Hey Spanky, In another topic you said this: I have tried this and my M1 does not say anything other than "beep beep" out of the keypad whenever I trigger a wireless sensor. I have tried changing the walk test chime mode from beep to beep/voice and to voice but it never says anything out loud...

Hey Guys, I added an Elk M1 Gold to my home about a year ago and changed out my phone system at the same time. Ever since, I have had callers randomly telling me that my phone "beeps 3 times" and then sometimes it disconnects them, and sometimes waits until I pick up and say hello. I have heard...

Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions for making the Elk databus wireless? I have a remote location that I would like to install an 8 relay panel in and tie it to the main elk. It would be easiest to have the elk databus available at the remote station, but running a wire to it is a problem...

Hey Guys, I have read the documentation for the Elk M1 serial port protocol located here: http://www.elkproducts.com/pdf/ELK-M1_RS232_PROTOCOL.pdf I would like to write a small application that interfaces to the serial port on the Elk and am wondering if anyone else has created anything like...

I know that on the Elk Keypads I can use F1-F4 to control various events. Is there anyway to use the number keys to trigger events as well? I would like to add a second keypad for HA, not arm/disarm. - jason

Hey Guys, This is kind of a follow up to a previous question. I am looking to control a 1 HP motor (13.8 amps), and have decided that I will for sure use the Elk M1 to do it. Elk sells the following relay modules: http://www.elkproducts.com/products/elk-912.htm These modules are rated at 10...

Do you guys think that an Insteon On/Off module can handle a 1 HP motor reliably? I have heard that they are not so good at the highly inductive loads, so I am looking for any advice. If you think it is too much, then are there any safe relay modules that you can recommend? Also, I have an Elk...

Last night at about midnight my Elk M1 keypad started beeping at me, and the loudspeaker said something unintelligible about "keypad number 1 missing". I couldn't make the beeping stop until I turned the Elk off and back on again. This was clearly frustrating, but my bigger concern is what...

Hey guys, I searched to forum and could not find the answer to this. Forgive me if it is a repeat question. I am using ElkRP to program my Elk. I want to turn the burgler alarm siren down to its lowest volume. In ElkRP I go to Globals, click on the tab called "Output 1". From here I can set...

Hey Guys, I am going to put an Elk M1 Gold in my house. I would like to verify that what I think is what you guys know. I have the following system requirements: 1.) Home security is requirement #1 2.) Wireless sensors 3.) PC communications 4.) Expandible GPIO (non security related, state I/O...

Hey guys, What are some of the normally accepted ways to get lots of I/O into your HA server? I'm looking for both contact closures and analog inputs. Lets say 50 contact closures and 10 analog inputs, but I'm flexible (and I suppose 48 and 8 would be much more "powers of 2'ish"). I prefer a...
