I currently have a Yale smart lock integrated into my Elk M1 for the last 4 years with no issues and works great. Now I need to select another smart lock and controller for my brother-in-law who is disabled and living in a condo.  I don't want to install an Elk in his condo just to get Yale...

We are getting ready to do a master bath remodel and while I would never have thought I wanted a tv in the bathroom but we are going to put one in.  I want it to also be a touch screen for CQC so will probably get a large touch screen monitor and small mini computer or raspberry PI with a TV...

We had a huge wind storm and knocked out power for about 18 hours.  Afterwards I can no longer connect to the M1XEP either directly via serial port or over the network.   I also have CQC and the driver cannot connect.  I have checked all the network cables and switches and swapped ports with no...

I have had my M1 working flawlessly for over 5 years and have finally decided to get it monitored but just checked my log which  I never do because it just works and noticed every time I disarm the alarm or bypass a zone I also get a DURESS event logged.   Is this normal?  i would think that...

Well my two year old Yale Z-wave Lock quit working a week or so ago.  It has worked flawlessly up until then.  The warranty is 1 year but when I contacted Yale support to see how /if it could be repaired they said they will replace the entire lock free of charge!  So this is just a Kudos to...

I am trying to create a day based rule ie do something only on certain days of the week (weekdays) and then another rule to do a slightly different thing on the weekends. However, since ELK doesn't explicitly have a day based rule how are other folks doing this?

I have an ELK M1 and just bought a ELK WSV water shutoff valve. I am going to use output 3 on my M1 to drive the valve but in the manual it says that you can also moniter the valve status by connecting the 4th green wire to a zone input. Can I just directly attach the green wire to a +...

I need a z-wave controlled in-wall receptacle and I have a Vizia RF+ system connected to my ELK using the VRZCOP RS 232 interface with excellant results. I was wondering if anyone has used one of these http://www.automatedoutlet.com/Home/Recept.../CWD-RF9505-T-X in a vizia RF+ setup and if so...

I have a rule in the M1 that whenever the alarm trips it calls my cell phone. It is not monitored yet with a CS. I noticed the other day when I was testing it that the internal speaker alarm would initally go off when I tripped the alarm but once the rule fired and the line was seized to call...
