I was hoping someone could assist me. I am in the process of evaluating an Elk M1 Gold as a replacement to my current alarm panel. I'm especially interested in integrating the panel for internet access with the addition of the ELK-M1XEP ethernet interface. My ultimate goal is to have both an email ( to work) and/or text message (to my phone) sent based on certain events. I'd really prefer to do this from my own internet connection and not a central monitoring company. If I can't do this then there is really no sense in me spending a lot of time and money upgrading my current panel.
So a couple questions:
1) has anyone done this successfully yet and could they share their experience.
2) Is there documentation that more fully explains the programming capability of the Elk M1 (via the RM software)?
I saw a section in the Elk M1 installation Guide (pg 49 PC Programming and Automation Capabilities) where it gives a couple of examples but it seem almost like an overview. I was also able to find an ElkRM Remote Management Software Setup Manual & User Guide but other then installing the software and some basic configuration it doesn't go into hardly any detail relating to the programming capabilities of the Elk M1.
For the programming, i'm looking for a technical reference manual that goes into the programming options in detail and also outlines what events can be detected and responded to.
Does such a document exist?
Thanks in advance,
David
