Add 16 more wireless zones to the Elk M1 Gold

[jmed999]

I have an Elk M1 Gold and I currently use 14 wireless sensors (Zones 17-30).  This only leaves me with zones 31 and 32 as available.  I'd like to add 17 more wireless sensors (Zones 31-47).  I read the manual http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/12839.pdf but it's very confusing.
 
Can someone here guide me through the process of adding zones 32-48?
 
BTW, I use the Elk-M1KPNAV and the ELk M1XRF2G.
 
Thanks in advance!

The M1XRF2G supports up to 144 wireless zones. If you use ElkRP, all you have to do is right-click on Zones (Inputs), and select "New Wireless Zones" and select the next grouping of zones that you want to add (e.g. Group 3, Zones 33-48).

Wow...I had no idea it was that easy!  Thanks a bunch!

Warning though - there's a really annoying bug in the M1 software - if you create more wireless zones and add nothing to them, then on the next resync they'll revert to wired zones.  You have to delete and re-add them again then actually enroll something.

Thanks but not sure I follow.
 
I'm using zones 17-47 so zone 48 has nothing assigned to it.  WIll I have problems?
 
Thanks again!

nah it's just if you create the group of zones and add no wireless transmitters at all.
