I wasn't familiar with Premise either. However I had it up and doing what I wanted in the same amount, or maybe even less time than I put in trying to send a string from the Elk. So far as the other post I referenced, it is at elkproducts.com M1 support forum, near the bottom of the second page.

I posted where I ended up on Elk products support forum under a post titled "ascii to ip help". I would paste a link here, but for some reason I've yet to figure out, I can't paste anything into the forum. The long short story is what you have already found. The Elk outputs tcp. I was going to...

And when dealing with any other issue with them one of the first questions / requests are, "are you running the latest firmware." I experienced my issues with a very basic setup (anything interfaced is through a standard ELK product and their firmware.) and it was no big deal for me to roll back...

If it's that much of a problem, why not use the "area disarmed" announcement. If it's not heard, it isn't.

I've been very happy with the optex dual sensor type. (pir/microwave) The have quite a wide range of units. Mine point towards tree that get blown during storms, and but for the windiest days, false positives are rare. Mine are over 5 years old, and with a quick scan of their site, I didn't see...

You might want to try rolling back the firmware. I started having some unexpected results after recently upgrading. Just rolled back last night so a bit early to pronounce the issues resolved. However they initially came to light after upgrading.

Thanks for the pointer. I was looking for a separate download for each version.

OK, so maybe I'm not going nuts. In the process of trying to get the control to send ascii text commands to a foscam camera, I went ahead and upgraded all device firmware prior to starting threads on here as well as the Elk forum. Since that time I had one notification of my garage motion being...

OK, so if I get any insight from Elk, I'll post back. It sure would be nice to use a set of rules to pan to the location a sensor became unsecure, and take a picture.

I've used mine to switch zone types to accommodate our needs. Garage entry is one. We use a key fob to open and close the garage along with arming options. If the fob is used to open the garage, I change the interior door from the garage to an entry delay using three outputs to switch the zones...

Okay I give. I am resurrecting this thread as it covers what I want to do. Trigger a string to a foscam 9821. I have been on a google binge of various threads many of which have the sprinkler example from the elk rs-232 protocol manual, av gear variations etc., but most threads end without...

It seems that centralites jetstream is not mentioned here as much as some of the other options. What I can tell you is it was a simple install. Easy to program. Plays nice with my M1. And their support and service has been good. I've had it installed for right at two years now, with the only...

Actually I am not "afraid" nor a "holdout". I'm not what I would even consider a fan of WM. I'm an engineer and my phone is just another tool for me. And "if it ain't broke don't fix it" works for me. When I purchased the TP2 because it was to be able to run RMS, and it was the only game in town...

Hi All, So my TP2 is getting a bit long in the tooth. The touch screen has some dead spots and it has to be re-flashed every quarter or so as it just gets flakey. As my provider has a windows phone or win7 phone available I checked with Elk to see if RMS will run on the updated platform and...

Maybe you could use an output to place a slight delay prior to area 2 disarm? Something along the lines of: When area 1 is disarmed then turn on output 100 for 3 seconds When output 100 turns off disarm area 2 Just a thought that came to mind when I read this. I use outputs to create sequential...

Well I noticed the same thing on my Fios about a week ago. After a lot of hair pulling, I configured the XEP for my AOL account, and it works fine. So my guess is verizon is cracking down and now considers the XEP as a server, threat, or something. Just a guess, but other than email addy and...

Hey Philip, I have the same setup and am able to email. I do use the IP address for verizon's server in the XEP's settings page. (206.46.232.12) Remember email 1 is used for the ELK "test" email. You may however want to check out this link if you have a westell router. I had to return to an...

I belive this is what you are looking for. http://www.centralite.com/products/JetStream/Lampmodule.asp Since the lamp modules handle only 300w, I have considered using a regular jetstream switch mounted in a quad box with a duplex plug for higher draws. If it will be rule operated, then once...

OK, Since no one is biting on the RA, I can tell you I have been using jetstream for about 10 months now I guess. I set it up, and it just works. No headaches, no problems. There are several threads on button pressure / design, but I haven't missed presses anymore than I missed on a regular...

I use the ELK and a RCS TR-40. I allow the thermostat to run the daily setpoints, and have the Elk setback the temp. and place the thermo on hold at that setback when armed away. Upon disarming the unit is returned to it's run mode. If it is a scorching day out, I have the option of using RMS...
