Hi RAL and drvnbysound,   I had to go build a win 8 pc yesterday because all my machines are win10, so no ethernet access on that firmware. Such a pain installing a PC just to update firmware. I'll give it a swing through the remote software, see if that's easier than the keypad.   Thanks for...

Hi RAL,   Thanks very much for the info. Apologies for the delay. Finally getting back to sorting all this out today.   Cheers,   Alan

Hi all,   So I got my the honeywell receiver up and running, but a motion sensor registered twice, so it's on two channels (I don't believe it's a multichannel device), and I haven't been able to find a way to remove the enrollment which I don't want.   If I try just go over it, then I get an...

Damn, I knew I'd forgotten something. I don't have phone service, but the old line is still here (and hooked into the ADT system). Is there any reason to hook it up to the M1?   Cheers,   Alan

Hi all,   I'm in the middle of replacing my ADT alarm system with an Elk M1 and ISY-994i, and I'm currently trying to figure out whether there's a way I can hook my existing thermostat in to these systems. It's a Honeywell of some kind, but I can't see a model number on the front.   Any tips on...

Thanks, RAL. This is great info.    So, I'm fairly sure I understand what my next steps are now to hook this up.    Once the M1XRF2H arrives, I'll need to hook it up to the data bus. For the moment, the only thing I have which needs to hook up there is the keypad. If I've understood correctly, I...

I'd also love recommendations on where to get cabling, contacts, etc.

hi RAL and DEL,   Thanks for the advice. I've taken the lazy option of grabbing the M1XRF2H to get all the existing ones up and running, and I'll run cable for the new sensors.   Cheers,   Alan

Oh, and the option of wiring it all is totally there, too. Any recommendations for best practices for doing this would be great. I'm going to run cat6 throughout the house, which I've yet to find a less unfun way to do, but I'd guess running security and camera wires at the same time isn't going...

Hi all,   So I've just purchased an Elk M1 Gold, the ethernet expansion, an ISY-994i, and powerlinc modem. (The kit of these stuff from SmartHome specifically).   I seem to be in a situation similar to that from another thread on here where someone was shifting from an ADT system to Elk. Though...
