Halo IOT Smart Sensor Administrator's Manual page 31

The HALO uses SMTP(simple mail
transfer protocol) to send out alarms.
• You can use you own SMTP server.
• If you do not have an internal SMTP
server, you can use a free Gmail
account. We would recommend
creating a separate Gmail account for
your HALO units.
• Detailed setup instructions for your
Gmail account are in our HALO
Notifications Setup document located
on our web site. There are specific settings that need to be activated within the account so be sure to
follow the guide. Recipients can be comma separated and can be emails or phone numbers:
Provider Email-to-SMS Address Formats:
AT&T:
Sprint:
T-Mobile:
Verizon:
Check "Also Send Test Email(s)" and click "Save & Test Connection." If test passes, you should get email/text,
if test failed look at the options below.
• Firewall is blocking the communication between HALO and SMTP server.
• SMTP setting parameters are wrong.
• HALO might not have internet access (external SMTP)
• IMAP is disabled on your Gmail account (external SMTP)
• Gmail is suspicious of login. Simply login into Gmail and confirm that it was you that signed in.
• HALO has bad / wrong dns, router, gateway, ip
