Since they dropped support for their plugin in homeseer, I'm considering something else.

XEP V2 Firmware is out. Works like a charm.    http://elkdevelopment.easyfishmarketing.com/getxepv2   (Work with gmail & 2-factor using a dedicated app password)

I've had my ted5000 installed for a few months now. I replaced the original ted1000 thinking that they were using a stronger signal in the 5000. I could not get the 1000 to sniff out a signal even with a sole circuit enabled - I figured my unit went bad. The 5000 seems no better. I've put X10...

I'm trying to move to a mostly HW based IR control system. The OCELOT is a bit dated, so I decided to go with the Bitwise Pro controller with the project editor software and create macros in hardware for most of the heavy lifting. Gives me a lot better programming experience and gives me more...

Are there any outdoor UPB switches on the market? I've search around and not seen anything. Was hoping there was something like the Intermatic zwave unit.

Hi everyone, looking for some advice for controlling outdoor lighting. We're in the process of building a pool. My entire house is automated with z-wave (40+switches) and controlled via homeseer (and triggered by an Elk M1 for various events). I have used the outdoor zwave switches in the past...

I finally got off my behind and moved my zwave setup from my Elk Zwave controller to homeseer. I'd been have tremendous trouble with the elk zwave unit with a large network (40 nodes). I've written about this in the past. The net is that the elk zwave solution is not really worth the trouble...

I get a "lost transmitter" error message showing up every 5 sec or so on the keypads. Started happening after I upgrade to the latest firmware. I use a 8 device caddix wireless receiver with just two keyfobs on it. The keyfobs still work fine. Any ideas?

How would I program scenes into my elk zwave module using the Z-troller. The z-troller requires that it be the primary controller and it does not support setting up scenes or groups. I've been using my ZTH100 controller to do it up to this point. Would I do it in steps? Ztroller master setup...

<Cross post from Elk forum> I feel very stupid. Is there a way to make a series of messages appear on the screen sequentially, or at least with the same frequency? I have messages that flash reminders, outside temps, HVAC mode, Sprinkler schedule, etc. I am having a very tough time getting all...

I feel very stupid. Is there a way to make a series of messages appear on the screen sequentially, or at least with the same frequency? I have messages that flash reminders, outside temps, HVAC mode, Sprinkler schedule, etc. I am having a very tough time getting all to show. I have played around...

I have a water meter with a pulse output attached to an Omega pulse data logger. Basically I can set intervals over which the data logger counts pulses from the water meter. I can then download to my pc. The part of this that is a pain is that I need to either go out to the water meter to...

Is there an established way to collect Elk sensor data (thermostat temp, probe temp, keypad temp)? I would like to start collecting so I can overlay with energy usage. Ideally I'd like to poll, time stamp, and stuff into a DB.

This may be the wrong forum, though it could be considered tangentially related to HA.... I would like a way to continuously log energy usage for my entire house. I do this today with my water meter, but have not found a DIY accessible power meter. Any ideas? Also, anyone have some good tips...

Guys, I just wanted to let all the people thinking about future hardware purchases know that the Elk zwave interface is not finished. It's fairly buggy at this point with no roadmap to get better. This could be a function of Homepro devices however, every other zwave controller (controlthink...

When I posted before, I was hoping I was wrong. We really need more. 50 would be good =)

Wow, are there really only 20 custom settings on the M1G? This seems like a good way to communicate basic operations parameters via another system - like Sprinkler settings, Home/away temps, etc. Am I missing something? With MainLobby I can read/write to custom variables and 20 is not enough...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution for controlling Hunter Douglas shades via IR. I was going to try to do something with an IR blaster (high powered) in each room - but am stumped on how to bridge to IR using the M1. I will probably end up using a text message from...

I've been beating my head against the wall with a few issues. Since there is no diagnostic software for Zwave, fixing this problem seems pretty much out of my reach right now. I was hoping someone with much more experience with Zwave than I have might be able to help. (BTW, I have the basics...

Is there a way I can send the temp from a remote M1 temp probe to a TR40 thermostat to simulate its exterior temp sensor? I'd rather not have to run 2 more probes (one for each thermostat). Thanks much for any advice! jacy
