Can a door have just an exit delay in 'Stay' mode?

Here's a helpful response from Elk about connecting an output to an input.

"It is possible to have one of the M1s Low Voltage Outputs connected to a Zone Input but not to the NEG of the zone. Please make sure to assign a Wiring Type of 0 = End of Line Supervised/ RF and you will need to connect the 2.2KΩ Resistor across the ZN and NEG --- in this scenario you will have two wires under the ZN terminal (one from the low voltage output and the other is the resistor). Create your rule to turn on the Output which will cause the zone to go HIGH and appear as Open or Violated."
 
Great to hear.  I have always wondered if there was any danger in overloading something doing that and now I see it is OK.  Thanks for getting someone at Elk to respond.

Thanks for sharing the results - I knew it was possible but it'd been many years since I looked into the details on how.  That's a great solution for situations when you want to trigger an alarm by rule rather than just zone violation (great for garages with custom rules!).
