You would be best off going with a generator and compatible automatic transfer switch. This covers you on building codes and insurance. Some sort of transfer switch, manual or auto transfer, is mandatory so that backfeeding is never a possibility. The newer transfer switches have load shed...

I'm looking for a heads up on how to get info from the Elk M1 back to the Leviton USB and Vizia installer tool. Thanks

Be sure to have the newest version of RP (.16) before updating your M1. This will prevent a system wipeout. Save your old database to your desktop and open it with the new RP, then do the firmwares.

Rule Works Good! Thanks

Using RP / zwave There is a motion detector on the driveway. Outdoor lights go out at 8:30pm. After 8:30 the motion is set to turn the outside lights on. What I would like to do is have a rule to sequence them so that it looks like they are being turned on by a person, Porch Light & Kitchen...

Thanks. Should have looked further.

Could not initialize secure connection. Anyone able to get ElkRP2 connected using windows 8?

Good advice. Having recently switched over to Mac, and a time capsule (still have 8 pc's in the house), I need to do some research on assigning addresses. There is a section called DHCP Reservations in the airport utility probably for this very purpose. I was checking out some of the places...

It turned out to be a cat5 that came loose on the switch box. This is compounded by some compatibility problem with windows 8. Installing on the older desktop worked. I might wait for a version update that deals with 8. The UPS guy will bring the serial expander,ELK-M1XSP, and the Leviton...

Yes, Should have mentioned that. First attempts using the setup ELK button on the accounts page found the M1 and gave an IP address 1.0.1.2. Now, I'm getting a message "Can not connect" and No M1EXPs found. I'm pretty much a dummy about networking.

We have an Elk M1G that was installed by a local alarm company. Now in the process of moving from our Vera 2 zwave to the Elk, I am having trouble connecting RP2 through our wireless LAN. I followed the webinar and web tutorial with no luck. Do I need to start with a direct serial connection...

Push the top (on) for a second. It only blinks when it's not paired. It's on GE's Zwave for dummies videos. http://www.jascoproducts.com/z-wave/GE-Z-Wave-Support.asp

I thought that the first controller used was the primary and others were secondaries. All switches and scenes can be controlled from the Mios dashboard as well.

The sequence was Setup, Add, Light, Button 1 or 2 or... Then putting the specific Intermatic Ca3000in setup mode. 6 switches now work with the remote indavidually. The setup and 967 gets the Vera dashboard to recognize the scene controllers. The scenes work on the dashboard, but not with the...

With 3 of these 45600 remotes, I am able to control each of the switches individually. I have a couple of scenes that work from the Mios dashboard, But don't work with the remotes. Appreciate the help.
