    4 wire smoke connection with ELK M1 gold

    Not an expert. But, any particular reason you need 4 wire smokes? Much of what I read suggests it’s extra headache without much benefit for typical residential installs. Also the diagram appears to show 2 wire. I’m using a System Sensor COSMOD2W with COSMO2W CO and smoke detectors. The setup...

    ELK M1 Lighting - WiFi?

    I can’t speak specifically to WiFi lighting as there are many different devices and manufacturers. I don’t use any. But if you have an Elk, have you looked into an ISY? It allows control of network devices which could work for WiFi. I’m using my ISY from Universal Devices which integrates...

    New alarm system from Elk Products

    I can’t comment on specifics and maybe this falls short in some areas but I’m encouraged that Elk is making new products... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do you check status of an output on ELK?

    Must be a shortcoming of ElkRP itself. The ISY admin console interface will show them real time. Can’t remember if you use the ISY or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alarm Relay TG-1 Express Sunset

    You can call them and see if they have a discount on their new cellular BAT (assuming you are upgrading from their current t offering?). Writing from memory - I have Verizon which I think has longer runway on 3G but am currently using the cellular ”BAT” they sell. I called about an upgrade but...

    Best Mid-Price Bluetooth Speakers

    Have you tried looking for a stereo speaker that has left and right channels in a single unit and you could use 2 of them? I’ve not heard of something like what you’re looking for. You could try a Bluetooth receiver module and then build your own I suppose... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple M1DBH wiring

    Okay but if I understand you’re adding sensors. Those don’t go on the bus. An M1XIN (input expander) would go on the bus and you connect sensors to that. What am I missing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are you worried about the Coronavirus?

    Just heard the Minnesota Department of Health with the CDC is going door to door to conduct random Covid tests. WTF? No thanks. I pray for the souls of the unfortunate people that have to conduct these tests if they ever become mandatory. Won’t happen here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Facial Recognition

    Larry when read through this I understood some concern about real-time facial recognition which my point was simply that that’s a different animal than a static photo where people are looking and smiling at a close camera. I don’t claim to know the details but presumably doing real time facial...

    Multiple M1DBH wiring

    Wondering what the topology / system looks like here. You mention you may need maybe 3 hubs (implying > 18 devices on the bus) yet the wire distances are short. Just curious what is all connected to the data bus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Facial Recognition

    Facial recognition on photos is not the same as real time video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Email alerts by C1M1?

    The C1M1 is really a professional product as I understand and has limited DIY functionality. Search here and you’ll see others have had problems getting it setup. Use the M1XEP for Ethernet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Questions on ELK-6022

    I think you need to enroll each “loop” separately. Double check the instructions closely. Edit: also seeing that 3ft is a UL requirement in the instructions. But if you don’t need UL burglary certification it should still work within reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    constant "conflicts found" message when connecting with ElkRP software

    Rock on!! Glad I could help and give back as so many have helped me here. For me, since sorta by definition I’m not using disabled rules I end up deleting them so I’ll know if there’s a real error. If you have them in RP for reference / testing, once you’re done you can print the rules to...

    constant "conflicts found" message when connecting with ElkRP software

    Do you have any disabled rules? Disabled rules are stored in RP but they aren’t stored in the panel. So you will always see that conflict if you have disabled rules. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are you worried about the Coronavirus?

    One could always cut the cable and get news from here! Or other sources LOL. But seriously cutting the cable years ago has been good for my mental and physical health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are you worried about the Coronavirus?

        Huh?  Eh?     I think I just made internet history.  Rather than needing to show that Snopes can be wrong and biased, you actually posted a link to Snopes that proves my point.     Maybe my post was hard to comprehend for some, or perhaps the Snopes article was too long for you to read? ...

    Are you worried about the Coronavirus?

    Fauci and others lied to us saying we don’t need to wear masks back around March. When asked in a recent interview why he changed his guidance he basically said - if we asked you to wear masks back then you all would have bought the N95 masks. If you think back the narrative was basically - you...

    ELK M1 Random System Starup

    I’d check the logs in ElkRP. Do you see anything happen right before the reboot that could be an issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
