Not sure if I have to use the 120v ones or not yet, been plannin on askin the inspector. I was also thinking, I want a circuit for the house and for each garage, and I'm not sure if I care which smoke is going off within each of those, so long as I know which building it is... so I'm thinkin I...

I found that wisconsin requires "Except for dwellings with no electrical service, smoke detectors required by this section shall be continuously powered by the house electrical service, and shall be interconnected so that activation of one detector will cause activation of all detectors". I'm...

I live in superior wi. Im installing an elk m1 system. Im trying to figure out what smoe detectors to buy... Theres so many choices... 2 wire 4wire low voltage, 120v 3 wire ones... Can anyone point me to some basic info on these as two what the different types do, and particularly what the laws...

id like to switch a load using an ELK 912 relay with 12v dc signal and a 120vac switched load. My problem is ive always understood that one needs to separate 120v from low voltage. So some questions: 1. Using a 912, could i just put this in a regular single gang box, run the 120 and low voltage...

Thanks for the confirmation. This is my first elk install and i donk know how many devices ill have connected to the databus so more than anything im just doin homework identifying parts numbers if i need more...

My M1KPAS has a pigtail that is included with it, but doesn't say what the part number is for the pigtail. In the manual for the M1KPAS it says to connect it with an ELK-WO40A. Turns out I think this is an RS232 connector...? This doesn't look right, can anyone confirm that this is a typo in the...

I'd like to add some automation to my garage and house. I see insteon has a pretty good setup for controlling lights and outlets, using their equipment which ultimately communicates without adding any other wiring, I'm not sure if their wireless, or if they send signals back through the 110v...

Hmm i can paste the url right now but i see the agm will work with t mobile sims and they have a 10 dollar top up which lasts three months so thatd be $3.33/ month which i like. Used with the agm this could be the winner

So I've recently acquired a cabin that doesn't have telephone but has power. I'd like to install a very simple system to notify me via txt of a power failure/return. The idea is some sort of power monitor (amp or voltmeter i guess) that can be hooked to a cell phone or a cellular based device...

Seems odd that elk doesnt seem to have a "factory method" to mount this in the box... All ideas yall brought up seem to be good ones. I was wondering if there was a way to mount it perpendiculaly, now i know.

So my first question. I have a 28" elk panel that im trying to mount an elk serial/ethernet adapter to. The hole pattern is 1-15/16x3-5/8. Ive looked at the elk swp and swp3 which both appear not to fit this pattern. Any suggestions? Rails maybe. Im really supprised in looking at elks website...

No elk touchscreen to integrate with (they seem waaaaay too spendy at $700) but I mighty buy an Ipad or Itouch to put in the wall. Not really looking for remote view/control of DVR. Why would a person want to "Integrate the DVR to change IPS and quality depends on the DVR itself, but any dry...

Hi There, I've bought an ELK M1 security/automation system, but havn't installed it yet. I plan to have window break sensors, window/door open sensors, motion, smoke, co, lel, and cameras. Maybe couple others. I don't know anything at all about the camera/dvr/security system tie in side of...

Anyone have any further thoughts on this?

I'm working on my design for a new install of an ELK M1 system. I want to draw it up, and would like to do so either using Autocad (2005) or Visio. I've asked ELK if they have any sort of template that I could start with that already has the ELK in autocad, but they indicated they don't. Can...

I'm purchasing an Elk M1 system. I'm figuring out all of the sensors I need to do what I want. I'd like to find a temperature sensor for general use. The only one I seem to find is the ELK M1ZTS. Although this looks like it will do exactly what I'm looking for, I'm wondering if theres a cheaper...

I'm considering purchasing an elk m1 gold system, partially to control three buildings worth of thermostats, one house, and two garages. Each should have one thermostat. for the house thermostat, I'd like to be able to set it up on a one month schedule, with different wake up/go to work/home...
