Tried all the ideas here. None worked :(   Anything else I could try?

Just reinstalled a new Elk RP software on a new windows machine. So I connected to the system, obviously everything from the system came in as a conflict as everything is new to the Database.    The issue is that the software won't let me select any of the items to resolve the conflicts. None of...

Thanks for the help. That makes sense. I ended up making a rule that is associated witht he function keys for the lights. I didn't realize that the rules also have a space for the 'keypad f' buttons :P

Ok, I have the function button set to task.....but when you create a task there is no way to tell it to run a rule, all I am allowed to do is enter the name, show it or not, and add a voice description. No way to assign a rule to it, that is what is confusing me.

I have an Elk M1 Gold system and I am trying to program the F5 and F6 buttons to turn on all lights on and off. All the lights are currently using UPB and are connected and automated through Elk now without any issues. Well I created a task with Elk RP called ALL Lights. What I don't...

Thanks for all the help. Your explanations helped me alot. Sometimes I wish there were standards for all this junk and there would not be any more confusion.

I have installed the regular UPB HAI Switches both dimming and non-dimming without any issues. What I am wondering about now is the installation of the AUX switch when in a 3 way system. Is it the same connections? I am confused if the control yellow wire is different when in a three way...

Ok well I put both sets of input wires into the m1G, and bring it back online..only one of the serial expanders is blinking. The one that IS blinking is the one I added today with the two TR-40's attatched, but they are not getting any signals from the elk, they are not responding to commands...

and we can get these speakers where.....

When I hook up my 2nd data bus hub (both retro) what is the wire schematic for daisy chaining them together? Meaning is it from the 4th input in the 1st hub to the data input of the second or the input 1 of the 2nd hub. Hope that doens't sound too odd... Thanks

Well I spoke to Brad this morning over at Elk. He said that having to RS-485 devices on one input on the serial expander should not be a problem. So that should work fine. BUT now I am reading the RCS manual and cannot find how to change the address of the thermostats so that one is number 1...

Well if certain people would call others back.... lol
