Hi Del, I'm only testing 1 speaker at a time which the Elk-73-74 both run at 8 ohms, and the the other test speakers were also 8 ohms. The unit clams to run between 4 and 8 ohms, and I've tried running 2 speakers parallel to give me 4 ohms but same issue on both speakers. Thanks

Hi Linwood, Yes I've connected multiple different speakers direct to the board. Each speaker with its own cable (usually ranging from 1 foot in length). I've also tested the speakers on my own M1 and they all work fine. To go into a little more detail, its not that the volume cuts out but...

So I just installed a new system for a friend (I've done 3 previous installs) and everything is working good as far as contacts and sensors. The issue I'm having is the Output 1voice/speaker. When connecting a speaker it seems to to cut in and out. I've tried 3 other speakers all ranging from...

Thanks everyone. I changed it from all lights to individual ones and it worked. I'll be looking into that isy module.. Thanks for all the help.

So I'm able to control all my Insteon devices through the M1 but I'm now trying to have the system turn all the lights on when the alarm is triggered. You would assume this should be a no brainier but I can't get it to work. I've created a rule, placed it at the top of the list, that looks...

So this means My 50 dollar eKeypad m1 iphone app would be useless for controlling the isy/insteon :(

Well then, I'm now awaiting that too :) I find it crazy that we can't organize our rules.. even a simple up/down arrow to re-order the rules would even be nice.

Checking it out.. Thanks.

Will you still be able to trigger the ISY from the elk for alarms etc?

I just did the upgrade to 3.1.6. I'll let you know if I notice it crash again. Thanks for all the help

Found this online. Would something like this work ?? http://www.security-camera-warehouse.com/cat-5-balun.php or http://www.ethernetextender.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=45 It's said it will go up to 1500 feet so I figure if we run Cat 6 we might get that extra bit of distance?

I've got a friend who is building a 4800sq foot home and he is planning on getting the Elk M1-Gold plus Insteon/ISY99i Controller kit. We are installing the system and wiring the house our self. The problem I'm having is his driveway. It's a gated entrance that is about 2000+ feet away from...

Looks like I'm running v2.8.16. I was just on their website and was about to register but can't seem to find the Serial number from the administrative GUI (not at home to check now)

Hi Lou Apo, Thanks for the quick reply. It seemed that the ISY99 controller stopped working as I was even unable to get into the web gui. A reboot of the device seemed to fix the issue. It actually happened twice so I'm wondering if there is an issue with the controller. Thanks again.

So I've just installed the Elk M1-Gold with a few motion sensors. I've got the M1XEP ethernet interface, ISY99i controller and 2413S Insteon PLM. I've been able to get my Insteon switches to work (on/off) but when I export the file for the elk, then import it, I create a rule to turn on the...
