Not an expert. But, any particular reason you need 4 wire smokes? Much of what I read suggests it’s extra headache without much benefit for typical residential installs. Also the diagram appears to show 2 wire.
I’m using a System Sensor COSMOD2W with COSMO2W CO and smoke detectors. The setup...
I can’t speak specifically to WiFi lighting as there are many different devices and manufacturers. I don’t use any. But if you have an Elk, have you looked into an ISY? It allows control of network devices which could work for WiFi.
I’m using my ISY from Universal Devices which integrates...
I can’t comment on specifics and maybe this falls short in some areas but I’m encouraged that Elk is making new products...

Must be a shortcoming of ElkRP itself. The ISY admin console interface will show them real time. Can’t remember if you use the ISY or not.

You can call them and see if they have a discount on their new cellular BAT (assuming you are upgrading from their current t offering?). Writing from memory - I have Verizon which I think has longer runway on 3G but am currently using the cellular ”BAT” they sell. I called about an upgrade but...
Have you tried looking for a stereo speaker that has left and right channels in a single unit and you could use 2 of them? I’ve not heard of something like what you’re looking for. You could try a Bluetooth receiver module and then build your own I suppose...

Okay but if I understand you’re adding sensors. Those don’t go on the bus. An M1XIN (input expander) would go on the bus and you connect sensors to that. What am I missing?

Just heard the Minnesota Department of Health with the CDC is going door to door to conduct random Covid tests. WTF? No thanks. I pray for the souls of the unfortunate people that have to conduct these tests if they ever become mandatory. Won’t happen here!

Larry when read through this I understood some concern about real-time facial recognition which my point was simply that that’s a different animal than a static photo where people are looking and smiling at a close camera. I don’t claim to know the details but presumably doing real time facial...
Wondering what the topology / system looks like here. You mention you may need maybe 3 hubs (implying > 18 devices on the bus) yet the wire distances are short. Just curious what is all connected to the data bus.

The C1M1 is really a professional product as I understand and has limited DIY functionality. Search here and you’ll see others have had problems getting it setup. Use the M1XEP for Ethernet.

I think you need to enroll each “loop” separately. Double check the instructions closely.
Edit: also seeing that 3ft is a UL requirement in the instructions. But if you don’t need UL burglary certification it should still work within reason.

I’m in the process of enhancing my WiFi infrastructure and experience here.
First question we need answered I think is how is he currently getting his WiFi internet connection? A roommate, school WiFi, his own connection, etc...

Rock on!! Glad I could help and give back as so many have helped me here.
For me, since sorta by definition I’m not using disabled rules I end up deleting them so I’ll know if there’s a real error. If you have them in RP for reference / testing, once you’re done you can print the rules to...
