Does anyone know how long the wiring harness length can be extended? I'd like to hook up the M1RB to my panel to convert the 8 voltage outputs to relays for use with sprinklers. I'd like to have the M1RB in the garage. I currently have an additional M1OVR+M1RB in the garage but have used up...

Is it possible to wire a sensor in parallel/series to two devices? I'd like an outside gate magnet sensor to trigger ELK as well as my CCTV. I'd rather not have to go through ELK, then waste an ELK relay output to trigger the CCTV.

I'm making the switch from X10 and bought the starter kit which includes the US1-40 dimmer switches and the US2-40 switch. The regular dimmer switch works fine. I can't seem to get the switch to control the local load. Out of the box, is the US2-40 top paddle supposed to control the local...

How can i set off a piezo type siren on a delay with a burgular alarm trigger? I don't want to make my entire family deaf when my wife accidentally triggers a false alarm - with a delay, maybe I can disarm it in time.. I'd still like the outdoor siren and strobe light to go off as usual. thanks..

I hooked up my elk to an existing alarm which had a bell - was wondering what the advantages of bell versus siren were? thanks

I have an ELK M1 Gold and want to hook up the thermostat. I was able to run cat5 to the upstair thermostat. I can not reasonably running a line to the downstair thermostat. What are the options for wireless downstairs? Also - how difficult is changing out the thermostat for an ELK-controlled...

sorry for the duplicate forum posts, but I love this plugin! I think this plugin deserves its own thread. I messed around with demo of CQC and Mainlobby but they were overkill for what I needed to do: make multiple touchpad and computer base control of the ELK. For my limited needs, it...

I think this plugin deserves its own thread. I messed around with demo of CQC and Mainlobby but they were overkill for what I needed to do: make multiple touchpad and computer base control of the ELK. For my limited needs, it did not make any sense to pay that much money. Then drewloch...

is it worth it to by the elk serial expander JUST for the ability to use the W800RF? I have a bunch of wireless X10 motion detector and keypads - many of which don't work correctly because the range sucks. However, I'm not going to the be using the serial expander for anything but the W800RF...

any advice for making rules to strobe/flash my X10 front and foyer lights on/off for certain triggers? thanks

Anyone have the new elk keypad in stock and ready for shipping? Of note - I've been extremely happy with Martin's Automated Outlet as evident by my 6 orders in the last 2 months - however, they did not have the new Keypad in stock yet still charged me the full amount of my order and shipping...

What's the cheapest software solution to interface with the ELK panel (besides ELK-RP) I want something I can control via a web interface. I don't want to purchase the ethernet adapter. thanks

Now I know why people have a love/hate relationship with X10 - it's been working great for me for 2 months.. Suddenly, today, two switches no longer respond. I thought it was the switch so I swapped them out for new ones - still no response. I went around the house unplugging almost every...

I currently have 1 keypad controller, so JP3 is jumpered on the main ELK board. I want to add another keypad to the master bedroom using a pre-exisitng 4-wire cable. When I add the second controller, will I then jumper terminate each of those keypads or will simply jumper terminating JP3 on...

anyway I can set it up so that all messages/chimes are played in the indoor speakers but only certain messages are played to the outdoor speakers? I flipped through the manual, doesn't seem to be a different set of voice speakers output, does there?

Please excuse this stupid question: when you are wiring up elk speakers (for voice annoucements) - how many 8 ohms speakers can you safely wire to output 1? should you wire in parallel or serially? also, could you recommend the proper speaker for outdoor usage? I already have a siren...

Any advice on retrofitting a outdoor fountain switch? Basically it looks like a big outdoor whether-proof switch - I'm sure it has the usual ground/load/line wires. What are my options for hooking this up to X10? Are there any outdoor X10 siwtches? thanks

Is the a way to force the ELK to trigger an alarm? eventually I will buy the wireless CADDX adapter and a wireless FOB - however, I am currently using X10 wireless FOB. I want to set a rule: WHEN A10 (wireless X10 trigger) is ON THEN trigger BURGULAR ALARM - I want to do this as a...

Via lcoal/call-in phone, I somehow have my ELK stuck in remote programming mode. It's no longer providing me with voice prompts for password, press 1 for alarm status etc. Instead, I see in the log that whenever I press ***, I've entered 1363 "remote programming mode" instead of remote...

Has the lirght/dark outside "bug" after reset been fixed? None of my light/dark rules are working so I presume, no? i am completely uptodate with firmware 4.3.12 and elkrp 1.68. this bug is pretty annoying.
