    I have some door/window sensors that work fine. I have a M1XRFEG installed in my attic. Since I have the motion on the main floor, I decided to install a second M1XRFEG on the main floor. Not sure if I have it setup correct, but I am not seeing a difference. I have it enrolled and I can see...

    Elk Navigation panel worth the money?

    I still have one location that needs a keypad/panel.   Is the Elk Naviation panels worth the money? I do have an old Android tablet I could mount to the wall and run from WIFI? I could access my ISY, which would access the ELK?   Thoughts on this?

    Upgrading old DCS to Elk system - some questions

    The new Elk panel will be in the basement, the old DCS is in the upstairs bedroom.   I was able to pull down and mark all the wiring to the basement.  The wiring is not long enough will need to extend it.
