locally through the serial port - then accessing that computer either via VNC or a web-interfaced on that computer.

What's the cheapest software solution to interface with the ELK panel (besides ELK-RP) I want something I can control via a web interface. I don't want to purchase the ethernet adapter. thanks

Thanks, Jeff - the XTB came and solved my X10 problems - hopefully forever!

So just terminate the new keypad, not the old one also? thanks

Now I know why people have a love/hate relationship with X10 - it's been working great for me for 2 months.. Suddenly, today, two switches no longer respond. I thought it was the switch so I swapped them out for new ones - still no response. I went around the house unplugging almost every...

I currently have 1 keypad controller, so JP3 is jumpered on the main ELK board. I want to add another keypad to the master bedroom using a pre-exisitng 4-wire cable. When I add the second controller, will I then jumper terminate each of those keypads or will simply jumper terminating JP3 on...

forgive me for being dense - I can make a rule that states if .... then speak "door is open", but that defaults to output 1, the indoor speakers.. I can also make rule that says, if ... then turn output 5 on for 30 sec - which is for a bell/siren/flashing lights.. how would i turn on the...

toymaster: will it be able to handle speech if going through a relay or only alarm/siren sounds? could you give me some more details on setting the outside speaker on relay and the associated rules to make this work? thanks

anyway I can set it up so that all messages/chimes are played in the indoor speakers but only certain messages are played to the outdoor speakers? I flipped through the manual, doesn't seem to be a different set of voice speakers output, does there?

Please excuse this stupid question: when you are wiring up elk speakers (for voice annoucements) - how many 8 ohms speakers can you safely wire to output 1? should you wire in parallel or serially? also, could you recommend the proper speaker for outdoor usage? I already have a siren...

I use mine with a VOIP carrier also.. set the number of ring to ABOVE what it takes for Vonage to send your call to voicemail. I set mine to 10 - doesn't really matter.. my VOIP sends my calls to voicemail after 5 rings.. Now, call home, let it ring once then hangup.. wait about 15 seconds...

Any advice on retrofitting a outdoor fountain switch? Basically it looks like a big outdoor whether-proof switch - I'm sure it has the usual ground/load/line wires. What are my options for hooking this up to X10? Are there any outdoor X10 siwtches? thanks

ditto about the WAF - i didnt' even notice the bug until the wife complained that none of the hallway lights were turning on with motion (IF DARK dependent) anymore... i acutally don't know how I managed to reboot the ELK.. I was messing around on the keypad renaming some zones and bam - 3...

sorry for brining up this old thread/how-to.. can this be adapted to the ELK M1 somehow? Can the elk's output trigger the remote or would you need a relay in between? thanks BSR

Is the a way to force the ELK to trigger an alarm? eventually I will buy the wireless CADDX adapter and a wireless FOB - however, I am currently using X10 wireless FOB. I want to set a rule: WHEN A10 (wireless X10 trigger) is ON THEN trigger BURGULAR ALARM - I want to do this as a...

Figured it out - think this should count as a bug. When you disable voice from the OUT1 speakers, this also disables the lady and her prompts. I was trying to use my phone to arm my alarm at night when the voice had been turned off and it didn't work..

Via lcoal/call-in phone, I somehow have my ELK stuck in remote programming mode. It's no longer providing me with voice prompts for password, press 1 for alarm status etc. Instead, I see in the log that whenever I press ***, I've entered 1363 "remote programming mode" instead of remote...

Has the lirght/dark outside "bug" after reset been fixed? None of my light/dark rules are working so I presume, no? i am completely uptodate with firmware 4.3.12 and elkrp 1.68. this bug is pretty annoying.

I have one of the el cheapo X10 decora switch rated at 500W - I think I may be overloading my sets of front porch lights - there's three overhead lights with 3 bulbs each - chandelier type bulbs - probably 40w - can't see, it's too high... but that would be 360W. Two lower wall lights also tied...

can someone explain to me the proper setting for "rings until auto-answer" and Ring/Hang-up/Answer to allow the M1 to intercept a call? I don't want it to auto-answer on the first call-in but want to be able to ring/hang-up, redial and have it answer. I have Rings until auto-answer set to 10...
