A number of years back, I had an HAI Omni 2 that I replaced with the ELK M1G because of the modular expansion and easy to use rules support that the ELK offered. The ELK has worked fine for me but I do miss one capability that the Omni 2 provided regarding managing the smoke detectors.    I have...

I am planning to equip a new house that I am building with Z Wave.  I have Insteon in my present house but decided to move to Z Wave in my next house to get access to a broader device list and gain the ability to test lock states, garage door states, etc.   One rather large issue I am running...

Over the last two days, I upgraded 3 of my systems to Win 10.  While there were a few surprises, most of the issues were related to settings not being transferred from my prior Win 8.1 operating systems.  However, I have run into one issue that I have yet to figure out.  Since the upgrade, ELKRP...

I have an M1 temp sensor mounted in my weather station to monitor the heater under the rain collector to avoid freeze up and damage to the collector(it is in a weather protected area). My wire run is about 150 ft from the ELK. The first 100ft is Cat5e and runs from the M1G to the opposite end...

Just over two months ago, I installed an ELK temp sensor in my outdoor weather station enclosure to monitor temperature inside the enclosure. The unit well protected from the weather. The enclosure has a 25 watt heater in it which turns on at 35F outdoor temp and goes off at 45F and is used to...

I installed an ISY994i to integrate my Insteon lighting automation into my ELK M1G and use ELK rules to control my lighting. To do that involved exporting a file created by the ISY and importing it to the ELK. The imported file overwrites the X10 lighting entries in the ELK lighting table...

This past weekend, I installed an ISY994i/Insteon 2413s kit to integrate my Insteon network with my ELK to allow me to control my Insteon network using my ELK. I had previously used HouseLinc to control my Insteon network but I wanted to consolidate my Insteon with my ELK and to control both my...

The M1G can send temp sensor values to the keypad, but sadly, it cannot send it as an email which would be highly useful to provide temp readings when you are away. While temp sensors can be tested for a given value, and a rule can then send a fixed email, this does not provide real temp info...

I just purchased a M1G an I have most of it completed but I am experiencing one issue that I either I am missing something or something is going on. I have two input zone expanders, two keypads, and an output relay board, and the internet interface. I have completed installing most items...
