Google Closed My DSM Notification Account - PSA

I created a gmail account exclusively to relay DSM notifications to my main email. After nearly two years, Google disabled the account and denied my appeal to reinstate it. I verified from the takeout data that emails were only ever sent to my personal address, it was never taken over or used for malicious spam.

Let this be a warning for anyone who uses their personal google account in connection with DSM notifications. Google may flag your account and lock you out at any time without recourse.

Synology should investigate alternate, modern ways for the devices to send email notifications.

Edit: I didn't come here to boost my whopping 80 reddit karma, but I'm genuinely surprised by how poorly this post and my comments were received.

The fact is: a Gmail account I used in a way endorsed by Synology was eventually closed. Possibly this was due to a ToS violation that resulted from automated email sending.

You can accuse me of "holding it wrong". Okay, fine. I hope you're holding it right, then, and not holding it in the same hand you keep your decades of emails, photos, documents, contacts, account credentials... etc.

I2C Sensor Telemetry on Heltec V3 Repeater

I've been trying to get an INA219 and an AHT20 connected to my Heltec V3 meshcore repeater node, but they do not appear on the telemetry screen.

  • Both sensors are supported in firmware
  • I2C connected to pin 17 and 18 (same as the OLED)
  • I verified both sensors and oled are detected on the i2c bus using a scanner sketch on the Heltec V3
  • Console shows flurry of I2CRead -1 errors at node startup, no debug logs about AHT/INA being detected
  • I tested the sensors on a separate 3v3 supply in case the heltec was gating the 3V3 pins until after FW init

Anyone had success with sensors and Heltec V3? Thanks.
