    Best way to hook batteries in parallel for ELK

    @murphy thank you for this post! This is exactly what I'm trying to do, and I was actually going to use a diode to bypass the smaller battery all together. However, I like your set up, and I think I'll go this route instead. However, being ignorant when it comes to isolation and diodes, I don't...

    Alarm for back house

    Assuming you have a databus hub in your main panel, you would want to run a cat6 to the back-house. In the backhouse, you would install another data bus hub (wired for crossover iirc), to the second DBH, you would install an M1XIN for zones and your keypad. These new zones and keypad would be...

    Elk M1XEP and Sophos UTM
