Hey grogs, where is there documention for the ElkM1 User attributes? I've read the manual. could well have missed it. why? I've found that the 'Master' attribute changes how one arms the keypad & via Home Assistant. A quick search here wasn't helpful. and again I could have muffed that.

That looks like the one. Thanks @electron for pointing the stick at that thing. One would think a little box combining just aux jacks and the transmitter/receiver bit would be a viable product. aside: one of the reasons I am thinking of this 2-way stuff is the dongles with arming state. I'm...

Hi folks, I'm planning on installing a 2nd elk system in our 2nd home/cabin. Our first Elk was installed in our proper home during an extensive remodel about a decade ago; I'm sure I posted more often then! I integrated the Elk with our Vantage lighting and a mess of Axis smart cameras via a...

I would say that using the Elk M1 Integration inside Home Assistant (HA) isn't a programmer intensive task. In the sense that there isn't a lot of actual programming involved. caveat: I am probably at the 'unconscious competence' state of this kind of thing. I loaded it into my HA, and...

It looks like this senseless decision ("HTTPS is a bit of a joke") didn't make the cutover. good.

good point - yes I mean it restarts. The system switches to voice mode and starts counting off zone status. my family finds it annoying while in their zoom calls.   interesting about the loop. my exterior motion detectors may have gotten into a loop with the lighting control, even tho it was...

What are the types of things which would cause our M1 to do a reset on it's own?   it's on a house circuit w/other computer equipment, but has its own APC UPS. Behind the UPS is the M1 and an expansion case, each with its own battery and power supply.   the other equipment didn't trip, nor did...

is there a reason this site doesn't use https?   it seems to of been down / unavailable to me for a few weeks, and just now when I gave it a shot it was back up.   doing a password reset w/out https is sort of dorky.

FWIW we're fans of the iON devices, working well where we've deployed them

and I could use a couple of those keypads :)

hmm, still funky. I would like them to come back

good luck

Public Libraries are now starting to host 'maker spaces' - including 3d printers.   you may be able to find what you want on ThingVerse and just take ( or email ) the file to your local library.

it would have to be a speaker-level mixer tho, right? unless you know how to get line level out and then to one's own amp! if you do let us know

From reading the installation instructions it appears that these units can't be used in conjunction with the existing audio output from an M1.   Am I missing something?
