7 years ago Thank you for your feedback. The answer to most of your questions is that I am a novice hobbyist Python programmer who has not been able to keep up with OctoPrint API changes. I wrote this plugin as a proof-of-concept for my own use and have shared it in hopes it would provide a starting point for others. If you read my responses to other reported issues, you will note that I have openly acknowledged this ability deficit and have repeatedly invited others with more expertise to contribute fixes to the exact problems you have noted. Please do write another completely different plugin that works and installs in one step; I will use it and direct visitors to this page to do so as well.
Lastly, please re-read your report and recognize that your written conduct is unkind. Your technical criticism is valid but your insulting tone is not.

My god, these plugins should have reviews on them. I spent 2 hours trying to get this thing working... it looks great, screens shots look great, but if I have to get into putty and install yagmail and keyring and other stuff after digging around to find out why none of it can be found, figure out what virtual profiles are... all this to get a simple email notification? Why use Yagmail, why don't you just use smtplib? Is all this so that passwords are stored securely? Who cares about that, if they have access to your script files from the internet you have bigger problems, having the password accessible by the script wouldn't matter. Why not have a test button, so you can test the setup? Why not have a port number option, for non-standard SMTP ports Why not have TLS option and other standard SMTP settings I need to just make another completely different plugin that works and installs in one step... this one is pretty much useless. I finally got it all setup, and I don't even know if it works; testing from the yagmail shows it is still not working. WOW.
