yup! been using them for a couple years now. aside from the occasional service interruption that requires me to reboot my phone ~1-2 times/year, its flawless. 

Just throwing this out there, I always sorta wanted something like this, but found that this is way easier to implement (obviously, situation dependent): https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate I've got a camera on my driveway, and I just use this for object detection and it works 99.9% of...

  ^^ this! I ran their supervised on ubuntu for a long time until they started warning that it was an "unsupported" OS, then I switched to debian and have had zero problems. 

  Fire investigator and insurance investigator could never say definitively. The insurance person was an electrical engineer and forensic investigator, and an all around super bright guy. The setup was working for ~3 months before catching fire, which is the crazy part.

  I was using a 16VAC transformer and chime. This was within spec (according to Nelly's). The fire was extremely traumatic, but I caught it <5 minutes of it burning thanks to my Elk smoke detector, so most of the damage was from smoke/soot.

fwiw, I'd be careful with these doorbells - mine started on fire. The only thing the insurance investigator could ever turn up was that it was a faulty product.  edit: I should add, mine was a rebranded product by Nelly's

welcome back! Hope the new gig works out well for you. 

  I factory reset the elk, but still have the same issue. The M1XEP gets an IP, but I cannot connect. I'm ~99% sure the lightning ran through my ethernet cables in the house because it fried 2 POE switches and most POE devices in my house. I have a feeling it fried the old M1XEP and flowed from...

  Thanks pete - you're the best. 

  you mean just start replacing all components (like the panel, etc)?    I definitely get what you mean if that's what you're saying because there are all sorts of weird things going on. The keypads seem to function okay, but I've also had some very erratic behavior from my speakers as well. I...

  Unfortunately, even if this did work, I don't have one. 

  Hm, I may have a backup of the config, but it may be a little old. I'll take a look at factory resetting the M1 in the elk documentation. 

  Ever find anything out about this? 

  No phone connected, i'm doing monitoring over IP.    When ElkRP finds it, it shows the IP, MAC, and Port 2601

Hey all!  I believe I had lightning strike near my home recently - myself and my neighbor both lost a random assortment of electronics. I'm still trying to sort through what got fried and what was OK, and am struggling with my Elk M1. Immediately after the strike, it complained of an ethernet...
