Thanks for the info.  I was thinking the data hub plugged into the RJ45 connector on the ez8 where the MSI serial connector plugged in (J5).   I totally spaced out on the J10 connector of the hub.  I'll check things more carefully next time.  It was good to get a confirmation before I spend $180...

Hi all,   It has been about 5 years since I last posted here, but I know this is the place to get great help!   I have an M1EZ8 that I have been using for basic perimeter security and interior motion, and I use the M1EZ8MSI serial hub to connect for programming.  I have three keypads, but only...

Great! I'll wait to see what you propose as the best solution. Thank you.

Thank you all for reading, and for the replies. I have responded to KanaK, and will see where that route gets me. Does anyone want on comment on whether or not an Elk system would be a good easy route for this project? It doesn't look like Kanak uses Elk, but I am curious because I have an...

I have a small custom fountain business in Utah, and have a client in Chicago who wants to have the fountain pumps and all of the lighting controllable or programmed from one location, just inside the condo from his terrace. He has conduit in place to run the controlls from inside to outside...

Spanky, Thank you! What you described with the second sensor to re-arm after a period of inactivity is exactly what I originally wanted, but thought it might be asking to much (remember I have not even installed RP yet to play around). Hopefully I will get my serial connection box today and...

Thank you rfdesq. I was pretty sure Elk RP would be able to handle this situation, but wanted to know this week so I can get the boxes placed and wire run before the 4-way inspection on the house on Monday. ;) I have the software but have not tried it yet - I'm still waiting for other system...

Hello all- I'm trying to plan sensor placement and possible rules/conditions I could create with my Elk M1EZ8. I am trying to address the desire to setup a very secure system, but still have a little freedom from motion sensors at night, but only under a specific condition. I want to setup...

Hello, I'm new here and have been reading many articles for the last week - great info. I just bought an Elk M1EZ8 and want to get a wireless receiver to use with key FOBs. I see the NX-548e is much cheaper, and I understand that the ELK receiver has more zones AND can be located away from...
