Looks like for size I'm going to need to go with the ELK-M1KPB.

My first question is if Bay Alarm/Vista20/presumably honeywell keypads can be used with the Elk M1. I assume the answer is no and have been searching for confirmation, but if anyone can verify that I'd appreciate it. My second question is more general - what is the best and or biggest Elk M1...

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing where the USR was previously and with the 240s on the outside lights. I think this USR will ultimately get scrapped as I'm sort of OCD about all of the LEDs matching.

First of all, thanks to all of your help, we have been able to get it fixed. Turns out there was a FOURTH switch that I didn't know about - it was turned off, and that interrupted the load as you suggested. We removed it and capped the black wires together along with the white wires so I'll be...

You may remember my recent issue here: http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/20886-help-with-a-upb-four-way-switch-and-bluegreen-leds/ Which I was able to get resolved. Anyway, on the middle floor we decided to swap out the switch next to the (then working) us 240. I put in a USR in the two...

Desert_AIP, thanks again for all the help. Both my three way and four way switches are working perfectly after following your advice. Very happy. :rockon:

First, thanks for all the help from you and email68. I'll try your suggestions when I get home. We are replacing a previously installed four way switch. And it was odd enough to have my electrician buddy scratching his head for a little while, particularly as it sounds like the previous home...

So should the load switch be configured any differently than the other two?

I thought the 240s had direct load control. We wired it so the load goes to each switch. I have modified the options on how to set the LEDs, but nothing changes regardless. The bottom 240 does have the load - it's the only one that actually changes from blue/green when it is turned on and...

My electrician friend and I got things working - but the blue/green LEDs aren't accurately showing the status. I'm going to do my best to diagram how it is wired. These are all US-240s froms Simply Automated. Top floor: Line voltage comes in Black/load capped. White/neutrals capped...

Also, thanks for all the help. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Any recommendations on tone tracers? Triplett 3399 Fox 2 & Hound 3 Probe Kit Found that one on amazon.

I can't really spot anything suggesting V-20SE or V-20P on the board, but could post pics. Should I swap out the box and everything or just the board? The Elk M1 Gold package did come with a box and apparently everything else. It sounds like I may need to get a line tracer as nothing is...

It says "VISTA20BAY" and "New E2 programming". It's powered on, currently showing a number of faults, but I've never used it or tried to do anything with it. I know there are a number of smoke detectors and door/window sensors throughout the house. I'm guessing most work and some don't. I...

I don't have any kind of existing infrastructure - so I'm hoping to build one and do it right the first time. I'll check out those brands. What do you mean by "AD" hardware?
