I'm trying to hookup my new TZ43 thermostats so they work with my Elk M1 system. AutomatedOutlet guys suggested this route since I can't run a cat5 to the thermostat locations for the hard wired thermostats. I have an extra serial port for my elk that is free, and I also purchased a Leviton vizia rf+ serial adapter. To configure the thermostats they recommended using ControlThink, which I have installed on my computer, and the two thermostats are showing up in there, but I'm not sure what other configuration I need to do, and I'm not sure how I make it work with the serial adapter and then elk. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Just to be clear, can you list exactly what you have Elk wise, how you have it configured and what not for the Z-wave support?
I also own an Elk M1G and have been following the Z-wave setup with this appliance for some time. I also use ControlThink as my primary remote for my Leviton Vizia RF network.
If you have this setup that I mention below, sorry just verifying this information.
1. You have an Elk M1G or M1EZ8 panel (without mentioning the G, I can't assume the full panel).
2. You have the Elk-M1XSP module flashed with the specific Leviton Vizia RF firmware Version 20.0.4 (the standard M1XSP firmware wont work).
3. You have a Leviton VRCOP serial module connected to the DB9 interface of the M1XSP.
4. Yout setup your Z-Wave network on the ControlThink software first.
5. You then joined the VRCOP serial module to the network.
6. You updated ElkRP with your Z-wave network information.
Can you confirm if your Tstat is working in ControlThink?
If you can walk through how you have it setup, perhaps one of us fellow Z-wave Elk M1G owners can assist you with some suggestions. Also don't forget that Elk has great support, so don't forget to give them a call before you get too frustrated.
