Elk M1 email.. I give up

[wuench]

Well, if you found setting it up frustrating, wait until you try to do something useful with it. It's almost not worth using due to the lack of support for dynamic info...

So it looks like a controller may be in my near future... Homeseer? ISY?

I don't know anything about homeseer, but if you really need detailed reports emailed to you, then you will need something else. I have the ISY with the Elk module. The ISY lets you put variable things into the message. For example, it can send you an email reporting the current status of a zone, the temp at one of your keypads, the status of function key led, the status of an output, the voltage at a zone, and other stuff. You can mix and match these strings and put text in between them to make nice sentences in plain English that would make sense to anyone. Plus there is virtually a limitless number of emails available.
