Thanks for the response. The pdf didn't truly help me but gave me a light bulb moment to READ the Elk wireless manual closer since for the GE system you need to have the GE system learn the sensor. You have to go to the keypad and goto option 14 and learn the sensor through there. This is...

I have an Interlogic door sensor (GE part # 60-688-95) that I cannot enroll in the Elk. I have other GE (either CADDX or Interlogic) sensors that have been going great and easy to setup. I have an M1XRF2G and it states this sensor should work. On the side there is what I think is the TX ID...

Thanks DEL.  That helped.  At first nothing happened.  But...thinking that the ABN sent information through the internet, there was no need to have a phone number set in the Phone section.  I placed my phone number and the Buttset worked and dialed out and the ABN sent the info and all is good...

I have been using Elk w/ Nextalarm for a few years without problem.  My last reported events was this past summer.  No events since then to report until 2 recent alarms (false burglar and false smoke).  Both of those resulted in no reported events to Nextalarm.  No changes have been made to...

I just had this problem and it turned out to be a wiring error on my part. If you are blinking that means your power wiring is correct. If you cannot enroll then your A,A1,B,B1 wiring is either wired wrong or not spliced together. I was using CAT5 and the white/green and white/blue looked the...

Well it seems to be an LCD TV in my office. My question is why does this affect only 1-2 switches and not all? Is it a proximity issue (Rooms, breakers, ...)? I want to add more switches so how can I make my signals better to prevent this? Add: FYI: This TV has an audible hum all the time...

Thanks for all the responses. I have added a lot of small items to the house recently but realized I added a big piece of equipment earlier this year...a pool filter. So, this morning I checked the switch and everything was normal, UPStart saw the switch and tested fine. I figured after the...

I have two SA 240 switches that no longer connect to the network but work just fine at the switch. I have CQC adjust my lighting and recently I noticed they no longer did what they were suppose to. I tried to connect to them through UPStart but they can't be found. I tried to re-add them and...

Opening an old thread... Has anyone know how to fix this? I am unable to get to the web based Elk Java screen from outside the network. It will connect from the LAN, but outside I get to the screen where you can enter the access code and it comes up with the Unable to connect, another device...

ChuckSchick, If you have already paid for CQC and it works for you, why change it? They no longer are charging for yearly update fees (search here and CQC forum for all the details). Even thought you don't use all the features (same here only because of a time factor, not the lack of will to...

Is your 4-digit ABN OAP PIN Code the same as your alarm pin code? I had the same problem when I did mine and just entered a 4 digit code in the Nextalarm setup page. I found out it is suppose to be the same as your alarm code...worked. Now I have a problem with the ABN losing connectivity...

I have a friend who just bought a newly built house and wants to install a security system instead of going with the ADT types. He has no interest in a home automation system but does want the ability to access it from the internet (him and his wife have iphones). I priced out a Elk EZ 8...

I don't know why but it occurs with disabled rules (and maybe comments too, don't recall). Like all the others, I either ignore it or send it to the system. Try enabling any rules that are disabled and see if it goes away.

I use rules to do what you want. My alarm goes to Stay Mode at 11pm. My wife gets home from work after midnight 3 days/wk so when the garage door goes up, my rule changes the alarm mode from Stay to Away. This way if it is her, she can open the garage/house entrance door (the garage door is...

Sorry for the confusion...I did go through a wall cavity. I did not drill from the side of the window, through 2 2x4s into the wall cavity then through the sole plate. I absolutely hate fishing wire through insulation and I figured that way would be so hard to fish a wire through 2 small holes...
