All, I think I need a fresh install. For all these years I left the ISY unattended as all was working. Then sometimes I spend a day or two to get everything back up to speed. But the last years I did not work on it as I manged everything out of Home Assistant. Dont get me wrong - it still runs...

Guys, I recently lost all my information from the hard drive. I reinstalled Windows and ElkERP and had hoped that I can import from the M1G. But it is asking me to create a new account and I do not want to start from scratch. Any suggestions?

When I buy a single Smoke/Heat detector with 4 wires I should be able to hook it up to ELK M1 straight without any relays - right? Just connect the data wire to Zone INPUT and NEG and the power wires to +SAUX and NEG. I think I need an EOL2200 ohm as well - correct?  Reading up on this I was...

All, I am in process to buy a UPS system to gracefully shut down my Security Camera server if there are longer power outages. The system does not need much and I have settled for the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.   I am concerned about some reports of these UPS' overheating and potentially starting a...

I like to pick up this older post as I have a similar situation. The back door does not have a keypad in sight and we always use this door to let the dogs out. I like to run a wire to the door (simple) to display a green/red representation of the armed status. A few questions.    jpmargis...

Sticking to Win 7 - thanks everyone for your input!

Thanks LarrylLix - I keep hearing these stories too.  BTW - upgrade is still open here! No one is sure for how long.

I am not concerned about the ELK performance, its all about the Blue Iris performance. The machine is brand new. Its a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 - Core i7 (Intel Core i7-6700) 3.4GHz - 8GB RAM. So no worry here at all. My cameras record all on 24% of CPU. Its just that Windows 10 offers a graphics...

Guys, I have recently changed over to a dedicated Windows 7 machine to run Blue Iris for my cameras. I want to be able to get more hardware acceleration out of the machine if I ever need it.    I am wondering if it is safe now to upgrade. I updated the firmware for the M1G and M1XEP.    Hard...

  I started out 4 years ago and had the same questions. In the last four years my needs have changed and I was happy that I spend a few bucks to run PVC. I actually ran 3/4" and I am happy that I did because now I have additional alarm cable in there now plus two Cat 5's. You will later come up...

@DelInstallations - as always you are right on the money. In the beginning when we had no house on the property I looked at the Dakota wireless for that reason. Ones we build the house and I went the ELK/ISY route I decided to go with the simple Dakota driveway monitor and tied this probe into...

Hello everyone! I have a new riddle that I need to solve. We have a large property (6.5 acres) with a lot of trees and we often are in the back where it is more secluded. I installed a powerful WiFi antenna that pretty much covers the entire property and gives relative solid connection to the...

:pray:   Works! Thanks!

BSR, I just got the RIBXG in the mail and tried it on various loads (lamp, compressor, etc) by hooking it around the cable and securing it with the wire clamp. Then I hooked up the potentiometer and tried to measure OHM and or CONNECTIVITY (beeper). No change in state when I switched on the...

Hey Guys! I have a water well house that this 300 to 400 ft away from the house. The power pole is located between the house and the water well. A single 4 conductor line with 2 phases goes out to the well. A few weeks ago i noticed that the pressure tank was water logged. I noticed this by...

Nice Valentines gift - my wife is happy.   There are still a few sensors and most camera's missing in this picture. Still working on it. What I like is that she has EVERYTHING on the one page that she is interested in. Overall status is in the bottom right, if its not green then she can quickly...

Works well! Thanks a bunch!

Final Question -  I followed your advice and wired in another M1XOVR in the garage to drive outputs. From a system perspective I am all good. I tried it by driving a little piezzo as a beeper for the shop area. I also tested the Elk-120 and all works there too. Except when driving the Elk-120...

Thank you all for your replies. The thread started to stray off into a philosophical question for a moment but was not intended by me. drvnbysound caught this and got it back to where I wanted to go. Thanks!    I full hearty agree that automation is more than just an app. But this is not "yet"...

drvnbysound -- I read up more on the eKeypad and it seems it represents everything that I want. Just a few question as you seem to be happy with it. 1) the website says that eKeypad Pro includes everything, even the blue print model. But on the App Store I get confused as I see eKeypad Pro for...
