Hello All, It has been a while and I revisiting another new install of M1 gold in my new residential area. I know it is best advisable that all smoke detector (2W or 4W) shold be daisy chain wired. where I got confused now is where do I put the EOL relay and EOL resistor in my diagram. So this...

Hello All, I need an advice on the following hardware. I'm in the process of integrating a rain sensor to my elk m1 system so that if I have my windows open, and the sensor detect rain, it will remind me to close windows. I also need advice on wired current sensor that I can use to monitor...

  Hello Klemmer, so you installed the elkm1::control on a pc and your hardware such as security cameras, motion sensor communicate with elk m1 via the API? Could you pm a copy of the update script? I have been working relentlessly trying to figure out how this work. thanks

Any one still using this Perl API? What 3rd party automation system do you use to interact with the ELK M1 via this API?

There is an old posting on how to use an API ElkM1::Control to interact with ELK m1. I have posted the link of this thread below. If anyone out there is still using this program, please can you help with installing. I am trying to write a script for URC total control to communicate with ELK via...

so some of my other PIR are wired like the one below, will the picture below detect if there is a nick on the wire?

Thanks Ano, so for home use, I can jus ingnore the Tamper then. so the Red wire goes to +, black white goes to -, green goes to NC and white has 2.2 ohm resistor attached to it and the leg of the resistor goes to C. Is this sufficient for a residential wiring?  

ok. I have finally wired up the motion PIR, does this looks ok?  

But people are telling me to ignore the Tamper connector if I'm wiring for residential. I will like if there is a standard way to wire four conductors and a EOL to motion PIR. Thanks

Ok, forget about those Tamper connections. so does the 2.2 ohm resistor connects to the wire going to C or NC terminal block?

Thanks for your quick response. No, this is for residential. If you were to make the connection with EOL, how would you connect it?  

Hello All, I'm kinda confused right now. I want to connect my new PIR motion detectors to the ELK M1 gold, however the motion detectors has a tampered contact on it. I will be connecting the PIR to the panel with 4 wires conductors. this is what the PIR has (+ - NC C T T). so i know + and - is...

  Thanks RAL for this wonderful explanation. I really appreciate your effort. So, the little black jumper that came with the keypad should not be used, right? since one terminator is used at the hub and the second at the main panel JP3. 

I'm about to install my elk m1 gold after spending months buy parts. I read the keypad installation manual but I'm confused. First this am trying to accomplish is to take some load of the M1 control its. So I will be running power from my altronix to the databus hub and the Data A and Data B on...

Hello DEL, I don't understand what you meant by fire drop. Could you please elaborate more on that. Thanks
