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?

Yes, the power supply was fried. Thanks!

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...

@gatchel: - yes, each light needs to be controlled separately - low voltage LED lights, each draws 18mA - I have inherited M1G and it has 8-port relay board (Elk-M1RB), mostly unused. Can I add 3x more boards or do I need to get XOV/XOVR as well? - how can you power LED's off M1, where'how do...

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...

Lavabit + manually hard coded all DNS, etc settings did the job.. hurray!

Read some other posts here and realised that gmail won't work. No SSL!?!. Anyway - my ISP provide unencrypted connection on port 25 and I can telnet intoit without any issues. Will try the GMX next ....

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...

Good point. Are there any solid state relays that are particularly "Elk-friendly"?

Each relay will need to handle between 10-15A I recon. We'll probably end up having a single phase connected to the house which gives a bit over 100A in total.

I was thinking about UPB, but we're looking to use Clipsal push button 240v switches: http://www.clipsal.com.au/trade/products/p...ess_push_button and http://www.clipsal.com/saturn/home There seems to be only one mob in Australia that makes UPB switches/dimmers and they are stupidly expensive...

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

Thanks guys, still perplexing why doesn't AIPHONE like a regular CAT5 wiring...

Cool, thanks mate ;)
