The login username and password are defined in config.h
#define BASICAUTH "YWRtaW46cGFzc3dvcmQ="
which is a base64 encoded string, the decoded value is
this is the default login name and password.
to change the login, figure your new username and password, say for example
testuser:12345
then go to http://base64-encoder-online.waraxe.us website to get the base64 encoded value
the encoded value is dGVzdHVzZXI6MTIzNDU=
so you change the config.h entry to
#define BASICAUTH "dGVzdHVzZXI6MTIzNDU="
and next time it prompts for login, you enter testuser for username and 12345 for password.
The same base64 encoding is used for the email login and password, but they are separate for email. Change the value the same way as above, only do it separately for username, then for password value.
#define SMTPUSER "YWRtaW4="
#define SMTPPASSWORD "cGFzc3dvcmQ="
The login prompt is the same level of security you get with Neptune Apex controllers. I won't consider it secure by today's standards, but this is also what you get on a $500 controller. The ip address of all login attempts are logged in the controller log (the $500 controller does not). If needed, I can add code to increase the security level, but I don't see the need yet at this point.

you can add your own code now in the main loop to control pwm duty cycle on digital pins 5,6,7,8,9,46 (use analogWrite). variable timenow will contain the value of the current time. to convert that to seconds since midnight, call function
elapsedSecsToday(timenow)
I am getting errors, i dont have all the pieces yet, so i dont know if that is why, i am very new to arduinos. The error i am getting is
Apex:7: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token
Lots of errors like this.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I got it to compile after following the directions and commenting out the stuff from a few post back. so know to build it.. If I use this at work where I have no control of the dhcp and what IP address I get is this going to be a problem using this sketch? If I don't know the ip's to put in config.h?
was finally able to get it all compiled, biggest problem I had is I was unable to edit the libraries with the installation of Arduino's IDE. On a hunch I went ahead and downloaded the zipped version, I was able to edit them there. Just a friendly tip just in case anyone else runs into that problem.
I havnt gotten that far in my build yet, so not sure what problems you are facing, but here is some helpful reading in regards to GMAIL and SMTP:

hope this helps
