    Elk M1G Failure to Communicate

    I think commas make longer pauses, but that probably doesn't matter since the dialer isn't even attempting to seize the line. Make sure you entered your phone correctly -- no spaces, no area code for local call, reporting format 5 with no more than two dialing attempts. I would also try...

    Can you post the rule you are using to test?

    Remote Access-M1Gold

    Are you typing in the same url from both locations? You know you have an 'in-network' address and an 'out-of network' address, right?

    ElkRP setup for new instal

    ;) The manual pretty clearly spells out the differences. When all else fails, read the instructions. Do you have the manual?

    Elk Doorbell Detector: rules to use it?

    Did you turn the chime off? I don't think it can chime and speak at the same time. Otherwise, your rule should work fine. One of mine looks like.... When doorbell becomes not secure....and it is dark outside....then announce (doorbell)...then turn on lights on the front porch, driveway and...

    Good networked color cam w/ nightvision ?

    It's hard to explain, but it isn't long until everyone falls into a routine and it becomes superfluous. Don't get me wrong, we had an audio monitor for a little while with our first and it was sometimes neat to just listen while the baby was waking up and talking and playing alone. Quite...

    Good networked color cam w/ nightvision ?

    I agree on both counts, friend. Just trying to help, so cool your jets. Besides, I pointed out in my post that it didn't meet your 'network' requirement. I know very little of cameras, other than there is likely nothing out there that meets all your requirements. Otherwise, you (or someone...

    Opinions on panel located in attached Garage

    Sure, the garage is fine. Are you worried about it being secure or looking ugly? You could always run the wire in conduit and put the unit in a locked box...

    Elk M1 Alarm Not sounding during rule activation

    That's normal. It can't talk over the speakers and over the phone line at the same time. To solve this, I made specialized email messages that are sent to my phone in the event of an alarm. That way, you still get the alarms over the speakers and an immediate message on your phone stating...

    Wiring ? UPB Light Switch

    That is correct. I have the same wiring configuration throughout my 2-story. Wiring to the switches consists of a single 12/2 wire w/ground ("switched hot" wire). Almost all of these either come up from the (unfinished) basement or down from the attic. I have found that it is not too...

    Difficult speaker installation advice needed please

    Yep. Slimmer than a business card. Paint or paper right over it. Never used it myself, but I have seen it. I'd go with the pro installer. They really can get it anywhere!

    Somewhat disappointed in air distribution

    What he's describing sounds just like an insert to me (or at least a decent wood burner). We heat two floors of our home with a fireplace insert. It has been our experience, as others have posted, that it takes a while (several hours) to even things out. Do run your HVAC fan. If I start a...
