So I have some minimal experience with Visual Studio and VB.net. I have started creating a voice recognition app. I want it to be a home controlling app. It currently can poll data from my Davis Weather Station. I can ask "What is the temperature outside?" or "Tell me the temperature...

So, i bought a 1240. Installed it today. Went to the link on the documentation and it is not working. After navigating brultech's site, there are a lot of broken links. What do I need to get started? The etherport config software and the dashboard right? Anyone have a installer they could...

I have an RCS TR60 connected to my elk via databus. Here is an example of the problem: Current temperature is 67 degrees. Current heat set point is 66. I log onto the elk management webpage. I change the heat set point to 65. Within 30 seconds, the heating unit will start to run. What is...

Well, i installed ted 5000 on its own circuit. I tested for about 1 month and it crippled the reliability of my insteon lighting. I flipped off the circuit for ted and voila, insteon back to 100%. Is there anyway to isolate the two?

Is there anywhere to check to see/download firmware updates to a RCS TR60?

Does elk monitor the status of insteon lights or does it just know enough to turn them off and on? Sometimes it will report things on that are off and vise versa. I have an ISY99 connected.

I bought an ABN to use with my elk m1. I hooked everything up and no go. It would occasionally communicate with Nextalarm, but more often then not Elk would say communication failure. I spent an hour on the phone with a tech, and nothing worked. I eventually plugged the cable modem straight...

I just got my ABN in for Nextalarm monitoring. I am slightly confused...i have no household phones. No wiring for house phones either. Thats why i got the abn. I dont know how to hookup the RJ31X jack. I assume i still have to use that to get the elk to use a phone line, but how do i...

So i got the doorbell detector hooked up to a zone in my Elk m1. It works because i can turn on chime and press the doorbell and here the chime. I tried a rule in elk: whenever zone 17 (doorbell) becomes not secure, then speak doorbell detect. It never speaks. Anyone?

I bought one of these water sensors: http://www.smarthome.com/7115X/Extra-Water...toff-Kit/p.aspx How do I add this to a zone to detect if there is water? I know its just 2 wires to connect, but do i need a resistor? Also, in ElkRP, how do i configure that zone? thanks

Can the Elk m1 read the status of your boards, such as temp or humidity?

I have an Elk m1 gold with the ethernet module. is there anything else i need to use the nextalarm service? i see the ABN talked about, but i am not sure if i need it. Also, where in ElkRP do you setup NextAlarm?

How can I record a custom message from my pc onto the elk m1 miscellaneous voice slots? I really dont want to buy an additional board.

I have a dehumidifier and it has a bucket full light on it. I would like to have the elk monitor it and report when it is full. Is there a light sensor I can use on an elk zone or is there another way to do it?

I want to make a rule that only happens if the time is after 7:30am and before 5:00 pm. how can i do this in the elk m1?

I would to send about 4 emails per event. I assume you can only enter 1 email address into the XEP setup screen. Is there another way to do this in rules?

So what is the status on sending email through SSL ports? can it be done? I cant get gmail to work. I then tried comcast which uses port 587 and I cant get it to work either? how are you guys sending emails?

Ok, so in my rush to wire my house, I accidentally ran a 2 lead wire instead of 4 to a motion detector. So, I have the 2 wires for the signal, but no power. Any ideas how I could get this working or is it a lost cause?

How do you guys setup your areas and zones? I am not sure what an "area" should be. I have it as my whole house now. I doubt that is correct.

Well, i realized a mistake in my planning today. I went to attach the magnets to the windows, but if I put it on I cant close the window. I attached two pictures showing the window. They fold inward but are flush with the frame when closing. If i put a magnet on the side of the window it...
