I am planning on purchasing an Elk security panel in the next few weeks. I have not yet decided if I will get the M1 Gold or the EZ8. I do have a few questions about the hardware required to achieve my ultimate goal.
Currently I am using HomeSeer to handle lighting control with X10 devices. I also have a W800RF for my Palm Pads, DS10’s and X10 motion sensors. Once I have the Elk installed I will move all lighting control to it.
After reading through the forums, Automated Outlet and the Elk website I have determined that I need the following hardware to accomplish this.
EZ8 Configuration:
1 - ELK-M1EZ8KB Control Package Kit
1 - M1EZ8 Main Serial Interface – For ElkRP programming and PLC Interface
1 - M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat Interface, Serial Port Expander – W800RF Interface
M1 Gold Configuration
1 – M1GSYS4 Control Package Kit (RS232 and PLC ports included)
1 - M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat Interface, Serial Port Expander – W800RF Interface
I also assume that if I wanted to be able to provide PC monitoring/control of the panel, such as the my.Elk script, I would need an additional M1XSP for either configuration.
If I have missed anything please let me know.
Thanks
Rick
