I am looking to add some solenoid valves to an irrigation system - wires are no possible due to the large distances and I was thinking that wireless solar powered solenoid valves wold be the solution.  A search so far has not yielded anything so I am here to ask the guru's   Has anyone seen or...

I have an M1 with an XEP connected to m LAN.  CQC monitors the panel as part of my HA setup.   I have noticed over the last couple of years that when the panel goes into alarm that the XEP drops off the network.   This is not a CQC issue - this has been confirmed by pinging the panel and setting...

Since the forum changed over to a new format, I can not find where I can view all new posts from my last visit. I use this feature exclusively with all the forums I read and I really miss it here. Can someone show me where I find this feature - I am sure it is here and I just can;t see it...

Hi all My battery has gone low and the system is reporting Low Battery at the keypads. How do I stop the freaking thing from beeping at me. I have pressed the * button, entered my code but it is still beeping - its driving us nuts please help Mick

Hi guys I want to add a 10 turn pot to the M1 to record the position of a rotational device (lets say garage door for the example as we are all familiar with garage doors) So I attach the pot to the door shaft that turns as the door goes up and down. From that I want to get the exact position...

I want to put a camera at the front door and then when someone presses the doorbell the camera captures the current image and then sends it to my mobile. Is there anyway that this can be achieved. Thanks Mick

Can i ask that the great guys and gals from ELK entertain the idea of adding the ability to read the values of counters externally. I am led to believe that you cant at the moment, but being able to read them would be great. (I want to use and display them in CQC) Thanks Mick

I want to use the M1 to ramp the area group in a C-Bus install to 0% but Rp wont allow it. I have tried setting it to off, but that does not turn all the lights off as desired. SO next I thought I would try turning it on to a level of 0% with a ramp rate of 1 or 2 to see if I could get the...

Now that the M1 wireless receiver is out I have come across an issue that I think could have some potential. This all came about when a mate put in a small garage in his back yard and wanted to add it to his security system. We added a wireless receiver and put in a radio PIR, but then there...

Hi all I have two M1 KP2's. They were at different firmware version last week and I had one that would turn off its LED's after 60's of inactivity (older firmware), but the newer firmware versioned on would stay lit constantly. I have since upgraded the older one to the same version (current...

Hey all This is all in relation to an M1 I am not sure how to configure the garage door reed switch. The wife will put the kids in the car and back out of the garage, thus the garage door is open. While this is happening I am still inside locking up etc. On the way out to the garage I want...

I have two areas set up on my system at home, one is the shed and the other is the main house. The echo speaker is obviously connected to the main board - which is in the house. The shed is connected by an underground cable run and has zone input expanders there for all the inputs that I need...

Is there a way to get the M1 to measure external voltages (it will only read resistances at the moment)? It would appear that the M1 supplies the 12V to the circuit and then measures the return voltage. Is there any way that the 12V that is supplied can be removed from the zone (by pulling a...

I have an M1 and an ethernet module and a C-Bus module. How do I connect them? My understanding is that the ethernet module plugs into the com port on the PCB. I am also under the impression that the C-bus interface also prefers to plug intot he com port on the PCB. Both modules have a male...

Dont have an M1 yet, so excuse the question if it is simple or obvious. Is it possible to get a GSM modem for the M1 to send out SMS on events, and similarly trigger actions upon receipt of a specifically structured message. if so how would it be connected

Hi all I am looking into an ELK (NESS here in Aus) and I want to know how well it perfoems on digital input. I have a power meter that has a pulsed output for KHhr and hence its frequency can change. Also I have a roller door controller that has outputs to indicate if its travelling up or...
