Finally got my heatermeter up and running after replacing the PI zero works great as usual. The last problem is with the alarms, trying to get them sent to my email. After MUCH trial and error i think I have the smtp set. When I click in the test button I don't get it to send a email, when i go into the system log I get this

Wed May 1 16:07:51 2024 user.notice lmalarm: Sending email from HeaterMeter <xxxxxxx@windstream.net> to Larry <xxxxxxx@windstream.net>. \

Before I kept getting invalid credentials so i guess its and improvement. I've read a lot of posts and the wiki thing but the more I read the more I get confused . I have zero experience with computer programming , and no idea what the alarm scripts do. So with your help please be gentile think of me being in the first grade.
