    M1XEP went away

    Well, I'm confused by that list. It showed the M1XEP mac address, so I disconnected the cable, and it still showed it for several minutes. So, I restarted the router, and now it doesn't show it, but it also doesn't show my desktop computer, and I have full internet access. So, I question how...

    Elk and UPB

    The switch I can test easily is an HAI 35A00-3 600W non-dimming switch. Yes, I did discover I have to scroll up and down to get the correct status. It reads correct if I use the M1 (motion detector) to turn it on, but not the switch. As I just looked at the UPStart dialogs, there is a checkbox...

    M1XEP went away

    After upgrading to ElkRP 1.6.16, I had problems linking to my M1G, but finally got that to work through the serial cable. So, I upgrade the M1G firmware to 4.4.10, and everything seemed good. But, I needed to make changes the the M1XEP setup (to change how it handles email), and when I sent the...

    Elk Rules timing

    Okay, I'm starting to conclude that the M1G receives link commands (though it has no clue what they do), but does not get lighting changes directly. If that is the case, I now know what to do. Thanks! I've had similar questions on the ELK and UPB thread, so maybe I'll get the answer there...

    Elk and UPB

    Thanks Steve. I saw that UPB stuff in the manual when I was first setting things up several weeks ago, but forgot about it. Now it makes sense on the links. So, if I want the M1G to really know the status of all the lights, the links on my US2-40 really have to not do the lighting changes, but...

    Elk Rules timing

    Thanks Spanky. What I had already added was the other condition. My complete set of rules (for the garage lights) is below. The only problem is that my UPB lights are not reporting off back to the M1G when I turn off the garage lights by using the switch (the second rule never gets invoked)...

    Elk and UPB

    Okay, I'm really confused. I've got an Elk M1G and I'm using UPB, but I see nothing in the ElkRP that refers to links at all. Can I only tell if the button on the controller (SA US2-40) was pressed? And, how do I do that, since all I see is a way to describe device 30 (in my case) to be a...

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    So, I closed out ElkRP, and started it again, and almost everything seems to be working. What I don't understand is why, when I find the M1XEP, and click Use Selected, nothing happens (no option to Send or Receive) on that dialog.

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    Okay, I tried ElkRP 1.6.12 (on a separate computer), same results. I tried the direct serial connection, and got errors detecting the serial port settings. I got frustrated, and went and updated some UPB settings directly through UPStart. I went back and tried the direct connect on COM1, and it...

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    thanks, I'll try that. But then why can I not connect through the Mozilla browser?

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    And, I just now did get the Mozilla browser app to respond. But, when I enter my user code, I get a message saying "Your control is busy or unavailable. Retry?" -- and that is just after turning the control on.

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    no, I didn't update the panel firmware first. I meant to do that afterwards, but forgot. I'll try to connect directly, but I do connect -- it says "Verifying System Identity" (which fails), and then says "System Returned Invalid Info"

    Cannot Connect to M1G

    I can no longer get ElkRP to connect to my M1 (thourhg the ethernet port) -- this was working fine until last night. I upgraded ElkRP to 1.6.16 yesterday and later was changing rules. All seemed to work okay. But now, when I try to connect, it connects, but fails on the verify. When I go into...

    Elk Rules timing

    Thanks. That makes sense. Just to make sure I understand, since I have no output expanders, I just use output 55 (for instance), and since nothing is hooked up, the M1 is happy?

    Elk Rules timing

    I want to turn off my garage lights 5 minutes after I close the garage door, if there has been no motion detected in the garage for one minute. What is the best way to set up the rules to do this? I know I can set a counter to 10 when the door closes, then do a WHENEVER every 30 seconds and...

    Setting up UPB and Elk M1

    Thanks for this thread and forum -- solved my problem since I had not setup the Network Id. My lighting is now working, but I still have a couple of questions. I don't see the M1XSP in ElkRP -- should I? And if so, where? I got it enrolled, and since the lights turn on/off, it is obviously...

    new Elk M1 install by newbie

    Everything but the fire alarm, that is. I'll have to see if Home Depot has fire alarm wire. Thanks for the responses!

    new Elk M1 install by newbie

    Okay, I must have misread the Cat5 box at Home Depot, because it definitely said Cat5e plenum or riser (two types). So maybe I should just buy the 500 foot roll and use it for everything?

    new Elk M1 install by newbie

    Just got the M1 Gold for security and lighting control. I've got some really basic install questions I could use help with. 1) I got the 28" box I'm putting in a bedroom closet. Should I surface mount it or recess it into the wall. I can get to the attic above the closet easily, so wiring is...

    Four Wire Smoke Detector question

    So, if I only have one smoke detector on the M1, do I still need the end of line relay?
