Thank you for the advice.   Given that the home is finished, including the basement, and 12v wiring was not run throughout, what would you recommend I do?  I would like to monitor fire on my M1G, and running new wiring throughout my home is not an option....  only place I could put a 12v smoke...

All,   Looking for some advice on how to wire the Kidde SM120x relay from my smoke detectors to my ELK M1G.  I am unsure which wires I should be using to connect the relay to the M1G, and whether a smoke alarm should be NO, NC, etc...   I've attached the manual for the SM120x, and would...

sorry, yes I do!  Still have the issue! 

Issue we continue having...   When the alarm is armed, either in instant away or away, the second one of our zones is violated (wireless door sensor primarily), the siren instantly goes off.  There is no time to disarm the keypad.  I believe the motion sensor near that door is the culprit to...

Only 1 device went dark (M1DBH), and it's connected directly to the bus.  All wires check out ok.  I did a power cycle and the M1DBH is working again, just can't afford to have this happen again, with some travel happening soon and a wife who won't appreciate endless beeping! 

Haven't touched the connections since I installed it a year ago, and everything looks good there...  The DBH is directly connected to the bus, with the other end of the bus going to my other expansion modules (RFEG, M1XSP, M1X1N). 

All,   Have been running my M1 Gold for a year now, and at 5am this morning, one of my keypads started beeping, and I got a serial expander error message on the screen.  This particular keypad is on the bus directly, while my other 2 keypads run through the M1DBH (they are the only 2 items on...

It is the door opening that is setting off the alarm.    Door is entry/exit 1 and motion is set to follower, but when I open the door, before the wireless signal is received, the motion picks up the door opening and immediately sounds the alarm.  So, every time I come home, I have the sirens go off!

Will gladly ask it there as well.    Had no issues with the two until I performed the update on the M1XEP...  Anyone have any insights?

All,   I just upgraded the firmware on my M1XEP to V2.0.22 and am now having issues with my ISY994.  It seems that the two will not communicate.  I have tried both the secure and unsecure ports in the ISY config, but no luck.    Any thoughts? 

Still waiting for my alarm company to get back to me....  they do accept reporting by IP, but only 2 senior techs know how to program it.  Silly.    Another question:   I have a wireless sensor for one door.  I've set the motion sensor near that door to "follower" mode, but even with the slight...

There are no instructions in the manual about needing to port forward. Is there somewhere I can look. I've set up the lan and wan already. I think all is good there. I connect my iPads on the lan and some of the time I can connect through the wan with my ekeypad

Not an IT expert. The alarm company provided me with the IP address and port for the reporting, and I added in my account number. It's the DSC format. Anything specifc I need to configure?

I have to call on Monday evening. Apparently the weekend folk don't know how to help with IP based reporting technical support. Should I just arm the system and then open a door and not enter my password until the siren goes off to test if the alarm is reporting? I'm using The Monitoring Centre

So, I've changed to reporting via IP and now am getting an Ethernet trouble message on my keypads. I can access my m1xep without any issues and my ekeypad iPads are connected constantly with no issues. Any thoughts?
