Where I live we have very unreliable power because of 4-8 hours downtime due to load shedding. I want to install backup power to keep going during those downtimes. I am considering to do it in two phases. Firstly I want to install an inverter that would supply power to critical circuits during...

Hi all, I think having LEDs showing the status (Armed, Not Armed) of ELK to control via remote from main gate will be nice. Is using Rules the only way to accomplish this? All that is required is eliminating a green LED if system is Not Armed and a Red LED is system is Armed, or one LED will...

I want to control Elk and monitor CCTV cameras remotely via the Internet. ElkRM does not support SSL, but ELK-M1XEP do. Is it possible to connect to Elk through the Internet without port-forwarding? What are the options here?

When I open ElkRP connect to M1G and click on the Status menu button it open the Status dialog box, but scroll to the bottom of the list displaying the Input Zone, so I can only see Zone 10 – 16 and it does not allow me to scroll up. Also there is no Submit|OK button or Cancel Button nor an [X]...

I want to add CCTVs to my system. I feel that the DVR is a better option than IP cameras. Would that statement be supported here? I want to add 4 - 16 cameras. Is it recommended to go for a DVR supported by ElkRM? I would think so because then TS07 can be used to view cameras. I there more...

Do you mean resetting all outputs when power comes back up? Also my ElkRP is acting funny. In the New Rule window there is no OK button anymore to submit the rule, nor is there a [X] in the title bar to close the window. I have to open Task Manager and close ElkRP there to get out of it. On a...

What would qualify as a Failsafe rule to control sprinklers? I connected my solenoid valves to Elk and am very happy with how it works but is concern that if something goes wrong the sprinklers will stay open. My setup is as follows: Hardware: Use Elk outputs to control relays that switch 24VAC...

I am hoping one of the Elk gurus can help me out here. I want to set my house in an Arrive Mode as soon as someone opens the main gate. On the gate motor's PCB there is a LED connector that can be used to display the status (open or close) of the gate. What this gives is a 0 VDC when the gate is...

Thanks Spanky for usual prompt response, my wiring was wrong. Working fine now except that the TS07 does not allow me to dim the light it just jumps from 0% to 100%.?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction on how to control X-10 using my Elk M1G. I am trying to send an X-10 command to control lighting. I have connected a XM10E, (220V version of PSC05) to M1G and to 220V power. I have written a rule to dim the light to 30% to test the setup. If I...
