Hi,Ok.... besides using the Elk for security I am looking for ideas as to what people are using theirs for to do home automation.

My PIRs are dual-technology pet-immune and don't detect my cats. If the garage is opened when I am at home then I will get a voice alert if the door is still open after 5 and 10 minutes. If the system is armed then the garage PIR simply sounds the alarm, it does not release the door.I hope your garage is sealed, I have had mice trip my motion sensor, I am not sure how comfortable I would be with automating that part. I think I would rather install a hidden button.
fwiw, i think this is an outstanding idea. i am trying to write rules right now and tripping over myself learning syntax. if i could see examples of how people have written what i am looking to do, it would be a huge time savings.Actually that is a great idea. Maybe Dan could make that thread 'sticky' so it stays on top for people to find.

I would like some homeautomation ideas for the Elk outputs seeing as I have them to use. In fact lets develop a list of all inputs (analog and digital) and outputs. Right now I have my wireless sensors all working great with no glitches for 3 months now. I am looking to expand the Elk use now.
