Does anyone know if these devices will signal when their battery is low?
Thanks
Tuantu - why do you think Elk needs updated firmware to support these? The sensors apparently use the same frequency that the GE sensors use and the folks at Ion-digital said, and I quote from the direct question I asked them:You mentioned this micra is compatible with ELK panel/wireless receiver but I don't believe Elk has an updated firmware for the main security panel and the wireless receiver so it would work with Micra. I believe Elk is working on this firmware or at least that is what they indicated in some of the email traffic.
Our Micra-G and Plunger-G are compatible with all current GE receivers or where 319.5 MHz sensors are used. They should work just fine with the M1XFR2G zone expander.
Is there something I'm missing? I'm about to place an order and don't want to end up with useless stuff if there's something key I'm missing about the Elk.

With the micra. BEWARE OF LIMITED RANGE. I have had many go-backs from our techs not being mindful of the antenna and also placing these devices too far from the receiver (loss of supervision (check)). We don't use them any more. They do look slick though.

Well they may look slick, but their unreliability makes them useless in a security setting. The one time you get broken into could be the time they don't perform. What kind of range were they 100% at? Thanks for the heads-up.
May I ask what you use instead now?
