I have an Interlogic door sensor (GE part # 60-688-95) that I cannot enroll in the Elk. I have other GE (either CADDX or Interlogic) sensors that have been going great and easy to setup. I have an M1XRF2G and it states this sensor should work. On the side there is what I think is the TX ID...

I have been using Elk w/ Nextalarm for a few years without problem.  My last reported events was this past summer.  No events since then to report until 2 recent alarms (false burglar and false smoke).  Both of those resulted in no reported events to Nextalarm.  No changes have been made to...

I have two SA 240 switches that no longer connect to the network but work just fine at the switch. I have CQC adjust my lighting and recently I noticed they no longer did what they were suppose to. I tried to connect to them through UPStart but they can't be found. I tried to re-add them and...

I have a friend who just bought a newly built house and wants to install a security system instead of going with the ADT types. He has no interest in a home automation system but does want the ability to access it from the internet (him and his wife have iphones). I priced out a Elk EZ 8...

I just got the ABN, connected it, tested it, got the alarm call immediately on my cell phone. Everything works the way it is intended. My problem is calling into the Elk. I call the number, enter my secret numbers, rings twice like I have the Elk set up to do so, then it just clicks 2-3 times...

Been trying to get my IRA3 working and after trial and error found that CQC won't recognize the IRA 3 if its over a long distance. My setup will have the IRA3 at about 55ft from the PC, however CQC will not see it. I emailed the company and they claim 100 ft capability. Anyone using this over...

I just got an IRA-3 and I am connecting it through CAT 5e to the wiring closet where CQC is running. I got the DB9-RJ45 adapter to terminate the cat 5e then to the serial port on the server. I thought I knew where to place the pins in the adapter but I was wrong. Anyone know what the proper...

My parents are thinking of getting this system for both sets of grandparents for Xmas. The information Life Alert sent them has no prices. I looked online and found some parts I do not like...Poor support, 3 year contract, $300 setup fee and $60/mth. If they should die before 3 years, you're...

Hi all...frustration has set in and I cannot figure this out. I am gonna see if someone here can most likely point out the obvious. I just got a 3805 off Ebay and it seems to work just fine. I want to serially connect to CQC but I cannot get it going. Here's what I tried. 1. I first...

I have decided on UPB over Z wave and would like to get started installing them soon. I only want to get a few to start so I can learn about them before I buy more. My goals are the same as everyone else but my big goal is to improve the WAF. Currently there is no WAF...she could care less...

I have been using the 8870 for about a year and now that winter is coming I need to get this fixed. Everything works automation wise...through the Elk and CQC. My problem comes down to basic TStat wiring. I have a 2 zone house with a Boiler, AC and air handler unit. I used page 19 of the...

I have not been utilizing my Aprilaire as much as I should given how much it all cost. So, I started to play around with some rules so automate the AC (and eventually heating). So, I want to first change the running of the AC depending on day or night and for each zone (I have 2, upstairs...

I read a post before about having two different phone numbers w/ different ring tones and having digital voice mail and the Elk. I have searched up and down for the post and cannot find it. My phone co. has a service w/ one phone line and 3 different phone numbers each w/ a different ring...

Unfortunately, I am unable to power my 8870's using the Tstat wire so I had to go the 8818 route. Waiting a week, it finally came today only to find out there was no power supply for it. My question is, do I need the 8027 24V transformer or can I run it off something else (Elk?) or can I buy...

I think I know this answer but I am hoping things have changed since I reviewed past posts. Can these be used w/ the Elk? All my doors and windows are wireless ADT contacts (and serve their purpose now) but I want to be able to incoorporate it into more automation. I really do not want to...

At one time I saw a video on Cybermanor.com where they used a intranet web page to contain all the family information...addresses, calendar, recipes, bookmarks, plus other useful possibilities. This can be accessed from the internet where changes are seen in real time. Does anyone use such a...
