The specified string is not in the form required for an email address

[grannysmith59]

Hi, I've just installed v1.4.4 on another PC, and when testing the email as part of the setup wizzard, I get this error message:

"The specified string is not in the form required for an email address"

When setting notifications, the MQTT buttons don't remain "lit up" to show that they are enabled

There's also a typo in the add "Emal" Addresses dialog

[Ken98045]

There are 3 buttons that should turn green when clicked. The first is on the main screen for “continuous” video. The last 2 are on the area notification settings for MQTT. If you click on them they should go green. If you are saying that none of them do the I’m stumped right now. It is pretty basic functionality of the .NET Framework (the tool used to create the app) and Windows itself. If that is true then I’ll need to do some research. Do you have any Windows “themes” setup. Even then that should work. Thanks for the spelling report. I’ll fix it in the next release.

Regarding the email problem: What is the email address you are trying to send the test message to? They should be in the standard format (foo@bar.com). I may need to add some error checking here. Did you leave the address blank?

Sorry Ken, I should have been clearer, they turn green when clicked, but I expected them to stay green next time I went into that screen. Otherwise there's no way of knowing if it's on, or not, and no way to disable the mqtt notifications. I switched the install to another pc, because I wasn't getting any notifications via mqtt or email. Thanks, and a happy new year, Alan

Thanks you are right. This is a big bug. Either I’ll fix it for the next release or immediately. I hate to have a new release every other day but this one is big enough that I probably should since it affects functionality

At first glance I am not seeing it on my machine. I tried it and it worked for me. This will need some further research. I’ll look at it today. Have you tried email notifications, and are they working? Thanks very much for finding the MQTT bug. This was a bad one that would affect MQTT functionality. Therefore, I put Version 1.4.5 on Github.

OK, I was able to reproduce the problem. The problem is not in the destination email address but in your sending email address. If I use Ken.Koch@comcast.net as the sender it works. If I use Ken.Koch it doesn’t. Normally when I setup my email in Outlook/whatever I just use Ken.Koch. I think that Outlook won’t even work if I use Ken.Koch@comcast.net. Could you try using your full email address with the @PlusDomain added. It is possible that your email account won’t work that way, but it might. If the sending function I use won’t work without the full user name plus domain I may need to enforce the use of it that way. However, it is also possible that there are options that will allow me to send it the way you are expecting. This will need some further research.

Well, as far as I can tell it does require that the user name include the @Domain part. There is an option to have the domain entered separately, and then just use the user name: “John.smith”. In another entry you would be required to have to enter the domain (foo.bar) entered. Then the built-in function would create the “John.Smith@foo.bar” automatically behind the scenes. The problem is that I think that it would probably error out if someone entered John.Smith@foo.bar and then Domain: “foo.bar”. I think that the way it is now (combined) would be better as long as I let people know that the @Domain part is required if the user doesn’t enter it. I know that this is confusing. In fact, I think I ran across it 6+ months ago and forgot about it.

No email notifications aren't working either, I have email notifications set up to trigger every time I walk down my hallway, and haven't received any yet When adding new addresses into the "Set notifications", I just received this error message too: "Destination array is not long enough to copy all the items in the collection. Check array index and length"

Well, I know for sure it won’t work without the @gmail.com part in the email user. I’ll fix that now to make it clear it is required. If you were entering that as part your Email User Name I’m not sure what the problem is. I’ll look into it further. Were you on a different computer when it worked than when it didn’t? One thing at a time I guess.

Just installed 1.4.5, the mqtt green light is fixed. Thanks

I've just walk tested a camera, and got no notifications via email otr mqtt. But did receive this error message a few seconds after the walk test (I wasn't doing anything else, except looking at the screen):

"There was an unexpected error. Please report it: Destination array is not long enough to copy all the items in the collection. Check array index and length."

The program then closed.

Removed email notifications, and got an mqtt notification, but having set the topic as OnGuard/{Camera}/{Area} and motion payload as {Object}

The message I received was Onguard/Hall/hallway={Object} (I was expecting {Object} to be "person"

Sorry to be a pain, I'm off to bed now so I'll leave you in peace :-)

That appears to be an unrelated issue from your outgoing email server. I’m still looking into that. Can you tell me exactly how to reproduce that? If at all possible it would be good to have a click-by-click sequence after “Notifications Options” comes up. There should not be too many.

I’ll look at it today. Have you tried email notifications, and are they working? Thanks very much for finding the MQTT bug. This was a bad one that would affect MQTT functionality. Therefore, I put Version 1.4.5 on Github.

The MQTT stuff is not quite complete. Right now: Topic is limited to: Camera, Area, Motion, Object Payload is limited to File, Image, Confidence I’ll add Object for you. It needs to be there too. Next release…. I don’t know what the Destination Array stuff is yet. I’m working on it. Unfortunately, there is only limited information in the error message. I tried to make the error messages prettier, and I think that it removes information that would be helpful to me.
