Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a Concord4 to Ethernet using a SuperBus 2000 Automation Module wRS232 and then use a Homeseer Controller with the Concord4 interface to interact with a Zwave network?<br />

I just sold my house with an Elk M1 with ZWave, Wireless, Ethernet, RS-232, eKeypad Pro managing contacts, PIRs, TStats, Leviton Lights and Russound Audio. I am buying new house with a Builder installed GE Concord4 panel. What options are available to have some of the same functionality as with...

Update: Been traveling a lot recently and managing the house remotely with eKeypad and M1ToGO. I configured the TSTATs to Non-programmable mode and programmed temp setpoints with the ELK. The TSTATs would still frequently go into Energy Saving mode and ignored the Elk temp setpoint programming...

Thanks for the info.  I am not getting any support from Honeywell.  The tech desk said the problem is created when the Tstats are enrolled in the zwave network.  So much for wanting a zwave Tstat.  I will replace the batteries any way.

My Tstats randomly change its programming to "Permanent hold". I have several Honeywell TH8320ZW connected to a M1 using eKeypad on iPhone/iPad for control. Does anyone have experience with this Tstat and know the cause of the program change?  

How do you enroll ZWave Devices that are not lighting or Thermostats devices?   For example, Levition ZWave modules used for automation tasks.

Yes, all have different addresses.  Have reconnected the Cat5 to the 4-wire also.  Will remove and rewire again.

Thanks for the response, just trying to confirm the wiring.  I have been having problems enrolling the M1KPAS.  No problems with the 4 other M1KP2's on the system.

Can the M1KPAS be connected to the M1DBH? If so, what Cat5 wire colors are used in the RJ-45 from the Elk-W018b?

Could you explain?

Thanks for the comments.  I am using wireless on most windows/doors because the builder and manufacturer prefer that I not drill into window casement. I will run wire for all other applications.  Additionally, I will install iPads running eKeypad is several locations to emulate the ELK-M1KPNAV...

I am planning my ELK system for 6000 sf new construction.  I plan to use the components listed below.  Please provide comments/insights on the following: What is missing? What additional components are required? Is a larger battery needed? (ELK-1280 8Ah Battery) Are there better PIR/GB’s to...

I am designing for new construction of a 4000 Sq Ft house. I am planning to use a Homeseer Hometroller to control an ELK M1G for security, VIZIA RF for lighting, Russound MCA for Audio/Video, and RCS Thermostats for HVAC. I will connect these devices via the serial port. I am assuming that all...
