No function of notification

[comtechnik]

I have the latest version of ESPEasy. I use the “normal” version once and the “display” version once. In the “Display” version the notification works normally, but unfortunately this does not work in the “normal” version! But use the same SMTP settings for both. Is this possibly a bug?
Please help! Thanks!

Which exact build file did you use? (filename, see sysinfo tab)

[comtechnik]

ESP_Easy_mega_20231225_normal_ESP8266_4M1M

Both have the same board, a Wemos D1 mini.
One is running the version "ESP_Easy_mega_20231225_normal_ESP8266_4M1M" and the other is running the version "ESP_Easy_mega_20231225_display_ESP8266_4M1M".
Notification works in the display version, but not in the normal version

I don't understand your answer? Does that mean that I should create my own build? I don't understand why, because the "normal" version includes notification, but it doesn't work.

Can you see any message(s) in the log, related to notifications? Possibly error messages or connection failures?

[TD-er]

This isn't an answer, but it is a label.
I did read your reply, but set it to unread for myself as I need to look into this later this evening.

With labels I can find things again later and also easily search through existing topics with the same label.
So for now it is: Have to dig into this a bit deeper.

Sorry, thank you very much!

This is what is written in the LOG when you press send:

16279149: Timeout while reading input data!
16280149: Timeout while reading input data!
16281149: Timeout while reading input data!
16282149: Timeout while reading input data!

but use the same SMTP settings on both devices

[TD-er]

Do you use DHCP or static assigned IP?
Can you check the DNS server and gateway IP addresses as shown on the sysinfo page?
Which SMTP port do you use?

[comtechnik]

I use a static IP
the DNS and gateway are correct
SMTP port on both 2525

Can you try on the same node (with this settings) to use the display build (or switch to the normal build on the working node) ?
Just to make sure it isn't any setting or maybe even a conflict on your network (e.g. IP is used by some other device too, or some firewall block is present in the router for this IP)

The code for both builds should be the same. If there would be some difference, then it should be something like "Notification" is included or not included in a build.

[comtechnik]

Don't quite understand what they mean. They are two separate devices, each has its own static IP. Not in the dhcp area. Both have the same notification settings, the same SMTP server, the same user name and the same password.

What you're seeing is this:

• 2 devices with same settings (apart from static IP)
• Only difference on devices is build ("normal" vs "display" build
• device with "normal" build can't send, device with "display" build can

Since this should not happen, there are 3 options:

• There is some bug in ESPEasy (not impossible, but harder to check quickly)
• Settings perhaps not as "the same" as you would think
• Some external factor in your network causing this behavior.

The last 2 options can be excluded by simply flashing the "display" build to the node running the "normal" build.

If this then "solves" the issue of not being able to send, then it is clearly a bug in ESPEasy.
If the node still isn't able to send, then it must be either some setting which is different, or there is some external factor.

External factors can be:

• There is another device with that same IP present on your network
• Router/firewall may be set to block device on that IP to connect to some online service/host
• WiFi connection bad causing timeouts or slow reply from other hosts
