Subject says it all. I can control everything else but not the alarm functions. Earlier in this thread, about 5 years ago, a comment was made about the access checkbox in ElkRp. Mine has never been checked. I've got to be missing something simple.

Anyone using this new 2 way stuff from Elk? Any comments on how well it works and reliability?

The new touchscreen installed fine and appears to be working without issue until it has been on for a while. Overnight the touch screen stops responding. It still reports status changes but none of the buttons can be pressed. It's just locked up. I'm running the most recent version of the...

In preparation for the release of eK Blueprint do you have any recommendation for a source of blueprint software where I can create my own?

Looked around the Elk site and didn't see anything on whether or not ElkRP2 is now working with Windows 7 64 bit systems. Anyone know the answer?

My RC2000 refuses to turn off the A/C when the setpoint is reached. A quick example would be a setpoint of 77 and it won't turn off until the temp reads 75. This has nothing to do the minimum run times since they have been reset to much lower values than the default. Oddly enough if I change the...

I have quite a few HAI 35A00-1 dimmer switches that perform very well except for one minor problem. I've programmed the double tap bottom rocker action to fade at a much longer rate than the defaut fade rate. The switches when double tapped all fade at the default rate and will not honor the...

I'm trying to locate a keyfob transmitter and wireless receiver for the M1 that has a reasonable range of 50-100 feet where I can push a button on the fob and actuate something on the Elk. I've looked on the Elk site and noticed a couple of receivers but I don't know squat about crystal, non...

Can the Elk receive a link command from a UPB device and act on the link? I setup a test link in Upstart that does nothing and a corresponding rule in Elk RP that looks for device ID and then turns on some lights. Is there some trick to get this to work or is it even possible? It appears Elk...

Having trouble getting the Elk to recognize the HAI RC2000 stat. The message on the keypad is "not enabled". Not sure exactly what that means but I am connecting it to a serial expander with an a address of 2. It enrolled okay but I have noticed something different from my other expanders. The...

I just bought some UPB modules to start my upgrade from x-10. To get a feel for how well they work I setup a test environment with Elk/CQC/eKeypad. I setup a network using UpStart and the signal is excellent and there is virtually no noise. From Upstart everything works great and exactly as...

I've been looking around for information on using an RC1000 with the M1G and there seems to be a lot of data none of which is conclusive as to whether this is supported or not. I also read that Elk was adding Omnistat2 support but there was no mention of which firmware or ElkRP version would be...

I am getting ready to make the leap from x-10 to something else. Trying to figure out what that something else will be is harder than I anticipated. At the moment I am looking at Zwave and UPB and trying to make a decision. After looking around at the different manufacturers I am having trouble...

When pressing a function key on the keypad there are 4 beeps. Is this configurable and if so where? I don't mind a single beep to confirm a function key press but 4 is a bit much.

I've never used an alarm panel but am familiar with automation panels. My M1 is setup for no alarm zones - every input zone is "no alarm". I'd still like to enter a user code at the keypad to arm the system when exiting the house and enter a code when I return to disarm the panel. When I attempt...

Just got an Elk M1G and coming from a Stargate this bugger is different. I realized this panel had a bunch of alarm features and my goal is to use none of them. I want to use the zone inputs in a HA capacity to monitor switch closures only of an unsupervised nature. Some will be NC and some NO...

Is anyone using a dual graphics card setup with a normal monitor as the primary display and a touch screen as the secondary display? I can adjust the resolution independently on mine but for some reason I only get a full screen on the secondary when the monitors are set to the same resolution...

To control X-10 directly from a PC I would normally choose a powerlinc. Is there a equivalent device that uses USB instead of a serial port. Seems like there are if I was using Insteon. Will the Insteon device work with X-10?

I've had a Stargate for almost 10 years and while it has performed moderately well it continues to develop new issues almost every month. I really not impressed with its stability and want to replace it with somehting else. I've looked at all the usual suspects like HAI, Elk, Homevision, Adicon...

Has anyone done any comparisons between CQC and Mainlobby for HA use? I need to control a JDS Stargate and both of these programs allow the user to build pretty slick GUI's. I know ML has a plugin to HS that in turn can control Stargate but this seems kind of a round about way of doing things...
