@elvisimprsntr - I haven't updated the Elk firmware in about a year so I'll check that out to ensure I'm current there.  What is the ISY add on module?  I'm using the ISY99 Pro controller I believe.  I believe that there is an Elk module for the ISY if that's what you referring to and no, I'm...

Hello,   I use my M1G to control my lighting via the ethernet expansion module and an ISY99 controller.  I have rules that trigger when motion sensors or door contacts are violated.  For instance, if family room door opens and it's dark outside, turn rear pot lights on.  I also start a timer on...

Turned out my main control board was fried. Have a replacement now and everything is working great again. Thanks.

Hello, Tried installing this tonight and have had no luck. Initially tried it with two keypads and the serial expander device but nothing had any power. Then scaled back and just tried to get one keypad to go, again, no luck. I've terminated J2 on the M1DBH with the dummy plug and also J3 on...

Thanks Johnnynine, I"ll take a look at that. Hopefully it's just a simple fix like that. Cheers.

Just a further note, in a lot of cases when it doesn't work, it usually only misses one way... if it doesn't notify me that the alarm has been armed, it will normally work when it's disarmed. It's just strange that it works most of the time but not always???

I have my M1 system set up with a rule that sends email whenever the system is armed or disarmed by my wife. This works great about 80% of the time but once in awhile it simply doesn't work. Does anyone have any recommendations on something I can try to improve the reliability. Note, I have...

Success!! Tonight I gave it one final try. I disabled the transmitter at the keypad and then manually found the transmitters again. I did this and then imported these settings into RP. After this I set both wireless options to disabled (unchecked) and I had the system talking. I was...

Spanky, I went home at lunch and tried as you suggested to manually enrol the transmitters again. This didn't seem to work either. I turned enable off at the keypad and then did the enrollment using the test button again. I heard the beep at the keypad ok so it sees the trasmitter - just...

I initially enrolled the transmitters from the Elk keypads and then when I connected RP it sensed a mismatch between the database and the panel. I think downloaded the change to the database which had the TxId values there. I can try removing these and installing them from RP if that's what...

Hi Spanky, thanks for your help. I've done as you and Paul suggested and set the wired state to 0=EOL SUPERVISED/RF I've also set the following in the RF tranmitter settings: - checked to enable the transmitter - set the supervised pull down menu to 1-normal supervision - checked option 1 to...

I'm in the process of hooking up my wireless reciever and a couple of wireless door contacts. I've installed the GE Networx NX-548E receiver to my Elk M1G and all seems fine. I also enrolled two GE wireless door contacts on zones 17 and 18 respectively. They seem to have come across fine as...

dlamb, thanks... got it. I was just a little confused but you've cleared it up. Thanks again.

That did it... thanks a million. I'm back in business. :(

I'm having trouble getting a burglary alarm to trigger a siren on output 1 of my panel. I've got output 1 connected to an Elk speaker, and I can hear voice info through the speaker... I just can't get any sirens to sound when an alarm is triggered. I've checked the globals section under RP and...
