I recently had a notification from my monitoring company that "Protection Loop Trouble: Carbon Monoxide Down". In looking into it, I had an entirely different message in the Elk log: 1137 = FLASH MEMORY ERROR TROUBLE I could not find anything on this at all, are there any recommended...

This one seems a little odd: I have an Elk M1 Gold, in addition to wired sensors I am using a GE-Caddx receiver. For one door I am using one of these wireless sensors (NX-458): GE NX-458 @ AO What I had seen was that it would occasionally trip, when there was no change to the door. I have...

Hello all. Quick question I was not able to find the answer to in the forums: I have an Insteon inlinelinc controlling some book shelf lighting. That is linked to a key on a KeypadLinc (not the main load of course). I have the lights go on via Elk Rules at night. The Insteon lighting is...

I recently had to replace two windows due to leaks and improper installation originally. I had drilled them to put recessed wireless sensors in them. I replaced them with Anderson 400 Double Hung windows. Anderson 400 Window These seem to be able to support the mounted wireless sensors, except...

I got an email on this and sure enough I was able to place an order.

I realized the other day that my current multi-room setup (a Harmon Kardon proprietary setup from an AVR 525 and using their 8 channel amp and keypads) will eventually break (may not be for awhile but eventually it will die). Unfortunately I did not wire this in an ideal fashion and was...

I got my usb over ethernet extension, I figured for the hd box that is currently local to the box I would use my current component video distribution setup. The one thing I realized was I am using optical to the reciever from the PC. I had originally done that to get full surround sound, which...

I love the idea about tying Jukeboxes into Sage via tuner cards and have been working on moving my Sage machine to the basement where the rest of the equipment is. My problem is I'm going to run out of PCI slots. I have two fios boxes using two 150mce's now and had to put a network card in as...

I finally got around to updating sage to 6.2 and SageMC to the latest version. Everything works great, except for one thing which I haven't been able to figure out: Previously, under videos I had content that might be laid out like this Title A --Disk 1 ----INTERNAL1 --Disk 2 ----INTERNAL2...

I was curious if anyone had seen issues with Sage Live TV and extenders. I spent some time over at the sage forums but havent been able to find anything as of yet. I had some people staying with us and they are using a bedroom that has an extender that has not really been used much. They also...

I picked up a Samsung 32" LCD (LN-3253H I believe was the model) and found something I did not expect: I use IR recievers (Xantech 291-10) in the remote rooms, connected to a 4 zone Xantech IR system and the feedback light is on constantly but only when the TV is on. If I shield the eye by...

Anyone have experience with this?: https://www.audioauthority.com/window.php?p=showFoto&adresFoto=files/products/9870family100[1].jpg&tytylStrony=1x2 Cat 5 HDTV Signal Distribution System - Model 9870: 9870 Family They don't make it easy to link to their site. I was originally going to run 5...

Well I decided to try out NextAlarm and the ABN for my Elk. I got it setup, it has an IP address, it seems to be registered (there is a note on the next alarm site, and if I put a handset into it, it says it is registered). I do not get a phone fault with it connected to the elk, but it does...

I finally did a check with my insurance company (Amica) on discounts for leak detection systems (I had my eye on the new Elk offering) and figured that would be a lock and be the perfect 'justification' for additional Elk work. Surprisingly, they offer no discount for any such systems. I wasn't...

I installed another ELK-106055 External Prox reader into my other KP2 keypad. Works great. It got me thinking about my garage door opener. Since I am going to have a fob/card, can I get another one and mount it by the garage door so that when it recieves a valid entry I can trigger the relay for...

An interesting update: Awhile back I was using MCE and was testing the use of XBox 360's as an extender. I had issues with it not working properly and video freezing. I did not try any games on it and was using a wired connection. I moved on, and tried Sage (also wanting to be able to integrate...

I originally had a problem where my insteon control stopped working after a power outage. At the time it was noted that since I had the elk power into a UPS as well, the powerlinc failed but the elk did not know so it did not know to reset it. Well I changed that so the elk is plugged into a...

A four conductor wire splice was either never included in my thermostat package, or I have since misplaced it. I have reached out to HAI, but I was curious if anyone knew of a standard part that would replace it in case I have problems getting it from HAI. It seems to be a standard connector. I...

Well I just added an elk external prox sensor to a Kp2 installation. It is pretty cool. I think this was noted when it was first announced, but a prox-sensor friendly recessed back plate would be ideal. I got it in but I did need to make some modifications to the box. The sensor wound up being...

As an initial update, I had original experienced occasional stuttering when playing back hard drive based media with Sage. I added Theatertek and changed the renderer in Sage and the issue seems to have been resolved. I'm posting this in case it may help someone experiencing similar issues.
