Rather than email eKeypad over and over, or post multiple threads, I've been collecting some questions, and decided to post them all here in one thread, for others' benefit as well.
Can someone from eKeypad (or anyone on this forum who knows the answers), answer the below questions?
- Can you have multiple eKeypad apps open and operating at the same time using an Elk M1 security system. That is, if I have an iPad mounted at my front door (only point of entrance/exit in my home that we use), and it's constantly set on, in Blueprint mode, I've got the blueprint of my home showing. I can operate the lights that are controlled via the ISY/Insteon from this view, as well as have my alarm keypad to arm/disarm. However, it seems that if I have this iPad mounted, I cannot access the security panel from my other iPad or iPhone. Simply put, can I use multiple devices to control the Elk M1 via eKeypad at the same time?
- Is there an option to have the alarm keypad "open" when the alarm is sensed? Meaning, if I open my front door, I get a countdown timer and have X amount of time to disarm. If my iPad is displaying the blueprint of my home, I click on my alarm link, that pops up the alarm keypad, and I input code to disarm. Is there a way to have the eKeypad app automatically "open" or "pop-up" the alarm keypad upon sensing that the countdown timer has started (someone entered the home)?
- I have a button to toggle between pages on the Blueprint screens. Main floor, garage, basement, etc. Is it possible to use the swipe feature of the iPad to toggle between screens/floors in the blueprint mode?
- Can you change the color of the garage indicator lights? I have my garage doors operating via the I/O Linc (Insteon), and purchased the "reverse" sensor. So at this point, when my garage is closed, the light shows GREEN. Great. When the garage is open, the lights shows YELLOW. I would like it to be red. Can me as a user adjust this color?
