I have M1RB relay board (http://nesscorporation.com//InstallationManual/101-213_M1RB_manual.pdf)   Can I control the relays using Raspberry Pi instead of M1?

Alarm - Elk m1 Gold was working OK for almost 7 years.   Last night I finally had to change the battery - no issues, but the "low battery" warning on the keypads did not go away   Today alarm shut itself down during the day and now I cannot power it back on. >>AC power LED is on. Status LED is...

Folks, looking for your advice. 1. I want to control 26 individual LED lights with Elk M1G. What relays / boards / config do I need? 2. Is it possible to program a "minute" variable to trigger an action at the same time every hour, at e.g. When it is 20 min past every hour an Output X will...

Hi A quick - and hopefully simple question: I want to be able to send out different email notifications depending on which zone triggered the alarm (e.g. email 1 if it's kitchen, email 2 - if it's a study, etc). I only have 1 Area and 13 zones in total. When I have the following rule, it...

Hi I have a new M1G install + XEP, etc. Everything is working fine after a bit of tweaking, except for XEP: the bugger just won't send any emails! I tried the XEP troubleshooting utlity: it said everything is OK, but when I click on the button "Send test email" it just poped up with a blank...

Hi I have a new M1G install and trying to record custom sounds (e.g. dog barking) and short snipets of music. Have installation manual (with lots of blury screenshots), but could not find a way of doing it. Is it possible? How? Thanks heaps c.

Folks Quick question - I need to connect M1RB board with 8 relays, M1XOVR board (with even more relays), 3 keypads and presumably a M1DBH databus hub to a M1G panel. What is the best way of doing it? - e.g. 1. Connect M1RB to J16 (or should I hook it to M1XOVR?) 2. Connect M1DBH to the 4...

A quick and perhaps a silly question: can I use relays (e.g. http://www.ness.com.au/ViewProduct.asp?ProductNumber=101-196 or: http://elkproducts.com/products/elk-9200.htm) to selectively break 240V electric circuits? E.g. if I wire a heavy duty relay into each circuit in parallel with a...

A simple question related to UPB wiring: - for 2-way switches do I need to use UPB devices on each end or can I have UPB on one side and a matching "regular" 240v switch on the other end? Also - I presume that when wiring for 2-way UPB switches you won't need a "strap" between them? thanks

Has anyone come across these types of security wire: 7.02 4core, 14.02 4 core, etc: http://eshop.ctccommunications.com.au/Cable-c-326.html How does this relate to 18/4, 22/4 etc types that are commonly being discussed? thanks

Are there any door contacts and outdoor motion sensors that we are recommended for use with Elk M1 - or can I get anything that fits the description from the corner shop? Strangely, Elk itself does not seem to sell any sensors of their own (at least I could not find it). Thanks heaps

We are looking to control the door strike both through the Elk M1G and a video intercom (AIPhone JF-series standard system, video station at the front door and 2 internal colour monitors) I found a diagram with Elk-924 relay (connected to output 7) controlling the strike, and then a mention of...

We've got our building designs approved and the fun is about to start. Working through the caveats however, we discovered a clause about flood protection. to cut the story short we'll have to install a moisture/water detector that will trigger a sliding gate to close. What is the best way to...

Has anyone tried to control the HVAC using CoolMaster kit from xdimax.com? It seems to be fairly straightforward and it looks like that you only need to run one serial cable from M1 panel to the CoolMaster box (which in turn plugs directly into HVAC bus). Q1: How easily can the actual commands...

Does anyone know what UPB switches are available in Australia (i.e. 240V models, etc) and who/where sells them thanks heaps

I'm looking to use Elk M1 to control distributed audio (nothing too complicated - e.g. 2 sources and 2 zones) and use M1 touch screens to drive it. All the music is on a Thecus network storage unit that has DLNA server and iTunes server running. NuVo and a few others claim that they can fully...

This may be stretching it a bit perhaps, however - Is it possible to control window sliding shutters (or blinds) using M1 only (i.e. without Clipsal, etc)? Cheers.

I'm leaning towards M1 for my next home automation project but cannot get sufficient details around what can (and can't) be done for the lights control using M1 only. Depending on who I talk to, the views are that M1 can either "do everything" or that Clipsal/Dynalite/etc is required to control...
