I am finding the app stores descriptions to be extremely vague for all of the different versions of eKeyPad out there.. does anyone have a cheat sheet? For example, I see: eKeyPad ISY - ISY control (I own this one so I know what it does) eKeyPad Alarm - basic M1 control (my assumption...

While not entirely confident.. I was finally able to make some progress and manually assign an address, manually enroll and get it into ElkRP. So fingers crossed...

I am really struggling here and this seems like it shouldn't be this hard! I just have 2 keypads, each which will be home run to the ELK. I am working on a test bench right now and connected each keypad to the DB1HR on its own data bus. I have both keypads terminated with jumpers. I have...

Got it, thank you. So even if I bought a used 6160 I might still not be able to view the event logs? I have debated replacing this system with an Elk for over 5 years but with the inflation over the past couple, I couldn't stomach the cost to do it. I wish I had pulled the trigger prior to...

I just tried taking the voltage across terminals 1 and 2 and got nothing. I am wondering if my transformer went bad on me. Nevermind.. user error. Getting 16-18 there so seems ok. All voltages seem fine. I checked Transformer, Auxiliary and Battery. So it must not be the battery, but I...

I am not 100% positive, no. I did enter the master code change routine (Master + 8 + 02 + New Master + New Master) and it double beeped like it took, so I was hoping that meant it was correct. Pics below. I know the FC code (we stopped monitoring years ago and this always shows now) so I...

I am hoping someone can help me with my 20p system (very, very old!). It has started to beep in the middle of the night when the alarm is set, but by the time we can figure out what is beeping it clears. Sometimes the keypad will produce a long, loud beep, other times multiple beeps seemingly...

Thanks for the thread.  Every time I look at my builder installed Vista-20p board, I notice that the resistors are hanging from the connections at the board and thought that couldn't be right.  Good to see confirmation of it here!  Wonder why the installer even took the time to install them at...

It definitely seems like the Eaton is more bang for the buck but the Leviton just looks more polished.  Since I could care less about the look, its a slam dunk for me on the Eaton units.  

That's a fair point, thanks.  I can't place a single unit in-between the panels, but I can definitely locate a single unit right next to each panel.  Sounds like I will go with the 2 separate ones then!     Any recommendation on the Leviton versus the Eaton?  It seems like they both perform...

Thanks for the info.  I probably misspoke.  I have two main panels in the garage (attached to the house).  These panels are on the inside wall of the garage, and on the outside of the same wall is the meter.  So I am assuming I have the 2 main panels, each sourced to the meter situation.  I also...

I have read quite a bit of documentation but admit that much of it is beyond my technical understanding.  I don't know if I have any issues with grounding in my home, but figured that having the electrician verify/check it out wouldn't hurt while getting the surge protection installed.  I just...

Quick question.. I have been reading through the multiple surge protection threads here, trying to educate myself somewhat on best options out there (whole home suppression). I won't be installing myself as I am not overly confident with panels.  I was going to do something like the Leviton 1...

I have the original Ooma Core system so actually do have free (no quotes for once!) VOIP.   It has been running for about 3 years now, so has definitely paid for itself (I was able to snag a NIB unit off of ebay for a decent price).  I would love to upgrade to the new Telo, but if I did I would...

Not really contributing.. but got a laugh from this review of the product Work2Play linked to:   "Attempting to connect a standard romex or BX,14 gauge electric wire is tantamount to putting 15 people in a porta-potty and asking for change. Multiple cutting, twisting, fitting of wires and...

For what it is worth, I have heard that this company is also pretty strong, though relatively new.  Apparently some people left Synology and started this company.   So it has a lot of the same software functionality of the Synology units.  At any rate, I don't have any personal experience with...

Great, thanks for the ideas, will get to work! 

OK.. got the info.  It is a Niles SI-1230 amp, link below:   http://www.nilesaudio.com/product.php?prodID=SI-1230&recordID=Multichannel%20Power%20Amplifiers&categoryID=System%20Integration%20Amplifiers&prdcdID=FG00737

Thanks for the replies,  I will get the amp info when I get home.  It is a multi-channel amp so no speaker selectors.  Each speaker pair has its own volume knob and goes to a channel on the amp.   I think the amp has enough power, and we rarely have all speakers on (if that even matters, maybe...

Hello All,   I realize that a place like AVS might find more "experts" in this field, but I find that people seem more helpful and responsive here, so I figured it was worth a shot.   We have a whole-house audio system which consists of something like 12 speakers, with 6 distinct volume...
