings...) Thanks

Hi @GarrickG unfortunately it looks like gmail stopped supporting 3rd party apps using just username and password to log in. They used to have a "Less Secure App Access" option you could turn on but I've just looked for it and they've removed it. I'll see if I can find another method to use gmail.

Outlook emails work, I'm using mine to send alerts. Maybe setup one of those for now.
