I want to replace my current security system with an Elk so I can integrate it with my HA system but I’m not entirely sure of everything I need to get. I know I need this stuff:
ELK-M1GKS (Control + Transformer + M1KP2 Keypad + Battery + Speaker + RJ31X Jack & Cord)
ELK-SWB28 (Structured Wiring Box)
ELK-M1XIN (M1 16 Zone Input Expander)
ELK-M1XEP (Ethernet Port Interface)
Various sensors and smoke detectors.
Can I use my existing sensors, door contacts, and smoke detector or what exactly does the ELK-M1DBHR (M1 Data Bus Hub For Retrofit) do? Do I need the ELK-M1DBH (M1 Data Bus Hub) to connect the 16 zone input expander and keypad too, what if I get a second keypad? I’m not too sure about the outputs either, what can you hook up to the 10 low current (50mA) outputs? If you want to use more than one set of speakers (ELK-73) do I need the M1 16 Output Expander? What about if I want to use the strobe lights? Which speakers/sirens can be used outdoors?
For the Proximity Reader do I need both the ELK-M1PR and ELK-106055 or just one or the other? What do I need to use the 4 Button Keyfob? What type of things is the Elk Relay Module used for? Is the Bosch ISMBLP1P better than the Mirror Optic 44 lb Pet Immune Motion Sensor?
Besides the ELK-SWD1 (Grommet Donuts) what other accessories do I need? Did I miss anything in general?
Thanks.
