I was hoping if anyone could help me out with this or if anyone has had anything like this happen to them. About 2 months ago, my M1XEP died after being in service for about 4 years. I contacted Elk, and they said to send it in. I did and i was sent a new one within a couple of days. The...

I've tried setting up a VPN to tunnel into my network with Ekeypad pro, but so far i've been unable to.. i'm usually pretty handy with computers, and figuring out how to connect networks, but this one's got me stumped. I've tried setting it up as LLTP and IPsec, but i'm not having luck with...

so my system with the elk M1XSP and the radioRa integrate seamlessly.. all the lights work perfect.. recently i picked up a in wall master controller with 10 buttons, hoping to use some of them to control states of other things through the m1 + relays.. i see elk lighting zones 177 - 248 can be...

so I just got in a new m1xsp to integrate with my rcs zoned hvac system, but something's not working along the way, so I'm looking for help.. first off, I can connect the rcs to a pc via serial and poll it with A=1 R=1 and it'll respond back (I even used the cable that comes with the m1xsp to...

so I've got all 6 keypads of the concerto mounted in areas that the g/f likes, which in the master bedroom is slightly out of sight of a remote, however she wants to be able to contol it via remote from bed, so I figured I'd mount a ir receiver to the ceiling, which I've done, but now I'm stuck...

so i've been into this home automation thing for about a year now, and while i never have enough money to get all the stuff i want, i'm progressing nicely.. learning as i go along. Cocoontech has been a great help, since it seems like no one else in miami is into home automation.. (well my...

yeah, so i've got my concerto system installed, and it's been great with the t2-tuner listening to radio and all, but honestly, i'd love to be able to run this thing with a music server (a mini-itx server) that i'm currently assembling.. i'm gonna shove a m-audio card in there to have 3 or 4...

i'm looking to install some automated flood lights around the house to replace all the one's that are the "dumb" switch kind, namely cause i'd like the ability to have them all turn on around the house in the event that aliens come to abduct me in the middle of the night... so far, i've...

hi, i'm trying to build a music server, but i'm having some difficulty, seeing as i can't gulp down the price of a russound sms3, and i've been reading they can have some disk problems, and that not many other manufacturers audio servers can handle more than 1 stream at once, i've decided that...

so i've got a spare can mounted up after phone, internet, cable, security hookups.. and it's already installed in drywall and powered.. and i was going to expand on my leviton decora volume controls.. but then i saw...gasp, russound units... and i toured the site, and i thought how awesome is...

so i'm trying to hook up my elk m1's output 3 to control my sprinkler pump ... i've got the relay which is rated at 24VAC 3VA at the coil, and the elk m1's output 3 is rated at 24VAC 4VA .. so it should be able to turn on the pump relay.. i've checked the continuity at the wire, and it's coming...

i've been reading up, and it seems a lot of people know you can't close the door when you mount the XEP in the circuit glides.. most people mount it in another box, but i'd like to keep everything in the 1 14in box the elk came with.. i'm only adding the XEP and an additional 16input zone card...

so i'm looking into changing my sprinkler pump to be controlled by the elk instead of the little switch inside the weatherproof box outside.. so i've got a question.. the sprinkler pump is your normal flotec .. 230VAC @ 9.6A can i use a ELK-924 for the low to high switching for it.. ? namely...

so i've got the rest of this figured out and the zones all work.. i transferred over from an ademco alarm, and all i had to do was swap out the resistors for the zones.. but i added the rj31x box that came with the system, and i'm pretty sure i've got it wired right.. using cat 5e wire...
