I think I have found a way to temporarily disable a zone based on the user that disarmed system. In this case, I have a glass break that has triggered when maid was in home cleaning. She has her own time-windowed code. The problem is she will not have the password for alarm verification. The...

I have an Elk-M1RF2G setup. I am having some trouble with a GE NX-650 Wireless sensor (http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/GESDownload?ID=5006&DID=1893&documenttype=Data%20Sheet). It has stopped working for some unexplained reason. The sensor is installed in non-conditioned shed. This sensor has...

I have a keypad located near kitchen area. This rule emulates a multi-light zone controller – albeit at a much cheaper price. The fade rate can adjusted based on entry and exit requirements. Pressing F6 on M1KP1 turns on all the lights listed below. Pressing F6 again turns all the lights off...

I had originally started to reply to a post that indicated Elk was interrupt driven and polling is inefficient. Therefore polling cannot be implemented. I keep hearing comments that M1XSP modules cannot implement polling effectively. I am not privy to M1XSP internal architecture, but I thought I...

I have a problem consistently turning off multiple lights using ElkM1XSP and Vizia+ VRCOP modules. The documentation seems to indicate the ‘opt’ field is not required if M1XSP is used. The only way that I can consistently get all the lights to turn off is: Use a Z-Wave group command Set...

I just installed the six Leviton LEV-VRI06 Vizia+ Dimmers. Everything except this feature seems to be working correctly. I have spent the better part of 5 hours trying to work through why the “FOR†clause is not causing my lights to turn OFF after specified amount of time elapses. I have...

It would be nice if Elk sold a higher resolution keypad – probably on par with a smart-phone screen. The keypad could display weather, critical appointments, date/time, daily energy usage, reminders, etc… Two primary considerations are cost and ElkRP rules integration. Since this is more of...

It would be nice if Elk developed (and released) a software emulator/simulator that would better help test out rule bases without deploying them first (Example: http://www.crestron.com/solutions/e-contro...l_emulator.asp). The emulator would provide an interconnected graph of all the keypads...

Is there any way to test alarm without having to disconnect output 2 sirens? I am using an Elk 100 and Elk 1RT speaker. Since the alarm system is supposed to be checked once a month, I wanted to figure out a simple process to facilitate this practice. In particular, the test mode should reduce...

I sent inquiry to Elk technical support about new GE DesignLine wireless sensors. The new sensors appear to meet the ITI/Crystal criteria and specifications seem to match supported products. Technical support indicated the sensors are being evaluated and will be added to the officially...

I have been looking through all the pictures and posts of ELK setups, and there are some clean installations. I wish the Elk black package was “plug-n-play†compatible with Leviton SMB. I have thought of several ways to install the Elk, but there is no clear choice. 1) Buy Leviton 12"...
