Hi Guho -   Funny, I bought the new receiver the same time you did with that ebay coupon. LOL.  Could you advise on your procedure?   Was it exactly as you planned, unenroll, turn off elk, install, enroll and all was good?   UPDATE: I went ahead and did the upgrade. Very simple. Here are the...

So I was just browsing Elk's download section and noticed that the latest firmware listed is 5.2.10.  Looks like 5.3.0 got pulled I'm guessing. Anyone have any official details on when it got pulled or when a replacement is coming?

Hi work2play. I was surprised by your comment about poor ios app reviews. I took,a look in App Store and see what you mean. But, I have no issues and more importantly my wife has no issues using the app. So not sure, maybe too many clueless people using el cheapo cameras or don't understand...

Synology works great with my 4 camera setup. Each camera is 2 megapixel and I have no issues. Been running it for years. The fact that Synology does so many other great things so well is icing on the cake.

Hi DEL -   Yes, I think we are all aware of this, but it's also expected that a fair amount of testing is completed before release.  For many users to see random resets of the controller, that's just bad and unacceptable.  I can understand their wording as it relates to "it might break some...

What about testing with the elk m1 to go app? That way you can isolate ekeypad out of the equation

The reboots themselves aren't so alarming (haha) to me, but it's the fact that it triggered the water alerts that is just unacceptable in my situation.  I don't have time for false positives.

Thanks Daveh for this feedback!  I'm glad to know it's not just me!  Hopefully ELK is monitoring this thread.  I'm assuming this will go over like a lead balloon since they have 5.3.0 as UL listed firmware.  Honestly, this is the first time I've seen buggy firmware from ELK for the main control...

Hi all -   I updated to the 5.3.0 firmware about 2 weeks ago and since then had (2) strange issues.   1. After about a week with the new firmware, my Elk M1G in the afternoon for no reason rebooted itself.  I only knew this because I heard the main water shutoff valve do it's thing.  First I...

I've seen some say when the burglar alarm goes off, all lights on.  I would disagree with this statement.  I would say if it's a two story home with bedrooms on the second floor, only turn on the first floor lighting.  You'll have a tactical advantage in that you can see (and if need be, aim on...

Hi All -   The wife is interested in a whole house audio system.  I already have a considerable investment in my ELK M1 Gold, ISY-994i, eKeyPad Pro.   I know there is some integration with RussSound, but after some reading of threads, seems this integration isn't working well anymore possibly as...

No need to worry about anything being taken the wrong way,I posed 3 possibilities, and was just looking for a discussion on those ideas or if anyone had a better idea.   I've already talked myself out of option #3, so it's between 1 and 2 now.  Besides cost, #1 is more complexity, so I might...

I've been thinking more about my original idea #3 and one problem potentially is that if the battery is failing or failed, it might not have enough current to supply the ELK-WSV.  I'm afraid at that point there would be too much of a draw on the charger part of the ELK-M1G and maybe this might...

So I ordered the ELK-WSV after thinking about it for years and had it installed yesterday.  I still need to do my wiring to the unit though.  As such I've thought about a few different approaches in terms of wiring for power.  Wanted to get some feedback on my ideas.   1. Spend $$ to get the...
