Hi, Just to be clear, can you list exactly what you have Elk wise, how you have it configured and what not for the Z-wave support? I also own an Elk M1G and have been following the Z-wave setup with this appliance for some time. I also use ControlThink as my primary remote for my Leviton...

Cheapest is dependant on what you own. Have a laptop already that runs XP, Vista or Windows 7? Get Think Essentials and the bundled USB adapter together for much less than a stand alone programmer. Depending on your needs you may find that the Pro version is not needed. I've the less...

iPhone, for specific features using the built-in ipod functions does give the appearance of a multi-tasking device, but that same functionality is not availble to all your applications. You need to hit the home button and then relaunch the app. However, this can be added with updates in...

No worries, it's just that your understanding is a miss-understanding. :D The assist is just to rapidly locate the GPS sats and then allow the phone, or in this case, the iPad to use a much lower power mode of communicating with those GPS sats. It does have a GPS radio, but it is...

Sorry, Not to nitpick, but I had to come back and clarify a point on "Assisted GPS". First, as pointed out, it is only available on the 3G model, the Wi-Fi only edition doesn't have this feature. The cool thing is that while the 3G model does cost more, you don't need to pay for a data plan...

Without a complete and detailed list, I'll give you a possible idea on what you'd need. 1. Elk M1G (I really recommend it over the EZ8) and this is available in several packages. The one I used when I upgraded from an older Caddx NX8E was: ELK-M1GKS - This is the complete package sans a CAN...

I too would also be extremely interested in an ISYz product.

I've an Elk M1G setup that I'm wondering about. I'd like to ask your opinions and either leave it where it is or make some changes but at a larger expense. The home has a fully attached Garage where the hot water, furnace, power panel and home network center all are located. It has two...

Been away for a little while, sorry for the late reply. The USB stick is not used by the Elk control at all. What it does do is provide you a way to setup your Z-wave network with the stick as a "primary" control. If you already own a portable primary remote, then it's redundant. But...

An alternative to the remote is possible for much cheaper, if you have an easily portable computer like a laptop. I use the ControlThink Think Essentials application. See http://www.controlthink.com/thinkessentials/ I use the Think Essentials, not the Professional Edition, and I'm able to...

I imagine that you'll know shortly before it's available for purchase. I'm sure that Elk knows, as so do many other vendors, the result of spilling the beans way to early. Google the Osborne Computer demise if you are not aware of what happens when information about a future product is...

I was browsing the Elk website and see that the M1XSP 20.0.4 firmware update for serial Vizia-RF+ support is now officially released! 10/28/2008

I'll continue to use Incandencents until the other technologies mature. Part of that maturation is to ensure that the health affects are mostly postive. Several of the CFL's are detrimental to my families health due to epilepsy. The 60Hz cycle of florescants, and less costly CFL's lead to...

Yep, this is correct! Not only do you receive one input per keypad, you also have one output. With the appropriate relay module attached, you can use this to control a door strike, garage door operation, etc. The only "keypad" to not have a zone input/output is the small decora sized...

Awesome. Spanky, your accepting requests off of this forum is just one more example of how dedicated you are to your customers. Truely outstanding and greatly encouraging for us Elk M1G owners!
