I guess I should fess up. I'm an attorney, not a programmer (no jokes, please). My point was that if I could use PH having no background in programming, anyone can. As Tony mentioned, PH supports many better ways of doing what Dave wanted to do, my suggestion probably being the ugliest and...

I'm not a programmer either. It took me a couple of tries in PH before it clicked with me, but I figure if I can do it anyone can. The IF/THEN/ELSE in PH2 is covered by a JUMP command in a macro. If your checking to see if X=1 for example, than the logic would be as follows: if(x=1,THEN GOTO...

Never mind. I answered my own question. Everything was wired correctly. And when I set off the alarm it seized the line. Since I don't have a monitoring service yet I had no test code programmed into the M1. That info came from the user guide page 20.

Got the M1G up and running. installed the RJ-31X as described (Gray, Brown, Red Green) and the Telco Line (Blue/wh and White/Bl) and red and green to my panel. My phones work and I can access the M1 and operate it via telephone. However, I can't run a communication's test and it won't seize...

Thanks. That worked.

I'm ready to install the M1G and have a keypad question. My old keypad (Napco RP854) has 2 white wires connected to a panic button in the bedroom (just an unlite doorbell button). Can I connect the 2 white wires from the doorbell button to the ELK KP2 brown and blue wires? Assuming I can't...

Thanks guys. Just to recap. 1. Get rid of the existing resistors and I don't need the Elk resistors. 2. For the glass breaks I would use the existing MA350 and connect it to one zone or perhaps break it out and connect it to three zones in the elk. If anyone thinks this will not work let...

My 20+ year old Napco Magnum alarm system was fried by lightening and I now have an excuse to install an Elk. I haven't purchased the ELK yet (although I have disconnected the old system and carefully labeled the wires). I have a couple of preliminary questions which I hope someone can assist...

PowerHome supports RS232 right out of the box. I use it to control a receiver and a speaker/amp selector switch. You do have to write simple macros though to control the functions of the RS232 devices. I'm not sure whether that's necessary for the other software mentioned.

PowerHome +1. Perhaps start the poll again using upstateMike's list as suggested by 123?

I would second Digger's suggestion to try PowerHome. By the end of the month, it should also support UPB. So with one software package you'll be able to try Insteon and UPB. In fact you will be able to run Insteon and UPB devices both from PowerHome at the same time. It also has full...

keepersq, What monitor are you using with the Wyse and PH? ELo or another touchscreen?

I use PowerHome, NeoSpeech voices, and an AB8SS speaker selector switch with 8 zones. The AB8SS is controlled through RS232 through my computer and accepts 2 inputs (1 from my PC and one from my AV Receiver). It's output is any combination of the 8 zones. I, like you, set everything up and...

I'm running 1.03.4.9. The latest. It works very well.

I have had problems with USB-UIRT receiving IR commands causing a PH trigger to fire and send other IR commands to other equipment . It sometimes locks up PH. It might be that the USB-UIRT has trouble receiving and blasting at virtually the same instant. I actually have the external output...
