I haven't received any traction on the Freenas forums....they aren't as friendly as here either  :(   Here is my post over there...   https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/amazon-echo-ha-bridge-running-in-jail-udp-port-cant-be-found-on-local-network.40512/   But in a nutshell, I created a...

I lost the phone capabilities for a 2nd time on my Elk M1 after a Lightning storm. All functions correctly, except the phone dialing out for reporting and auto answer functionality. I have multiple surgesupression in the system, so I'm  not sure why this happened....again.   Since I have an...

Currently I have a single internet provider, but because of bandwidth limitations and and increase in charges for overages, I need to have a 2nd provider to give me enough bandwidth. Currently, my network is a single domain range 192.168.1.0-255, mixed wireless and wired. My gateway is my...

I have a vrusb primary z-wave controller that I am using with Leviton's rf toolkit, it works pretty well adding switches, but when I try to add secondary controllers (GE 45600, intermatic ha07, and an intermatic ca5500) they come up as unknown component, and won't work as a controller. Any...

I have been using a 1-wire system (6-channel hub with a couple of 1-wire networks attached) to monitor temperatures around my house, hot tub, HVAC,.... The system had been installed on my WHS server and was running using the logtemp software, plotting and writing the data to an mySQL database...

I have been integrating my Z-wave light control with Elk. Many of the rules have been going smoothly, but I am having trouble getting my head around a specific rule. My outside lights come on a Sunset. I want them to turn off at 4hrs after sunset, unless, the alarm is set. If the alarm is set...

I have built my Z-wave network, and tested the VRC0P with hyperterminal. Then I added my M1XSP (which I flashed to the latest 20.0.4). I then connect the VRC0P and rebooted the Elk. What happens next? Should the nodes available show up in Elk RP? or... This my first attempt with this and I...

We are into q4, does anyone know when this will ship, and the pricing? Thanks, Rob

I have a Kwikset deadbolt, and I have read the threads about primary controllers, but is there a list available of primary controllers that work with the lock protocol? I am planning on using a VRC0P (new version) to do most of control thru Premise, I just want to get a cheap easy to use...

I have my Elk setup using Contact-ID, and it manages to call the monitoring station for openings, closings, alarms,...but it doesn't place the test calls. I set up the Systems RC panel, but must be missing something. Any ideas?

I have an m1DBH at my main panel, I currently have one run of the data bus hub in the garage going to an M1XOVR and would like to add a keypad in the garage. How do I wire this, I assume they need to be in series with a return? I just haven't got my head around it. thanks, Rob

I'm looking to get the voice output of the elk to come thru on my intercom. I have a M&S DMC1 and have several extra stations, one of which that has a broken speaker. I want to "Monitor" this station and replace the microphone (the speaker) with the output of the elk. This way the voice commands...

I have removed my Honeywell Vista 20P and replaced it with an Elk M1. I have wired the new panel and started to test the sensors. The Doors and Windows all work as expected. I am having trouble with the GE Glass Break sensors. They are receiving 13.5V from Vaux. When I make a loud noise, clap my...

I have been setting up my Elk M1 system. So far, I have one keypad connected, can connect with ElkRP over serial port. I then connected a M1XIN 16-zone expander to the RS-485 bus, address 2. I would get 3blinks on the board led. I switched to address 3 and got 5 blinks. When I try to enroll...

I don't know if any of you remember this an interesting keychain alternative that was talked about in late 2007. 3 years later, they ironed out the kinks, lowered the price, and I received my about a month ago. It is compact, and works very well. Take a look at the review I have written...

If add a RFID reader to my Elk, is it possible to use the RFID chip in my car keys (Dodge) to identify myself? Or are they a completely different format? Has anybody tried this? Cheers, Rob

Hi there, Are there any Control4 dealers here, that have the inside scoop on pricing and availability of the new Kwikset Z-wave deadbolts? Thanks, Rob

I've been using LogTemp to gather my 1-wire data, and am very satisfied with it to this point. I noticed that the developer, just added xAP capabilities, and I wanted to see how people use xAP (or if they use it). There seems to be listings and links to an xAP desktop for windows on the...

Not exactly, but close. I was doing some reading on the Microsoft.com site and came across the "SPARK your imagination" page. Basically, if your buy the embedded platform from one of the 5 or 6 qualifying vendors, Microsoft will give you a full copy of Visual Studio 2005 Professional, Windows...
