What is/are your question(s)?

Is there a way to just get email notifications sent for EXERCISING, RUNNING, OUTAGE, and OFF-READY?

I've been trying to dig through the .py files (mymail.py, etc.) to see if I can just modify it but i cannot seem to find thee states.

Hi @EvanET13

in the web interface, the Notifications page will allow you to choose between the categories outage, warning, info and error.

To answer your question, for just those categories and nothing else, no.

Presently the info category is a catch all that includes any change in state of the controller and it also includes a couple of non critical events like the software starting and daylight savings time change.

When gemon starts an initial email with the controller state is sent (a state change from unknow to know) and and email that lets you know the software is starting. Both of these are the info category unless you start genmon with an alarm on the controller then the initial controller state would be warning.

Here is more detail on the categories.

error - unexpected results from the controller
info - genmon starting, daylight savings time change, and when the generator changes state
outage - when an outage starts and stops
warning - alarm or warning state in the controller
