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...

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?

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...

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...

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?

I installed my ELK-WSV and ran 18 awg 4 conductor wire to the M1G panel. I wired up the red, black, and white wires per the instructions that came with the WSV to the relay OUT 3 on the panel. I wrote an automation rule to turn on OUT 3 whenever any of my water sensor zones become not ready...

I have two of the M1DBH's in my elk setup. Last night I tried to enroll a second keypad which is connected to the second DBH and it could not be found. The address is set to #2. I then put it on my first DBH and the enrollment worked fine. I put it back on the second DBH and it lost comms...

Disclaimer - I've never done some of this stuff before so if you see me doing something wrong please tell me. I'm an IT guy by trade so pulling wires has been the only part I'm really comfortable with in this project. The rest of the knowledge comes from you fine folks and other forums. The...

Okay i'm putting in my first security system and wiring up some glass breaks. The sentrol 5820A-W has 4 contacts on it. 2 are called "loop" and the other two are positive and negative. The directions are absolutely no help in understanding which wires should be hooked to where. My guess is...

I'm building a new house and almost ready to drywall. Local codes require 120V smokes w/battery backup interconnected so that when one alarms they all alarm. Right now we're up to 17 smoke alarm locations and after reading the manual for the smokes it says I can only have a maximum of 12...

i'm looking for wireless water sensors for use with my M1 Gold. Has anyone used such devices successfully with their ELK? If so what did you use? I've found GE/Caddx model # 60-744-95R online but the instructions say it's only compatible with "Simon, Concord, Concord Express, Quik Bridge Loop...

Does anyone know of a website where I can purchase gray 3/8" magnetic window/door contacts. I see a lot of White and Brown sensors sold but no gray. Our windows are kind of a grayish color and the wife isn't diggin the white colored sensors. Thanks, Kyle
