thanks that is what I come up with as well but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.  I guess I will be moving back to apple.  I had such high hopes for windows but they can't seem to shake their past... 

What's my chances of a app coming out that would allow me to manage my elk m1 remotely on my window phone?  As of now I just have txt messages via alerts but not really what I'm looking for.  My only other option is to fall back to that fruity company not a fan of android.

and the answer is... "We will not be releasing anything for this unit. It does not have a serial port, therefore we cannot not interface with it using the M1XSP. The dial capture feature should provide full reporting via Contact ID or SIA."

Here is the response I got from Elk... "The Uplink 4550 works on Dial Capture (Contact ID, SIA, Modem II, and certain pulse formats) and also has 2 dedicated hardwired input triggers. The dial capture should work with the M1 Control, although we have not tested it. The M1 can provide an...

I've sent a request to Elk to confirm support. I'll report back what I hear.

after looking at the notes the uplink 4550 looks to be the better path. so I would need to get a m1xsp to go along with it. has anyone integrated this with their m1?

I'm looking for advice on which way to go for monitoring for a new install for elk m1. I have a local company that wants to install the Telguard TG1B GSM and monitor for 28 with no contract. Can't complain about the price just wanted to make sure this is the right path to take. Any suggestions?

No worries Chris I know how it is. I have double hung windows but would like to see how you did it when you get a chance.

I'm about to install the Tane's this weekend and would love to see some pictures of them installed. I have the screw terminal ones but any of them or just for a visual aid any surface mounts would help. I'm trying to figure out how to install them in the cleanest manner.

Just trying to think this through and limit the visual items... I plan to have a whole house audio system (htd) and was wandering if anyone has attempted to use those speakers for the alarm (elk m1g)? I'm assuming you would have to take up a source in order to do something like this. is it...

thanks everyone. I put the order in yesterday now its hurry up and wait.

thanks everyone. On the smokes do I have to use fire wire or can i just use the regular 18/2? The electrician is installing the un-monitored 110v smokes throughout.

Ok I'm about to pull the trigger on the wire and want your advice on what I need. I'm putting in an elk M1 all hardwired. 2 wire smokes, motion, glass break, siren/voice, and door/window sensors. doors/ windows - 22/2 2 wire smokes - 18/2 (should these be ran serial from zone 16 or home run...

I thought the same thing. Any concerns of corrosion on the terminals over time?

newalarm - I originally looked at doing something like that. Do you not have enough room to indent and glue the magnet I'll ask my builder to see what his thoughts are on this. I like the pill mentioned above but I can see my kids knocking them off or otherwise. If its hidden no chance of...
