Hi Deckard,
The elk 930 is just a current detector. The way I have it is best visualized with this diagram:

I hope you can see it via this link. The idea is as follows: the pro power kit allows some current to leak without buzzing the bell so the pro doorbell has enough power to work all the time. Normally, when connected in-circuit, this operating current leads to false alarms on the ELK 930 esp at night with the IR at full blast.
What I am doing here is to put the Elk 930 in the position of the red oval. And instead of the power kit grey wire going to Front we bypass the elk 930 (fuzzy pinkish line shows where it goes, crossed out where it should not be going. This means the elk only gets triggered by current actually going through the chime, not current handled via the power kit.
you could also put the elk930 between transformer and trans, and reroute the other pro power kit wire to bypass the elk930. Either way, the idea is that the elk930 is in some wire carrying only chime current ,not diverted current via the power kit.
This is how I have it and it is working 100% reliably for more than 6 months.
Good luck. No extra components needed.
