Hello,
I also posted this on the Elk board, but trying here too. I installed my M1G a couple weeks ago. Today I removed the keypad to connect some wires up to the auxiliary input and output zones available on the keypad. The output got connected to a small relay, which will open/close to toggle my t-stat (mounted directly above the keypad) between occupied and unoccupied mode. The input got connected to the wires that WERE running to these inputs on the t-stat. The other end of that wire pair goes to an x-10 relay which formerly activated the occupied/unoccupied mode. This will be re-deployed to another purpose, but I went ahead and connected the wires while I was there.
Upon putting the keypad back in place, and powering up the system, the keypad displays "KP Addr->1 Lost. Comm.". A little whilei later, the voice announces "Keypad module missing". The only wire I disturbed was the black wire, which I temporarily disconnected to be able to join the commons from the relay and spare wire currently going to the x-10 relay. The brown & blue wires weren't previously connected, but now are attached as described above. It does get SOME communication, because on boot-up it correctly displays the control's s/n. None of the buttons do anything, except the Elk button beeps. What would cause this?
Thanks!
