An update - I was able to successfully upgrade my M1G bootware from 3.3.2 to 3.3.6 and the firmware from 5.1.20 to 5.2.10, all seems to be ok - a few days running and checking stuff will tell for sure. Had a bit of a scare though - during my first attempt to update the bootware, it aborted after...

  Thank-you both for the prompt replies. I think I'm OK regarding the SSL issues - I have a windows 7 desktop that's dedicated for all this stuff, and that I currently run ElkRP2 on (2.0.20) talking to the M1XEP at 1.3.28. I stopped windows updates on this PC years ago (when Win 7 updates were...

Although over a year later, thought I'd add my two cents.... I use several counters in countdown mode in various rules, but I always check for a zero value before decrementing. I'm not sure what Elk rules do when decrementing a counter value of zero, but in other programming contexts it often...

  Hi RAL, thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to work that out. My system has been chugging along for about ten years and I haven't really fooled with it for quite awhile because things were pretty much working, but I've been forced back into reacquainting myself with all the details and...

Yes, I know it's five years later now, but just wanted to thank the above posters (in case they're still active here) for maintaining the availability of the M1G firmware release note files for older versions - I've been having a hard time finding them anywhere. Now if I can only find out where...

FWIW, I recently upgraded from an old ISY99 to the ISY994, which shipped with firmware 5.3.0. After I installed it, several of my Elk-controlled dimmers were only getting set to a fraction of the dim level as specified in the Elk rules - and not 50% vs 100%, but (for example) set to 22% when the...

Well, I actually am an Engineer :-). az1324 is correct - I could simply have the webcontrol at my Dad's house do the processing of the motion detects and email me only when they stop. I guess this would be my fall-back if I can't do what I really want to do. But there's a couple of reasons...

Hi, yes, thanks, the programming of the webcontrol response I know how to do - the problem is how to inform the webcontrol that an email has been received in the first place. Since neither the webcontrol, the Elk, or the ISY99 is able to receive (and report receipt) of an email - please...

Thanks for the replies. I ran across Elve in my search, but what I'm looking for is something small and low power that I can just wire up to a webcontrol or Elk input. I don't want to involve software running on a PC or smartphone, that would have to always be on and running the app. On the...

Hello, I have an Elk M1 with M1XEP, an ISY99i, and an attached webcontrol board, all up and running on my LAN and working well, but like many of you here I am continuously upgrading/adding/enhancing. What I would like to do next is add a feature whereby I can install another webcontrol at my...

Thanks for the reply. I'm tempted to just pay the $99 as you suggest, but was searching for opinions on whether the extra $50 is worth it. In other words, how well does the camera and DVR viewing in eKPro work (equipment supported, features, etc) as opposed to other viewing options that I might...

Hello, I'm trying to determine which version of eKeypad to purchase. I've had an M1G in operation for a year but am just now working on bringing up the M1XEP and also adding a DVR and cameras. My question is whether to spring for the extra $50 for eKpro, or just get eKM1 for $50. I don't need...
