Are you saying if I don't remember the database password, I can install ElkRp on another PC (for a fresh copy) and connect to the panel via Ethernet with the RP Code and create a new database. Then somehow download the panel info into the new database. Since this is a home install, do I...
Originally, on trying to start, Elk RP told me the ops.mdb and controls.mdb files were missing and gave me a dialog box to locate them, with the default location being C:\Program Files\ElkRP. I found the backup files and moved them to that folder and tried to restart ELK RP. ElkRP seems to...
I have an Elk M1, which I use along with CQC in my home automation system. Recently the Elk driver for CQC went offline and I tried to connect with ElkRP but was told required files were missing and got a dialog to locate ops.mdb and control.mdb. These files were not in the C:\Program...
I also have the Intellitouch and the PC interface (ScreenLogic) with a protocol adapter which puts the Intellitouch on the home ethernet network so you can run the ScreenLogic program on a PC on the network. My pool guy thought it should have a web interface but cannot seem to figure this out...
I have a LiteJet48 and a LiteJet24 for 72 loads. I love mine as well. I have them tied into my CQC system so I can set control loads/scenes from touchscreen interfaces as well as get a status of all loads at a glance. I can also cause loads or scenes to activate based on event logic from...
So you can't do a rule like WHENEVER Back Door Zone is VIOLATED THEN "say custom phrase 1" on output1 (ELK speaker) 3 times? However that would be programmed. And leave the chime from the keypads on.
The thought is that most folks quickly start to ignore the little chime from the keypads when any door is opened and so it isn't considered sufficient protection for doors that access the pool.
I am very new to the ELK and was looking thru the manuals and did not find specific instructions on...
I want to have the ELK make an announcement over the standard ELK speaker when any of the outside doors to the pool area are opened. I can set the chime feature to sound when the door is opened, but that is not consider enough of a notice to avoid having to install those big ugly door alarms on...
Unfortunately, it isn't clear to me just how the Elk LV output is wired to the garage door opener. Is it in parallel with the wires coming from the regular wall control to the opener (if these are low voltage)? When I asked the builder about it he said that the electician would have had to...
How do you implement having a output open the garage door? I would like to be able to close (or open) the garage doors via automation. The doors are installed and we wired for a security sensor to tell if they are closed or not. We have not installed the openers yet. There is wiring in the...
I spoke with tech support for Balboa about their Poolux to ask if it supported connection to a home automation system. I specifically asked about RS-232. The answer was that they did not support communications via RS-232 and so I asked if this meant they didn't interface with any home...
There have been issues with ZP 5.X and CQC so the recommendation I have seen is to use the older version. That one is not easily found on the website, but can be found elsewhere (don't remember where at the moment).
I just got back from my meeting with the pool builder and he had very recently had the Balboa folks come demo the Poolux to him and he is very excited about it (he told us about it, I did not have to ask). He believes it to be very comparably priced with Pentair and Jandy.
Their system also...
If you will use a touchscreen type device that needs RDP, then don't get XP/Home as it does not support it. Xp/Pro and Xp/MCE both do and Vista/business and Vista/Ultimate do as well.
That looks very cool, but unfortunately is not available in Texas :P . We are going to meet with our pool builder today to work on finalizing the details. They offer both pentair and jandy, but have no experience connecting to a home automation system. They tend to push pentair because of...
If you buy both the iTC15 kit to use ScreenLogic on a desktop PC and the ilink home automation adapter, can they be used at the same time?
The iTC15 (and many of the other personality kits) come with the protocol interface adapter and a wireless router. If you already have a wireless router...
I am interested in using this ilink to connect to CQC. I know that CQC already has a Jandy driver, but the Pentair warrenty and other energy saving and control features look really good. To use the Jandy HA interface does any special equipment / software need to be purchased besides the...
We installed a LJ 48 and a LJ24. We planned to tie them together by hooking each system to the security/automation panel. We got the equipment before we found out that the security panel can only talk to one centralite system (The installer was told by Centralite that this was doable before we...
I sopke with one of their sales guys recently to get info on the power requirements and was told that in a few weeks they were releasing a version that you could connect directly to house power (had the power convertor built in) versus the current model that comes with a DC adapter (which you...
