    Sensor Wire Length

    I2C will work reliably at 1 meter and 100 Kbaud. The distance increases as the speed decreases; i.e., 10 meters at 10 Kbaud.

    Omni pro 2 12 v door controls

    Okay, sounds like a simple mag lock.  So wire a relay per post #7 except with the NC contacts in series with the switch.

    Omni pro 2 12 v door controls

    Fantastic!  Do you know how the lock gets activated?  Simple switch or electronic control?  If electronic, some details on the make and model would be helpful.   If it's a simple switch, you just need a 12 volt relay controlled by an Omnipro output.  The contacts of the relay would be wired in...

    Omni pro 2 12 v door controls

    I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for.       a) sense whether or not the doors are open  b') sense whether or not the lock has been activated c) activate the lock d) all of the above

    Omni pro 2 12 v door controls

    Just add a suitable relay in parallel with the door lock.  The contacts of the relay then become just like window contacts.  Set up the Omnipro accordingly.

    POE injector or router?

    As you add cameras, just add more POE injectors.  What's the problem?

    Elk - Arduino integration

    A transistor will work to add an open collector output to an Arduino.  The open collector can then be connected to the Elk input.

    No Elk Joy - complete crash.

    You are missing a termination.  It could be an actual terminator, a broken wire, or a bad connection.

    Alternatives to C1M1 for M1

    So I'm left wondering how the 0 dB measurement was made.  Would this happen to be the "bars" indicator on the Elk C1M1?  If so, -85 dB should be good enough for at least 1 bar with the antenna directly connected.  You might just have a bad Elk C1M1 or maybe you have the Verizon version?

    Alternatives to C1M1 for M1

      For future reference, -85 dB is a weak signal.  0 dB (if that is an actual measured value) is a very strong signal.  You should make sure that the antenna has a solid connection.

    Elk M1XEP Digi Connect Box...is this normal?

    It's not MIL-spec, but as long as the terminals are soldered, I would consider it "normal" for this type of product.

    No communication between ElkRP and M1XEP

    Cycle power on the M1XEP, wait 10 minutes, and try again.  It should be working.

    Residential Electric Question

    The installation instructions are quite clear!  It does not have two ground connections.  Do not mistake the neutral connection for a ground connection.  They are different.  The ground wire does not normally carry current; the neutral does.

    Setup Different Arduino GPIO pins with different baudrate

    If you are talking about a software bit-banging I2C approach, then you can certainly change the clock rate on the fly to achieve three different communication rates.  However, it would be far more practical to use the one hardware I2C port on the MKR1000 for all three I2C Mini-Modules.  I'm...
