Frederick... I completely agree with your statement, however, since the documentation clearly states it should work at this speed, and it has been reported by others here that it will work at 2400, I felt I was masking a "real" problem and eventually, it would poke it's ugly head. I contacted...

I emailed HAI's support department of my inability to get the Omnistat to function at 2400 baud and here is their reply... "HAI does not have any intimate knowledge of the ELK automation controller, so we would have no comment or information for connecting an HAI tstat to it at a...

I have one Omnistat2 installed with my Elk and have the same symptoms. It works fine at 300 baud but will not communicate at all set to 2400. I too used the solid colors of Cat5 and when that didn’t work, I added the tracer color to each, thinking I had a noise issue somehow. My last...

Scott, I'm only connecting one Omnistat2 to my Elk and like you, can only get it to work at 300 baud. I have verified every setting, both on the Stat and XSP multiple times. I'm beginning to think there is a noise issue on the RS-232 stat lines. The lengh of my cable between my XSP and Stat...

Very helpful Lou, thanks!

Thanks for everyone’s help. It turns out, the two dimmers I tried to control with the timer program were not transmitting event status. I had to unlink and reset both devices and for some reason, they began working fine. I assumed that since they were included within scenes and...

I've been using programs to automatically turn off lights after a specified amount of time and up until now, I've only had a need to do this at locations using switchlinc's Relays (Non-Dimmers). The program is quite simple and works well..... If Control 'Master Bath Fan' is switched on Then...

Hello all, I would like to lower the arming volume of my M1G during evening hours using rules but haven't been able to find a way to do so. I recall this being discussed here but for the life of me, can't seem to find it again with search. Thanks you,

Ano, Thank you for your reply. I've found a reference to a report of a "system warning" but no specifics. I was trying to determine a way of forcing the system to provide me with the last stored battery value, if it indeed even works as I'm suggesting. Regarding my use of a motion sensor in...

After 2 months I finally got my first false alarm from my M1G. As expected, it's from a wireless PIR that is installed in my shed, about 50 feet from the Receiver. Haven't been able to determine what caused the false alarm but it got me thinking... I've read that the system will provide a...

I’ve decided to forgo a Security Reporting Service and rely on my M1G to notify me via cell phone and email (and text using @vtext). EMAIL and PHONE – Using rules, I’ve configured my system to send me an email indicating an intrusion Whenever any alarm, any area turns on Then Send...

Hello, I planned to install Viewsonics dual Band motion sensor which operates its Microwave at 2.45GHz. Since this is the same band as WiFi, should I be concerned with interference? I could switch to PIR's but would prefer to minimize my chances of a false alarm due to heat vents, windows and...

Hi, I have an M1G setup including the Ethernet interface and elk wireless. The issue I'm having is in trying to call into (remotely) to access the system. When I call in to the M1G via an external phone, I hear a high pitched squeal similar to a "microphone/speaker" feedback in between the M1...
