My Father-in-law/Mother-in-law have a 25 year old unmonitored DSC system with all the door/window/motions they need. They don't want to pay the $50/month monitoring, plus the codes are long since forgotten. They had a strange scare with a dude coming up to the door, plus burglaries are rising in NorCal so now they're contemplating redoing it. We owe them many favors so I figured I'd install an Elk for them. I know I can just get an EZ8, but I know the M1G layout (re-doing entire main board now as I had to tear it off the wall due to a rebuild of the room) so to keep life simple for me I figure I'll just put that in.
I'll let them pick KP1 vs KP2, but wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions. I will *NOT* be installing an HA controller (CQC, Homeseer, etc) so I'll look into the various Elk-supported software / app control options (they are an iOS family).
