    Wireless sensors with Elk M1 - Interlogix or Honeywell?

    Look at Resolution Products. They make Honeywell-compatible sensors at a big discount over buying Honeywell-branded sensors. Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk

    SSH issue to DSL AT&T connection

    Sounds like an MTU issue. Is the Verizon modem/router combo configured with the correct MTU and TCP MSS clamping? Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk

    older Elk hardware

    The only thing I'm aware of that why have changed in the last 10 years is the introduction of the Elk Two-Way wireless gear, the C1M1 communicator, and one or two input expanders have been deprecated. Not a whole lot has changed on the platform in quite some time, so I'd advise to use what you...

    Advice on Layout & Installation

    Also confirm whether the PoE required is 802.3af (15W) or 802.3at (30W). If you want IR for night and heaters for cold days, you may exceed what standard PoE can provide and will have to use prorietery injectors or separate power cables. Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk

    New Z-wave controller

    Yes, according to the Indiegogo campaign comments they did ship (although it looks like their shipping was quite a mess), and even had a 2.0 software release, but all the reviews I've read characterized it as woefully expensive, underperforming and hard to use.

    Any good or bad words about the Elk C1M1 device and ElkLink service?

    I'm in the middle of doing a C1M1 self-install and I'll add a few things I've discovered as well.   The C1M1 requires outbound access to the following hosts/ports: UDP port 67/68 for DHCP (only required within your local LAN). TCP/UDP port 53 to your DNS servers - Used for name resolution. ICMP...

    Advice on flood sensor choices

    Elk C1M1 Diagnostic Utility

    For reference, unlike in the literature, it's called the C1M1 Configuration Utility, and you can grab v1.2.24 at https://www.elkproducts.com/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=142594 (requires dealer login) Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk

    Advice on flood sensor choices

    I presume a traditional flood sensor wired to your Elk is out of the question? http://www.flairsecurity.com/product/1000-h2o-water-sensor-terminals-2/ Cheap ($15), reliable and doesnt require batteries :) Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk

    Elk C1M1 Diagnostic Utility

    I just bought an Elk C1M14GSM to replace my failed M1XEP (which I had already replaced once before) and I have it connected. Unfortunately, even though it grabs an IP via DHCP, it renews the lease every 3 minutes, dropping all connections in the process. Would anyone happen to have access to...

    Should I Reconsider Z-Wave?

    I have a bunch of Yale locks, but the newer Z-Wave Plus module is only for the Assure locks, not for the original. How did you plan to upgrade it?   Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
