Is there a known issue when using the Elk Counters as timers and decreasing the value every second? There's an old post here (http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/16687-counters-timers/?p=140463) where @wuench says "As mentioned above you don't want to use counters as timers, you want to use...

Quoting with Tapatalk doesn’t work for me on iOS. I get an error. Anyone else? Is there a fix? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an Elk M1 with two-way wireless for security and other hardwired sensors including smoke and heat detectors. I'm considering adding another wireless protocol to my system (GE/Interlogix or Honeywell) which would basically be for some home automation purposes, not security or safety at...

I have a system sensor COSMOD2W that connects my COSMO 2 wire smoke/CO detectors to my Elk. I would like to add a heat detector to the garage and have it interconnected for tandem ring so that an alarm in the garage will cause all the smokes to go into audible alarm. I haven’t researched this...

Hi Cocooners, I’m going to add some motorized/automated gate openers. In addition to 120V, I’m planning to run some wires in conduits for gate opener signaling and other low-voltage needs (TBD but likely low current draw). LV and HV will have separate buried conduits. What’s the best wire to...

Heads up to those with reboot troubles and the M1XEP powered with VAUX output Like others, I’ve been experiencing random reboots of the m1. Recently I cleaned up some of my wiring and decided to ditch the wall wart for the M1XEP and instead power it from the vaux output on the panel after...

Hello,   I am remodeling my master bathroom and planning to add electric in-floor heat.  I'm looking at 110 or 220v systems.  Probably not water based systems since the area isn't that big and it's going to be supplemental comfort rather than primary heating.     Does anyone have experience with...

Hello Cocooners,   Not sure if this has been posted here, but I just read this and thought I would share.  Here's a link to a recent WSJ article discussing hijacked cameras being used in denial-of-service attacks.     ...

So I’ve been confused on the details of adding a supplementary power supply.  As I’ve been exploring this and searching the forums I think I found most of my answers, but I would greatly appreciate if the community can chime in and give me a sanity check.   I ran the ELK power consumption...

Hello,   I'll jump right to it - i think my question might be - is there a way to tweak the "Fast On" function for a scene?  As I understand it, "Fast On" turns any devices in the scene to 100%, so it's messing with my fan speeds.  I've searched and haven't been able to find a related situation...

Hi this is my first post but I've been reading for a while. I recently did a new install of an M1 in an existing house. I ran some new hardwired zones and keypads and I'm using some elk two way wireless sensors. Thanks to everyone on these forms for the help so far. Safe to say I think I have...
