As mentioned initially in this thread, my elk went a little nuts this am. I checked out the log, also remembered one other thing i'll list below. I'm sure it's probably operator error, but any help diagnosing this would be much appreciated. Wife is pretty bugged that the whole thing went nutsoid, so i'm hoping to resolve it all very quickly.
The log is 99.9% boring, just a bunch of ethernet troubles (happening for months). 4 minutes after arming, the motion sensors all started freaking out. Then, 10 minutes and nearly 100 log entries later, there's a "control over current trouble" entry.
But, here's something else I remembered: Last night the Elk was reporting low battery/over-current. I hadn't done anything elk related but I did do some a/v stuff so I went to make sure that no wires got moved. I turned off the elk and turned it on, then just had "Low Battery". I did the user menu thing and it only showed .8A being drawn.
I figured that since it was on A/C power, low battery wasn't the end of the world and life was fine. This am has me wondering though, whether the Elk is inaccurately reporting the load, and whether it's running out of juice somewhere and I need to put that 2nd power supply in that I have.
Any clues? Does that log entry of "control over current trouble" mean anything? How about that "Low Battery"?
