What are people using these days as the best way for Indigo to notify of events? For years I have used email (via both the built in function and the better email plugin) to generate emails and/or texts. This worked fairly well. But lately gmail seems to almost always block Indigo from sending email, no matter how many times I change the setting in Indigo's dedicated gmail account, it seems to reset it back to not allowing an untrusted app to sign in and send an email. From perusing the forums, I see that the other email services seem to run into the same types of problems.
I am running Indigo 7.2 on a Mac Mini (OSX 10.11.4). I am an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kinda guy with respect to HA, so I haven't pushed past I7.2 (plus, I still have a handful of applescripts that I haven't converted). But I need to figure out some kind of reliable way for my system to be able to alert me to events beyond gmail saying it blocked a sign in attempt.
Any suggestions?
