My goal is to use the elk plug so that I can control my alarm system in Homeseer.

After the elk is configured and Homeseer is started, this is the error message that I got:

Step taking thus far:

1. I have shut down both the elk board and Homeseer several times to no avail.
2. I have re-initialize elk plug-in several times, also to no avail.

Any help to get this problem solved is appreciated
 
I was talking to someone else about this same problem recently. Is your router set up correctly?
 
I use HomeSeer and the M1, but I use Electron's my.elk script to interface the two. I suggest you also post this on the HS forum for the plugin you are using. Are you using Mark's or Ultra's plugin?

Yes, it was setup correctly. I even replaced the router in case that was the problem. I should also add that I have the same set up in my house for the past four years that works flawlessly. The one giving problem is for my office. Sorry for the late reply!

Sorry for the late reply -- I use both Elkrp and, ultra's plugin. It is posted at Homeseer forum as well.
 
I switched to Ultra's plugin after problems with the other HS plugin. Seemed to me the other lost support, but perhaps that has changed in the last year or so. Anyway, Ultra's plugin works well for me so you may wish to give it a try.
