Just to follow up, I was able to fix the issue by using the keypad installer programmer menu and enrolling them again via learn-mode. Maybe my local RP2 database somehow got corrupted, I'm still not sure exactly why this problem occurred, but at least there is a way to resolve it.

  It is only the ones I recently added - all 10 of them show the Lost Transmitter error as soon as the supervision timeout time passes (I set it to 4 hours to speed up troubleshooting). I have lots of other sensors, including 3 identical TX-E611 flood sensors, which are working fine still.   ...

I have a GE Wireless Crystal receiver (ELK-M1XRF2G) and I added some flood sensors to it (TX-E611) using the RP2 software, and they are losing supervision right away. I think it's because I checked the wireless "enabled" box before I typed in the transmitter ID code (there is a warning about...

  Thank you for your answer. I wanted to update the thread in case anyone in the future is looking at the same situation and finds it.    I ended up going with the much cheaper CT101 for $43 - I figured it wasn't worth an extra $120 to to with a TZ45 or an Omnistat2 just to be able to view the...

  Did the TZ45 report temperatures back to the Elk without polling? 

I currently have two CT100 thermostats which have been fine - I have never been able to get them to report temperatures to the Elk, and all of my programming requires me to do loops that set everything 5 times to make sure the settings actually work 99% of the time, but they have been OK for the...

I currently have a Swann DVR (SWDVR-94200) with 5 960H cameras (connected via coax) and my main unit died. I have never really liked it, and I want to replace the Swann DVR system with something better as long as I have to buy a new one anyway. I have looked around a bit but can't really find...

  Yeah, it seems like I wouldn't have these issues if I had a Leviton outlet. When I ordered I assumed that GE stuff would be fine (and GE was the only "outdoor module" I could really find for my Christmas lights), so I think that part of my problem is that the GE outlets don't associate/provide...

So I figured out what the problem was. I had paid an installer to set up the VRC0P because I didn't have an installer tool, and I paid the same installer to add the new devices a few days ago. After he added them he gave me the Vizia installer fob because he said I was the only person left that...

I also just noticed that the two thermostats are now getting their signals crossed. For example, when I arm the system I set the downstairs thermostat to 60 and the upstairs thermostat to 71 - and now when I arm it, I see the downstairs thermostat bounce from 60 to 71 right away.    I am going...

I tried one more thing to troubleshoot that may add some info... I created a rule:   WHENEVER THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS RECEIVED: "<LOSS^M" THROUGH PORT 1     THEN SAY something   I tried this rule on all ports, not just port 1. With each port active I unplugged the RJ11 cable from the VRCOP-3 and I...

I have an M1 with the M1XSLZW Zwave interface. The Zwave device is connected to Data Branch 2 of the Elk-M1DBHR (Data Bus Hub Retrofit Card). The data bus hub is connected to what I think is the only place on the M1 it can connect - the 4 pins on the bottom right of the board.    I have two...

I don't actually know the outlet is on, all I know is that the elk system told the outlet to turn on. My understanding is that the Elk zwave controller is a controller only, and doesn't really "know" the status of the individual zwave devices like a real zwave controller would. I have had some...

  I have a hot water circulator pump on a zwave outlet that i want to make sure doesn't stay on, so I periodically send it an off signal if it should be off. I also have an outlet hooked up that I control based on temperature, so I just send it an on/off signal based on that every 15 minutes. 

I'm 99% sure this is a stupid question, but is it possible to damage a Zwave switch or outlet by sending repeated signals to it to stay in the same state that it's in?   For example, if an outlet is already on, does it hurt to keep sending it a signal to turn on every minute?    I have an Elk M1...
