When I look at the logs for my M1G I see multiple entries of ETHERNET TROUBLE followed immediately by ETHERNET RESTORE. Is this related to CQC or is it something with the ELK? I'm on HW ver 0.11, Boot ver 3.2.2, firmware 4.4.12. The M1EXP is firmware 1.2.8 and bootware 1.1.4.

Hope this is an appropriate forum for this post. Anyone bought a Nuvo Grand Concerto from an e-bay seller? I see a bunch of them including keypads for a really low price. Does Nuvo provide a warranty on these? or only for purchases from a licensed retailier? Seems like purchasing with a credit...

OK, this is really odd. After having FIOS installed I wanted to test to make sure ELK could still talk to NextAlarm. So, I put my NextAlarm acct in test mode. Then i arm the ELK and go to trigger the motion sensor in a hallway. Alarm goes off as expected and I immediately disarm system. Then, I...

I just got A/C installed and decided to go with a heat pump instead of just an A/C unit. The interesting part of it though is that at certain temperatures I need to have the system switch over to use the gas furnace for heating instead of the heat pump. I have an RCS TR40 thermostat so that I...

Does anyone have a rain sensor hooked up to their Elk? Any recommendations on reasonably priced ones? Just have an idea for a project involved the Elk but want to make sure I can have a Zone tell me if its raining or not.

I have my Insteon up & running very reliably. 38 devices installed so far (mostly SwitchLincs and Icons) and working great with CQC for individual control. I now want to get some lighting groups/scenes setup and also move some of the control over to the Elk. I have a couple lights that come on...

I have one keypad that regularly shows a much higher temp (8 degrees on avg) than the other keypads and is also higher than a digital thermometer in the same room. Is there a way to recalibrate the temp sensor in the keypad?

In looking at my ELK logs I'm seeing a larger number of "ETHERNET TROUBLE" and "ETHERNET RESTORE" error messages. They seem to happen right after each other and at no set interval. Sometimes they are <10 mins apart, other times they are 30+ mins apart. Could this be caused by CQC? Any...

I'm trying to figure out the best (and hopefully inexpensive) way in which to re-use my existing in-ceiling speakers for broadcasting both CQC & Elk announcements. My current system consists solely of Sonos players for each zone. At first, I was thinking I'd get a basic RS-232 controllable...

I know its a repost of my post in Home Automation, but posting here since its the ELK forum and I have now apparently narrowed the issue down to the ELK side of things. Latest update : I decided to purchase a cheapy RS485/RS232 adapter from a friend and tried it out tonight. The RCS software...

I finally got my media room mostly setup now. it's got some very cool stuff in it but right now it's all separate. 1 - Hunter Douglas PowerRise light-blocking blinds (IR Control) 2 - Insteon light control. One for main sitting area, one for wet bar 3 - Equipment stack of Pio VSX82TXS, Sony CD...

Hoping someone on here can help out. The thermostat works fine on it's own. I hooked up the M1SP today and it was enrolled just fine by ELK. But when I try to see it on the keypad I get a message of "thermostat not enabled". Any ideas? btw, I verified the thermostat is at address 1.

I have the sensors installed and working great with my ELK. Even have the keypad button light up when one is open :) Only problem is that I'm not sure what type of definition to use on them. When doing testing I had them set as 'Burglar Entry Exit 2' but I'm not sure if that will work for me...

I am trying to get my 2nd keypad setup on the ELk but am running into problems with it. I am hooking it up through a DBH and have verified the wiring. I have set the addres on it to 2. When I power up the system the keypad shows the system info and then just shows "Lost Comm.". I tried with a...

After my post here, I went with a mutliple DBH setup to simplify wiring. However, its not working with the first thermostat. Any ideas? I have connected: DBH1 in the enclosure with the ELK. Keypad 1 in position 1 Crossover Cable to DBH2 in position 2 Terminating resistor in position 3 DBH2...

I don't see anything saying that this is not possible, but I want to check before I do it. My plan is to have 2 keypads downstairs along with at least 5 wired sensors. I bought an Input Expander to put in the crawlspace so I wouldn't have to run the 5 wires up to the attic and then down into...

OK, I think I have an idea on how to do this but wanted to run this by everyone. I have my phone in one wiring enclosure that is a good bit away from the ELK. The enclosure has the Open House H616 (H616 Product Info) and I have an extra Cat5 wire already run from the phone panel to the ELK. My...

OK, so it hadn't occured to me that the ELK main unit would not align with the standard mounting holes on an Leviton enclosure. What is the best way to moutn the ELK into the Leviton? Do I just use two of the C-0309 plates? Or is there a better plate. Also, as i start adding in my wireless...

Besides the new flush keypad having two fewer function keys, and it not having space enough for a card reader in it, are there any other difference between the two? I order a kit with the newer style keypad but received the old one. I like the look of the new ones better but if there are...

I've been trying to find info on this online but only seem to find $40 adapters for RS232-RS485. I have a new TR40 that is installed a working fine. My Elk isn't setup yet but I want to verify communication with the TR40. Are there wiring diagrams for a adapter to go from a DB9 serial port to...
