That's not rubbish, it's the output of either test #2 or #3 of the diagnostic firmware. Go to File->Diagnostics and in the window that pops up press the enter key. That should stop the output and give you a menu with diagnostic commands. You may run other commands to verify the workings of the gateway. If all checks out, go ahead and load the gateway firmware.

When i setup an email server in OTmonitor to be able to send alerts, it complains "Can't read "sock": no such variable.". What could be the reason for this?
Could we also have a (configurable) CH water pressure alert?
Addendum: The above in when TLS is selected. On Plain the message is: No supported authentication scheme. The smtp server is the one offered by my isp. It requires no authentication. Running on Win8.1.
Thanks!

Copy/paste error on my part I'm afraid. If you want to fix it yourself, get the otmonitor source code and on line 234 of alerts.tcl change $sock to $fd, so you get:
Code: Select all
tls::import $fd
fconfigure $fd -translation crlf -buffering line
smtpputs $fd "EHLO [lindex [fconfigure $fd -sockname] 1]"
I'll look into adding a water pressure alert.

Thanks, that helped. The alerts don't work with open relay smtp servers. I've commented out the
Code: Select all
smtpauth $fd $data $cfg(email,user) $cfg(email,password)
and now it sends emails just fine. Also hacked CH pressure alert into it.... (copied the roomcold related items and modified them for CH pressure). And made the limits configurable.
I need the CH pressure alert as my 1 year old Vaillant has sprung a leak in the heat exchanger (i think, it loses 750ml/h from one of it's drainage hoses) so i need to refill frequently until the installer comes round on monday)

Download it, make it executable, run it.
