I talked to ELK tech support and they confirmed everything you all suggested. The key point was to setup a unique access-only user with a specific PIN code / Weigand code and then use this rule:   WHENEVER ACCESS KP1 IS TRIGGERED   AND LAST USER WAS userx This can be triggered from a standard...

Given this and the fact that the lock will be powered by the same power supply as the ELK, probably should just use the Elk relay at the main controller.

  It's an electric door strike, fail secure (locked), and with a fully operable interior handle that opens whether the strike is locked or not. I was planning to have the lock controlled by relays at the M1. It's nice to know that the full keypads have a 12V output that can be used for this...

Thanks all for your help.    This I've registered and downloaded RP2. I don't have an Elk M1 to test with yet. I'm getting ready to place the order, I need to figure out the keypad requirements for the garage to be able to unlock the doors. I'm hoping to do that without Card Readers, but I'll go...

The door is unlocked via contact closure. So close the relay on the Elk controller and the lock unlocks. I have past experience with HAI Omni, but in the process of installing a new Elk system. What Im trying to figure out is how to tie a specific keypad to a specific lock. There are 2...

I want to be able to unlock the door that goes from the Garage into the house. To be clear, this is not an exterior door, but rather a door between the garage and house. The door locks are controlled by the ELK M1.   I'm wondering what the options are for controlling the door lock from a keypad...

  Can you share the settings you used to point the C1M1 to AlarmRelay? I have an AlarmRelay subscription and I don't need the Telguard service. I'm hoping the C1M! can connect to my existing account if configured properly.

I can't provide any help with the ZTE WF730. However, I can confirm that I switched to a Telguard TG-SCI PLUS (Part NumberTGSCIPG01) Wi-Fi + Cellular communicator and it works without issue. Lower monthly fee due to Wi-Fi being the primary path and Cellular serving only as occasional use backup.

Thanks. I didn't realize they were now under Leviton as well. It seems this would work, though the cost of the BC4 controller is higher than I'd hoped.

What's the simplest way to get my HAI Omni to send an IR command on a schedule? I want to be able to transmit a "drapery close" or "drapery open" IR command in my living room at certain times of the day.   Thanks!

After weeks of trying to use Space. . . I have to agree. The User Interface looks nice, but the User Experience is a huge step backwards. Here's my list: There are is no useful information displayed on the home screen. (Having the clock there is not useful.) I can't see the security status in...

I'm using my Synology with three 3-megapixel ACTi Power-over-Ethernet cameras and three 1-megapixel Trendnet wireless cameras. I use on-camera motion detection to minimize network bandwidth usage.  The setup works flawlessly; much more reliable than a PC-based solution and more features than...

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just forward the notification e-mail to a Gmail account and create the forwarding rules there? It doesn't have the spooling capabilities if the network is down, but otherwise seems easier for the average user.

Thanks for your help! I wouldn't have known where to start otherwise. It looks like the detection threshold can be changed. 8 is the default, 15 is the max, and 0 is disabled. I changed it from 8 to 4 and will adjust from there to find the appropriate threshold.

So I assume it would involve writting the scripts to communicate with the TCP Socket of the Global Cache and basing the event off of flags set in the HAI controller?
