Finally managed to find some time and nut this out.  Ended up loading a blank account into the M1 and slowly adding various parts of the config until I notice the issue re-occur.   Turns out the problem was in the "Globals" G29-G42 (Special) tab.  Somehow "Two-Way Listen-in Enable" was selected...

Thanks for your ideas, they are some things I hadn't thought of.   Creating a fresh account and re-importing the the M1 config didnt show any diff.   Creating a fresh account in another DB I had then reimporting then re-sending didnt help   Creating a fresh account with only a user and the...

Phantom rule or ghost within the m1?   Got a strange situation and was wondering if anyone had struck it or had a solution to fixing it.   A long time ago I ran the power for my M1EXP via a relay on an M1RB and wrote some rules to operate the output so the n/c connections would open for 10 sec...

Why not just put a read relay next to the garage door motor, connect it to a zone, set the zone to fast trip (or what ever it is) Then write a rule that disarms the system providing the motor zone is tripped b4 the door zone?

Good find

I recently tried to use the PLC functionality in this module and discovered some problems. Below is what I had to do to fix them The lines and modules I changed on my installation were /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/ElkM1/Control/Message/PLCStatusReply.pm line 68 < 'PLCStatusReply...

Sorry but it's a fail for me. The surround is too large compared to the screen size, heck it looks like it belongs in a kids toybox. Maybe I'm getting old but a screen that size is a joke, bump it up to 5" and reduce the surround size, square it up so it looks modern and you may tempt me.

Been looking around but cant seem to find a way to change the color scheme, I find the washed out look quite a strain on my eyes.

If it is your own custom web page you are wanting to expand, a simple perl program using the module discussed at [How-To] Control an Elk M1 via External Perl Scripting, ElkM1::Control Provides an Elegant API to the M1 Gold works great for me.

whoops my bad, I really should read the post b4 replying. I got caught with the situation described on Elk's page.

This doesn't work, have a read of this at elk. It should be broken down into two rules eg WHENEVER (some event occurs) AND TIME OF DAY IS LATER THAN 5:00 PM THEN (execute the rule steps) WHENEVER (some event occurs) AND TIME OF DAY IS EARLIER THAN 7:30 AM THEN (execute the rule steps)

I'm waiting for the CrunchPad to launch and be reviewed, word is it'll be around US$300, even looks like I could mount it with velcro as we have solid brick walls down here

Thanks very informative and not too long. I watched a couple of others re custom drivers at the site also, they filled in some of the blanks I must have missed in the other Damon vids.

Thanks heaps, that was it. I'm going to make up a label and stick it on the battery inside the can.

I must be missing something basic, because no matter what I try I am unable to get the M1 to even try to connect via the ethernet. The M1 was just flashed to 5.1.14, the M1XEP is at 1.2.14, but it doesnt matter what I try, even following the example in the ELK-M1 RS232 nothing is ever sent, I...
