    ElkM1 system - low battery

    Thank you Ral, The error of the low battery has gone away. However I still have an error of "serial expander trouble". I have the serial expander with the firmware for the zwave controller. Since I started to move some of the zwave switches to a different controller (home assistant) I am now...

    ElkM1 system - low battery

    I have an Elk M1 system. Been in operation since 2008. Recently I keep getting a "low battery" warning. I replace the backup battery, and the only other battery item in the system is a door lock. Replaced those batteries also. Still get the warning. What else would cause the warning? Is there a...

    Elk M1G and Z-wave - how (current availability)?

    When I built my sons house 17 years ago I set them up with the ElkM1 Gold. Also all Z-Wave lighting and door locks (3500 sqft - now 500 sqft with the basement finished). Along with that I used CQC for automation. The Elk does have the VRCOP for the interface via serial. In all the automations...

    I have an extra 6160 (non RF) I could let go for a reasonable price if you decide to go that way. I just replaced my old Networx unit with a 20P.

    Reset Caddx NX8E

    Thank you for your time in finding those links. I am going to work on it today. I don't think buying an LCD keypad with what I have, not knowing if it will make a difference, is beneficial. If I can't figure it out with what I have I will probably just opt to replace with a Vista 20 or something...

    Reset Caddx NX8E

    Nothing I did would make it connect. A problem is that the keyboard I have is just led lights - no screen - so is really difficult to program. I finally reset it to factory default but now need to see if I can find time to reprogram it. I cant decide if it would be worth spending the money to...

    Reset Caddx NX8E

    Thanks for the links. I work on it today. What is frustrating is I have had it connected to my CQC system for years, and yet using the same serial configurations, it will not connect via DL900.

    Reset Caddx NX8E

    I know this is a long shot but thought I would try. 40 years ago I Installed an NX8E. It still has the original keypad. For years now I have really only used it for motion detection for my home automation. I am now redoing that also so thought it would be a good time to see if I can resurrect...

    Yeah, not happening here. Everything is enabled. If I hold down the button I can issue commands and they work. However nothing responds from the wake word. I push the button and the solid blue light comes on. Here is the log: s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner: starting s6-rc: info...

    Let me correct that some. If I use the button then it will control devices via voice. However the awake will not work.

    So I have it connected to HA. Forgot that I didn't need to connect to the device AP when using ESPHome. Now trying to get assist to work. Then in watching a youtube video Smart Home Junkie said that you have to use https:// in order to use local control. Is that what you have found? Do you use...

    Pete, When you connected the Atom for the first time and connected to its AP, what address did you use to connect to it. For most ESP32 it is 192.168.4.1 but that isnt working with this.
