    Need help connecting an ELK M1 Gold to a Johnson Controls PowerManage monitoring station

    Hi Dwalt; Thanks for that information. Yes, Tyco does own DSC. I guess I'm up a creek trying to connect my ELK M1G to it then. Unless there is some sort of a Bridge available that translates it all. Although the PPT I saw on this PowerManage did show a DSC- SurGard connecting to the PowerManage...

    Need help connecting an ELK M1 Gold to a Johnson Controls PowerManage monitoring station

    Greetings; I'm sitting in Colombia, where ELK is virtually unknown, but DSC is very popular. Our gated community has a brandnew Johnson Controls PowerManage alarm monitoring station. Since ELK is unkown, the first reaction from the technician was " it won't work with the monitoring station"...

    Same SSID for 5+ APs to connect slew of Sonoffs?

    Hi @LarrylLix , That's useful information and confirms my experience. Unfortunately I triggered on the previous post and started converting. 95% of my IoT devices are stationary. In fact they are Sonoff/Tasmotas, which reside within 2-3feet of my APs (all controlled load wires lead to...

    Same SSID for 5+ APs to connect slew of Sonoffs?

    Thanks for the information @ano . Just like you, i live outside the city, but my neighbors are mostly cows. And they don't have wifi, it seems. I just scanned my area networks and only one neighbor's 2.4&5g shows up. All others are mine. Where I am at one extreme of the house, one SSID is at...

    Same SSID for 5+ APs to connect slew of Sonoffs?

    Thanks for the reply. Will try to move to single SSID... Just checked for a ruckus AP on Amazon, Ruckus R750 Wireless Access Point https://a.co/d/hJrLjmD. $1,800!!! That's more than 20x a Netgear or Ubiquity....

    Same SSID for 5+ APs to connect slew of Sonoffs?

    Thanks for that information @pete_c . Any comments on whether I can use tue same SSID name across all 5 APs, with out confusing all of my devices? When I initially installed the system, it was set up with a single SSID name , but it ran very unstable. Made many changes, including upgrading from...

    Same SSID for 5+ APs to connect slew of Sonoffs?

    Greetings from Colombia. I haven't posted for a while, because all was working well. My ISP even 20x'ed my fiber connection without asking for a penny more. And that, considering they haven't raised prices in 5 years! Anyway, i have about 100 Sonoff/Tasmota switches running off a UD ISY/Polisy...

    Can't delete M1XIN zones, can't add Areas...

    Hello RAL, The previous panel had Area 6 (camera triggers) defined, but didn't have a zone assigned to it. So I'm somewhat puzzled as to why transferring this database to the new panel would cause it to refuse to save it in such a weird way... Lesson learned: make sure each area has at least...

    Can't delete M1XIN zones, can't add Areas...

    Follow up on the AREA problem.   Here's what I was told by ELK:   "Assign one Zone  Definition 16 Non-Alarm, Type 2 – Normally Open and retest"   That worked. The whole panel is up and running again!

    Can't delete M1XIN zones, can't add Areas...

    Hello RAL   Here's what I ended up having to do to get the system to stop sending me inexistent zones:   1- reboot the system with a G45-99 command from the keypad. 2- power down and power it back up, including all the M1XIN's. 3- upload the database to the system.   Now the phantom zones are...

    Can't delete M1XIN zones, can't add Areas...

    Hi @Ral, Yes, that is correct. Right-clicking to remove #11 seemingly works, until I do a check or i log off and log in again. Then the #11's zones show up as a conflict... The reverse happens with the Areas. I add Area 6 and send it to the panel. After a log off, it's not here any more...

    Can't delete M1XIN zones, can't add Areas...

    Greetings; I recently had to replace my M1 Gold and M1XEP. 5.3.10 and 5.0.46 respectively. RP is 2.0.40. Once I received the new units, I updated the SN in the M1XEP, found the new M1XEP IP and uploaded the DB to the panel. Initially it didnt want to receive all of the data. I didnt think much...

    ELK M1 not communicating to M1XEP anymore

    Thanks RAL. I'll have to dig into how to disable telephone reporting. From the keypad to boot! I'm guessing that is a default setting, which I would not have changed. Maybe the ELK is trying to report by telephone that the RS232 isn't working anymore? I did look at the event log on my touch...

    ELK M1 not communicating to M1XEP anymore

    Hi RAL;   - I don't have a phone line connected to the unit at all. The M1XEP is handling communications.   - The FIND MAC ID and the label match. (and yes, I did have that funny ID problem in the past on a different system)   - I don't have a USB-232 dongle, only a USB-485 dongle. will need to...

    ELK M1 not communicating to M1XEP anymore

    Greetings;   Something weird happened while I was overseas. I stopped being able to access the M1 remotely.   When I came back home, I noticed that the ELK wasn't communicating with my ISY994 anymore either.   ELK communicates via IP (M1XEP), not POTS.     Normal behavior:   - all dry contact...
