Missing "Notifications" tab in Custom build

[iz8mbw]

Hello.
I have created some Custom build by edit "Custom.h" in order to have a bin with all Plugins I need but I was not able to have the "Notifications" tab in the Web interface.
Both

Code: Select all

#define USES_N001   // Email
#define USES_N002   // Buzzer

are enabled.

What I miss?

Thanks.

You will have to disable the line with '#define NOTIFIER_SET_NONE', or possibly replace with '#define NOTIFIER_SET_STABLE' (test first with commenting the define, if that doesn't work as intended, add the other define)

Thanks, it works!

How in my custom build do more items in notification because there are only 3?
What values to edit when creating custom build?

Problem with increasing the max number of notifications is that it can render your settings files incompatible with other builds.

See the NOTIFICATION_MAX in src/CustomBuild/ESPEasyLimits.h file

N.B. increasing this has never been tested, so not sure if you may run in other issues.

[damiak]

Ok I'll check and let you know if the number of items has changed

[Ath]

Well, the tech limit, without completely breaking the settings file out of its boundaries, is 4 notifiers, but changing it from 3 to 4 will already fail compilation, because of compile-time checks that really need investigation before changing and thorough testing afterwards.

Maybe you can explain why you need more than 3 Notification plugins?

I have a mail server in the local network on Synology and I would like to send different notifications depending on which button I press or which GPIO is activated and then I check it when I get home. I'm just learning.

Hi @damiak

I've opened PR #5026 to add support for a user-defined subject when using the Notify command, like:

Code: Select all

Notify,1,'Custom message content','My own subject'

Downloads available from this GH Actions run (A free Github account is required to be able to download)

This should resolve the need for multiple Notifications configured.

NB: I only added the subject part, as the user defined message content was already available, but not documented so I also updated the documentation

[damiak]

Thank you for your help

@damiak The PR has been merged, and will be in the next ESPEasy release.

I recently bought an esp32c3, I have a project in which I send email notifications when I have the appropriate status on GPIO to my own server in the local network on synology and I do it without ssl, I wanted to transfer it to esp32 but the notifications do not come there because there is probably only ssl and I cannot set the synology mail station to go over ssl.

The question is, can I disable ssl mail when compiling custom firmware and how?

[TD-er]

That issue has recently been solved: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/5238

You could fetch one of the latest builds from the GitHub Actions build, like this one here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 3229648014

Or if you need your own custom build, the fixes for sending mail without SSL are already merged, so you could use the latest code from the 'mega' branch.

[damiak]

Thank you,
I will use the ready one because compilation is not always successful for me.
Do I have to set something differently or is it like it used to be on 8266 without ssl? I use port 25

[TD-er]

It should be as simple as just setting the port to 25.
Please let us know if it is working as it should.

[damiak]

Now everything is ok, thank you.

[TD-er]

Great!
Thanks for the feedback.
