I went back and re read the suspect zone and it's now reading 2.9 Kohm. There in lies the issue I'm having. If I hook everything back up the M1 will say the zone is normal although the voltage will read anywhere from 7.5V to 8V when I have checked. My guess is that it's flucuating all over...

Yes it's 2.2 kohms. When I say 0 I just mean it's not reading anything on the multimeter as if I wasn't touching anything at all. So infinite is what i meant.

Thanks for the quick response. The suspect zone read 2.5 ohms with zone closed and 0 with it open. A known good zone reads 2.2 ohms closed and 0 open. It sounds like the 2.5 is high and I have a bad resistor. What options do you see for this scenario other then opening the wall and replacing...

I have an M1 install at home with 100+ zones hard wired with a resistor at each contact. Things worked great for a couple years but now a few zones randomly open and if the house is armed I get a false alarm. Checking the status of the zone in M1 I see higher then normal voltage on these...

I have a wireless PIR that recently alerted as "low battery" so I changed the battery. The low battery message will not go away on my elk m1. It's been coming up every morning when I disarm the system for the past 3 weeks. How do I get rid of this message? I changed the batteries a second...

About a year ago I setup my elkm1 on Nextalarm for non dispatch monitoring. I didn't have to talk to anyone to get it all setup and it's been working great. The only problem I have is that their website only lets me enter 70 something of my 120+ zones. I decided last month to switch to a paid...

Used SAV for years and last year switched to Trend Micro. We have ~7,000 users and all are local admins so it's tough to stop much. SAV has a fatty client as you said and trend is much better in that regard. I don't see trend as being much better in regards to viruses and it sucks at malware...

oops nevermind i see the "options" button now where I can change it back to the normal view. Seriously though, who would use that default view? It was giving me a headache lol

I'll admit I haven't been here in a little while but how come when I click on a post all I see is the original question and a small list of reply headers below? Having to click on every reply is extremely annoying. What am I doing wrong?

I have the POTS line because I was forced to order it by my telco when I ordered DSL service. I choose to use the POTS vs. vonage for my ELK because it's way more reliable. I understand reliability of vonage is based on the network it runs over and the DSL where i live is only slightly better...

My ELK is currently calling out on a landline from the phone company which is the cheapest line I could order. It's able to call nextalarm when needed but pretty much any other calls are long distance which I'm not paying for on the line. I'd like to have the ELK call my cell phone under...

How many do you need approximately? I have a bunch left over from wiring my house which are no longer needed.

Problem solved. I didn't realize that if you're connected via elk RP that it cannot email out. I disconnected from RP and email triggers worked fine. I'm still unsure why you can send a test message from the XEP while connected with the RP software. Oh well.

I updated the firmware in my XEP over the weekend and finally was able to hit the TEST button in XEP setup and was able to get an email to showup in my inbox. So next I created a rule to send email #1 whenever a specific output changes. I created the rule, sent it to the ELK, and hit the test...

Thanks for the info, I think I found your prior post about this issue. Would you mind sharing your automation rules for your water sensors? I'd be interested to see how you're handling the alarm. Do you use cutoff timer=0? Do you need to enter your code to deactivate the water alarm? Are...

The only caveat is that I have 40+ water sense zones so that would mean 40 individual rules written into the M1G vs. 1 single rule if I can combine all water zones. Can you think of a way to group them without assigning them to water alarm? Thanks, Kyle

I knew I could set it up as "non alarm" but I have some outside motion sensors setup as "non alarm" as well. The problem comes in when I want to create a rule so that whenever any water sensors become not ready that the elk water shutoff valve gets turned on. I'm not sure how to group the...

I have a bunch of water sensors and want them set as "Water Alarm" but I don't want my siren to go off when a water sensor detects water. Can I keep them assigned as water alarm but keep the siren silent?

well duh there's my problem. thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a try this evening. I do have an extra power supply which powers a lot of stuff in my system which was why i figured the panel itself had enough extra juice to run the WSV. As for the extra power supply shown in the diagram... is that an optional...
