Sending E-mail when the "System starts" - Fotaje - 29.10.2026
Hello dear experts,
i need some support on eventually simple task.
I want to send e-mail to a specific user every time when the system "starts again", mainly after power failure. I have seen that there is a record on the Alert manager. It is a for of an internal (system) message and i'm struggling on how to send this exact message as e-mail Notification.
My e-mail configuration works fine. I have tested with other group object.
Common scripts are configured. i'm using the Google e-mail server.
Event script is created.
I need help with the syntax of the script.
Sincerely,

Just use Start up(init)script

Thanks for the fast reply,
unfortunately it's a bit complex for me to understand.
Can you describe the process step-by-step so i can test it

Init script will run once after each system starts so just send yourself an email then.

OK, i have never done it to be honest. (setting initial scripts)
This is my event Script, how to adapt it to be initial one ?
value = event.getvalue()
to = 'mymail@gmail.com'
subject = 'Alert'
message = 'KNX object 4/0/1 value is: ' .. tostring(value)
res, err = mail(to, subject, message)
if not res then
log(err)
end

As it is not event, you cannot use value = event.getvalue(), Use value = grp.getvalue('1/1/1') instead

You should add a delay to the init script. If you have a power outage LM can start faster than your router so sending an email can fail.
Code:
os.sleep(60)
to = 'mymail@gmail.com'
subject = 'Alert'
message = 'LM started'
res, err = mail(to, subject, message)
if not res then
log(err)
end
