I have about 85 UPB switches installed in my house, and have never had great luck with a few of them that are farthest away from the PIM. I have had a HAI UPB phase coupler installed, and get decent signal strength on both phases (45-60 on phase 1, and 6-14 on phase 2). I decided to plop down...

So my alarm would not arm today, saying that a zone was violated. After doing some troubleshooting, I figured out that the powered contacts (motions, glass breaks) were only getting 6.5 volts from the Elk-624. The jumper was still set to 12V, and I have not touched my system for months. I...

My parents set the alarm off today, after which I was promptly notified by NextAlarm, and received my E-mail on my phone. I called my dad, who had just dropped my kids off at school, so he went back to the house. He checked the door that he went out (Laundry Door), and it was locked. I looked...

Dell is getting into the Android tablet market with the launch of the Dell Streak: http://app.dellhome.usa.dell.com/enroll/mo...S1AAWU-4NUSU-v1 No info on pricing, specs, or much else yet, and it seems rather small, but it might be an interesting option for a remote.

Since the last time I updated this iPad mount list, Cocoontech has published a much more extensive list that you should check out. The official Cocoontech iPad Mount list can be found here: http://www.cocoontec...le-ipad-mounts/ I'll add my personal opinion to the end of this thread, but it...

My wife got a new suv recently, that has a swing out rear door, rather than a tilt-up hatch style. From personal experience, I know it is very easy to forget that your rear door is open when you close the garage door, and you end up with a nice big scratch on your car. My fear with her swing...

I was scanning through the Automated Outlet site today, and saw this: http://www.automatedoutlet.com/Home/Elk-Add-ons/ELK-MT100 There is no mention of this on the Elk website. Is it a new product? It looks pretty similar to their original temp sensor, but without the RJ45 dongle sticking...

OK, this would be sweet! http://www.break.com/index/secret-knock-lock.html

We are looking to replace out ADT access control system which is starting to show signs of age. We have 8 doors to control, and are looking for a system that is designed for physical access control (door schedules, automatic unlock and lock, reporting). I've considered using an Elk, but it...

My dad's house has an Ademco Vista-10se panel, and does not have an outside sounder. He has one inside sounder; ADT RX7C (12v, 150mz). He wants me to add an external sounder for him, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. It looks like there can't be more than 600ma combined...

Well, I know the basic answer to this is yes, assuming that I have it set up as a regular keypad. Here is what I want to do. My garage doors are currently connected to relays/outputs on the Elk, and I can operate them via F keys from other keypads. I want to put a KPAS around the side of the...

I am trying to determine if using the Rain8 controllers is the right way for me to go, now that I am finally getting around to installing my irrigation system. In the past, I have used standard sprinkler timers that you purchase at Home Depot, and these have been pretty rock solid. I would...

In a lot of threads recently, I have noticed that many of you are using the Aprilaire Distribution Panel to hook up more than one 8870 to the protocol adapter. While the Distribution Panel is necessary for those situations where you cannot get power to your thermostat from your HVAC equipment...

I just saw this on the web: There's no veil of secrecy covering this one, but Western Digital has finally come clean with the industry's first 2TB internal hard drive. Launched today in the USA, the planet's highest capacity single HDD -- otherwise known as the 2TB Caviar Green ($299...

I have a Leviton Phone Distribution Panel, and was going to hook up my M1 to the Security port. The Leviton manual shows how to loop your incoming lines through their IDCs, but they do not show how to wire the RJ45 where the security panel plugs into. I have tried my incoming line ring/tip on...

I'm not sure if someone already posted this (I searched, and could not find a post), but it looks like Elk has updated their website! http://www.elkproducts.com It is a HUGE improvement over the old one! Spanky, tell your developers that they did a great job!

I just got this in my mailbox, and thought there might be a few who were interested. I have been looking for a 1TB drive for a while, and they never seem to drop below $149. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...RCCODE=WEM1716C

UPDATE: I tried to edit the poll, and it erased all fo the responses. So I created a new poll, with more choices, and hardware systems too. If you voted on the original one, please vote again. If your software or hardware system is not listed, please select Other. I realize that there are...

So, I am trying to get a DM ECO4 set up to be viewed on a TS07 through Elk RM. I can't seem to get the settings right...the TS07 says connecting, then could not connect. Here are my settings: camera type: Dedicated Micros(Digital Sprite 2) IP Address: http://192.168.2.11 Port: 80 username...
