Is it safe to power cycle the M1 without a firmware?

I do not know if the M1 rebooted.  How can I roll it back?   I only have the 5.3.0 and 5.2.10 firmwares.  I have tried loading both with no success.

I was attempting to update my Elk M1G to the latest firmware 5.3.0 using ElkRP2 2.0.20 via the M1EXP which is on v1.3.26.   About halfway through the update the firmware update fails.  And then I am back showing the M1G has an erased firmware.  Everytime I try to update the firmware it fails.  I...

Not sure how your roof is built but mine is just asphalt shingle and a single layer of plywood. Not exactly something difficult to enter through. In fact I would argue the easiest and stealthiest place to enter my house is from the back roof. Not visible from the street and tree cover blocks...

Still weird about the install

Ok so I found them, they were in C:\Program Data\RP

Just recently I have been unable to open ElkRP2. It complains that it can not find the ElkRP2 operators database. It is looking for an C:\Program Files (x86)\ElkRP\Ops2.mdb However it is not there. I use Crashplan for backups and checked that folder back as far as a year ago and that file...

Another DST and another ELK screwup. Like Work2Play it is always right on the day of the change but the day after it goes screwy. ELK this is not a difficult problem to solve, would you PLEASE fix it you should be embarrassed by this bug.

You want to inspect where you think you will be drilling into in the crawl space to make sure you will not hit anything. But you should always drill from above down so you know you are inside the wall.

Sorry mis read surge protector for ups. Oops

I would not put any UPS in a wall mount. They are just too heavy. That 21U you linked to has a load cap of 100 pounds. 1 1500va ups will pretty much eat all that up. If going to a 21 u size why not just get a floor rack? I picked up a 25U APC closed rack on Craigslist for 350.

Not to lighten you issue with damaged files. But that can happen with any card. Which is why I will never own a camera that does not have dual cards. You get a backup the second the photo is taken.

No alarm panel does this. But this made me think of a cool idea. If the alarm panel used a rolling code style pin and you had a phone app that produced the pin for you. Then you would need the phone to enter in your code. Add to it a static pin as you have now and you get 2-factor auth.

So I have a button on my keypad that bypasses the Back door zone for 2minutes. It is called my "Let the Dogs Out" feature :). This works as expected expect one thing. The chime announcement when the bypassed door does not happen. I suspect this is because the Chime does not happen anytime...

So I have been trying to figure out a way to measure temperature thoughout our house without too much effort. I stumbled onto 1-wire which seems it may fit the bill. Our house is an older house built in the 70s but has a phone jack in each room. We do not use the phone lines at all. I...

So you can hear a soft buzz about 3-4 feet away? Mine main concern is if it will fail.

Ok afraid that was the case. Never dealt with smarthome returns hopefully they are not too bad.

Wondering if anyone else with a Keypadlinc notice that it buzzes? I do not have mine controlling any load, however it has a buzz that is noticeable within about 3-4 feet. My SwitchLincs do not buzz

Tonight after almost a year of no issues, I heard my Elk annouce that Keypad 1 module is missing. Sure enough when I check the keypad the backlight is on but the display is blank and appears unresponsive. Note the upstairs keypad was still working correctly and the RF module was still fine...

Rule 3&4 seem redundant. Is this required because of how elk processes the rules? Nvm read it again. And the first part of the if is the trigger.
