I have 80 zones in my system, and, until recently, hadn't used any in the 65-80 range. I just added a zone 65. It looks like my M1KPNAV keypads cannot see zone 65, and they stop the display after zone 64. This applies to both the "zone status" menu, and also the "show violated zones" feature...

Every time I do a "connect to system" to my M1 Gold with my RP software, I get a popup saying "Conflicts found..." with the two check-box items highlighted being Rules and Texts. I can send my configuration to the system, disconnect, and then reconnect 2 seconds later and I get the "Conflicts...

I want to be able to use one of my keypad function-keys to toggle a relay and various other things on and off. Press it once and the stuff goes one, press it again later and the stuff goes off. Seemed pretty straight-forward. I set up a task, and assigned that task to a function-key on the...

The the system is armed and an exterior door is opened starting the entry countown, the keypad sounds a fairly loud, solid tone. I know I can adjust keypad beeps and tones in RP2, but these seem to be for keypad presses, and none of these seem to have any bearing on the entry countown alert...

I've taken the plunge into Z-wave and installed a M1XSLZW. So far, so good, and I'm controlling lighting and other devices. Next step is to add thermostats. I've searched and found some older threads on this, but the manufacturers keep coming out with new devices, and there's "z-wave plus" too...

I'm looking to install remote temperature sensors in various rooms. I already have one M1ZTS, but don't like the fact that it has to be installed on the primary M1 board, as I want to install more and put them on input expander boards. (the main M1 board is full, with more important life safety...

In the RP2 software, when opening up the Rules panel, there's an instruction at the bottom of the panel that includes the statement: "if a THEN statement contains a 'FOR' it will use one additional Rule". I've never seen any "FOR" conditional in any Elk rules, and am curious what this means...

I'm installing an M1 system with 11 items on the data bus: 3 input expanders, 2 output expenders, and 6 keypads. I want to use the M1DBH (data bus hub with RJ45 connectors) for a cleaner install and easier termination. I would need to use two hubs to fit 11 devices, since each has 8 ports. Each...

I finally got around to updating the firmware in my M1XEP, since Comcast recently disabled non-SSL port 25 email. Even though I sort of made it through the firmware update process, my M1XEP will not send emails, and I see no option for selecting SSL.   I also seem to be left with a strange...

Looks like big changes with the newly release M1EXP firmware. Several possible improvements, however it drops the Java interface, which could be a problem. Has anybody testing this and used the new cloud interface? And does anybody know if installing this firmware (and loss of Java capability)...

Anybody know of a 4-wire smoke with a built in end-of-line relay, but WITHOUT rate-of-rise heat detection? I've got a GE 541NCXTE, which is great, but it's in a place where rate-of-rise sensing causes false alarms. Granted, I could just get an external EOLR, but i like the elegance of having it...

I was happy to see an M1/EZ8 firmware update, hoping it might resolve a few glitches or provide some improvements. In looking at Elk's release notes, it looks like everything in this update is related to wireless operation. I don't do anything wireless in my system. So I'm thinking I'll skip...

I have CO detectors (zone definition 17) with trouble relays which open the line to take the EOL resistor off the alarm contacts. This properly triggers a trouble condition on my keypads. But I want to write a rule to send an email when this happens. In "Miscellaneous system", I see a "troubles"...

I've got an M1KPB keypad in my bedroom. Every now and then, the keypad emits a quick flicker of bright light, as though it were a camera flash going off. No system troubles get reported, and when I check bus errors, they are near zero. The system works just fine, so I suppose I can ignore this...

Every now and then, I see a little icon at the top left corner of the display on an M1KP. It sort of looks like an animation of a clock with a second hand going around it clockwise. Anybody else seen one of these or know what it is? See attached snapshot...

I'm running Elk's "M1ToGo", and it doesn't seem to properly show the system status. I also have this same problem with remote access apps such as myKeypad, so I suspect the problem is not with the apps, but with the way the M1 is reporting its status. I have an M1XEP that connects my M1 to...

The M1 manual says that the RJ31X can be supervised by putting a resistor on the orange and blue terminals, then creating a trouble/tamper zone with those wires. However the M1 rules also contain "Whenever Telephone Line Fault Trouble Is Detected Then". If one is using the rule, is there any...

Forgive the possible newbie misunderstanding... I've just installed an Elk M1 for the first time. I notice that I'm unable to arm it in "stay" mode while interior zones are violated. I'm able to modify the zones to make them force-armable, but this seems kind of redundant, and seems to defeat...
