I have an input expander connected to an M1-DBH that is causing a lot of log issues with System Restart.  Note that the zones on the expander appear to function correctly but I get these in the logs all the time: 1367 = SYSTEM START UP Input Exp 3 this happens about every 3-5 minutes.     I have...

So I was going to post on this thread since it is similar but also very old http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/3204-outputs/ .   My issue is when i have the RRS-Mod installed and triggered via the Following Rule WHENEVER ANY FIRE ALARM TURNS ON THEN TURN OUT 3 ON   And turn it off with this rule...

Is there an API for the ELK M1 that allows you to put the system into a specific Alarm State?   Example I have sensors in the house that are not directly connected to the ELK but would want them to trigger the ELK, say leak sensors to trigger a Water Alarm or even a Camera using object detection...

So I had to replace my keypad 1 due to the old one constantly losing comms. The new keypad a kp2 went in fine and can arm disarm just fine. The f keys illuminated based on the output status I have configured. However the f keys are not triggering rules that i have setup. My other keypad...

I was attempting to update my Elk M1G to the latest firmware 5.3.0 using ElkRP2 2.0.20 via the M1EXP which is on v1.3.26.   About halfway through the update the firmware update fails.  And then I am back showing the M1G has an erased firmware.  Everytime I try to update the firmware it fails.  I...

Just recently I have been unable to open ElkRP2. It complains that it can not find the ElkRP2 operators database. It is looking for an C:\Program Files (x86)\ElkRP\Ops2.mdb However it is not there. I use Crashplan for backups and checked that folder back as far as a year ago and that file...

So I have a button on my keypad that bypasses the Back door zone for 2minutes. It is called my "Let the Dogs Out" feature :). This works as expected expect one thing. The chime announcement when the bypassed door does not happen. I suspect this is because the Chime does not happen anytime...

So I have been trying to figure out a way to measure temperature thoughout our house without too much effort. I stumbled onto 1-wire which seems it may fit the bill. Our house is an older house built in the 70s but has a phone jack in each room. We do not use the phone lines at all. I...

Wondering if anyone else with a Keypadlinc notice that it buzzes? I do not have mine controlling any load, however it has a buzz that is noticeable within about 3-4 feet. My SwitchLincs do not buzz

Tonight after almost a year of no issues, I heard my Elk annouce that Keypad 1 module is missing. Sure enough when I check the keypad the backlight is on but the display is blank and appears unresponsive. Note the upstairs keypad was still working correctly and the RF module was still fine...

So my house is a mid-70s built house and the electrician decided that everything needed to be 3-way even if the other switch was in the same room within 6 feet and every light have its own switch even if it did not make sense to ever have the 2 sconces in the room on without each other!. Which...

I just installed a reversing relay and have an issue with it causing Fire Trouble after a smoke detector goes off. It does make the sounders in all the smokes go off however it causes a Fire Trouble on 2 of the 3 smoke zones. All 3 zones are wired the same with a EOLR on each one. I am using...

So I have installed a Elk 28" can with a outlet mounted on the bottom. The outlets ground is tied to the metal Jbox the outlet is in and the metal Jbox is secured to the metal Elk can. Is this sufficient grounding of the Elk can? Note the Elk can has no ground screw mounted on it. Second...

So I am about to embark on running network wiring finally in my home. Plan is to run 2 cat6 and 2 RG6 to each room. Familiar with wiring for a datacenter but not so much for a home. Plan to home run everything back to a room in the basement. This room is finished but thankfully has a drop...

WHENEVER F3 KEY ON ANY KEYPAD ACTIVATES THEN TOGGLE Output 207 WHENEVER Output 207 STATE IS TURNED ON THEN BYPASS Garage Door (Zn 18) THEN DISPLAY "Guest Mode " IN Home (Area 1) INDEFINITELY WHENEVER Output 207 STATE IS TURNED OFF THEN CLEAR...

So I need to get wiring between my basement and my attic in my 2 story house (3 floors counting basement). My thought is to run the conduit along the air return duct (outside the duct not inside). Issue I have with this is the air return makes a dog-leg turn with the horizontal section being...

I can not seem to find any direct answer whether the GE 60-652-95 CO sensor works with the ELK-M1XRF2G receiver and M1G control board? Also I have a family room with a Wood Stove in it that I would like to place a CO sensor in, however most say to mount no closer than 10ft to a fuel burning...

So I have done what I refer to as Stage 1 of my Security/HA system install. One part of the house that is not secured that I want to fix is the garage. Due to the fact that we actually use our garage to put cars in, we enter the house through the garage. Now the issue I have is if I were just...

Trying to fine tune my Elk rules right now. However the "THEN" options seem to be on the lean side of things. I do not see how I can enable/disable the chime for a SPECIFIC keypad, or how to control the backlight of a keypad. Also is it possible to control the lights of a key on the keypad...

So I have installed a good bit of my security system. In the process I have had to open a few holes in the wall of our Garage. I am not ready yet to purchase the needed items to sense and control the GDO however I would like to pre-wire it so that I can close up the holes in the wall. I have...
