Hi Serge,   The ELK-M1G allows up to 16 thermostats. Only one M1XSP is required to communicate with up to 16 Aprilaire thermostats  You need to assign a name (using ELK-RP) for each thermostat that the M1G will communicate with. The ELK-M1XSP must be configured (proper jumper settings, see...

Do you have the "OPT" box in ELK-RP Lighting selected or not selected? For any lighting controller connected to the ELK-M1XSP, the "OPT" box should be not selected. When "OPT" is not selected the M1 will transmit the multiple lighting commands to the M1XSP in sequence with a short time...

Check the programmable cutoff timers and make sure they are not set to 0.

polarbear44, Your ELK ASCII command looks to be formatted correctly. Does your ELK-M1XSP have a firmware version of 70.0.2?

I probably should have added that a second dial attempt is made, if you do not answer or kiss-off the on the first attempt

Chris D, The option to dial and deliver voice messages without the preceding "please hold" and the ending "press pound to end message" is enabled by programming the first digit of the phone number with the digit "A". The actual voice message will start 1.5s after dialing and will only play...

Hi William, The communications between the ELK-M1XEP and ELK-RM is through port 2101. You'll need to "Enable" port 2101 for the M1XEP from the ELK-RP-> M1XEP Setup Tab (there is a check box for that). Also you will need to configure the port number for 2101 in the ELK-RM program's setup page...

William, It sounds like there might be a communication problem between the thermostat and the ELK. To determine if it is or not: At an ELK keypad, press the "ELK" menu key, press the right arrow key, press the '6' key "Thermostat Temperature", press the right arrow key. Does the ELK show the...

Yes, you can use the DS18S20 with the M1KAM. You'll need to tie the DS18S20's GND and VDD pins together (parasite-powered method) and connect them to the KAM's "iButton GND" terminal. Connect the "DQ" pin to the KAM's iButton "iButton" terminal (the last terminal on the right). The KAM will...

The Omni 2 has 4 screw terminals used for serial communications. From memory I believe they are labeled as Yellow, Green, Black, and N/C. Remove the wire jumper that is installed between the Black and N/C terminals. Connect the White wire from the M1XSP's supplied cable (W037A) to the Omni2's...

Questions for the people using the beta M1XSP firmware for interfacing with the Z-wave Vizia RZC0P: 1. What is the ELK-M1's firmware version? 2. Is your ELK-M1 also controlling other lighting devices (X-10, Insteon,UPB, etc.) along with the Z-wave devices? Regarding the lights turning off...

Thank you for reporting this. We have a thermostat set up on the bench here at ELK. I do some testing to see if I can reproduce the problem of missed commands. To help in my troubleshooting, I'm going to use a rule to resend the command if a stat setting did not get processed the first time...

Squintz, In your rule you're turning A1 on. Do you have a PSC05 X-10 interface module connected to the M1's J5 (X-10) connector?

The M1XSP is not compatible with the ZC6R. The M1XSP does not support the zone code command (Z=data) that is used with the ZC6R. The M1XSP will work with the ZCVx products that have the RCS protocol revision 4.3. The ZCVx products do not use the Z=data for zone information. Each individual...

There is a cutoff timer assigned for each type of alarm. The cutoff timer names can not be changed because they are associated by the zone definition (burg, fire, water, etc.) . When an alarm occurs, the M1 will automatically use the time programmed in the cutoff timer for that type of alarm...
