m1sender.exe command line ASCII interface to M1

M1SENDER

Unlike the larger and more complicated drivers and libraries for the M1 this command line utility can be called by any script, utility, batch file or email server you might want to use and is very simple. It only sends commands (does return a value), following the ASCII protocol listed in the Elk ASCII RS-232 protocol manual:

Protocol Manual

If you don't put a 1 in the CkSumFlag the utility will not generate the checksum needed to validate the M1command but it would still send the string which could be picked up in the M1 rules...

Usage: m1sender host port M1command CkSumFlag

Examples:

m1sender.exe 192.168.0.105 2101 a01001234 1 Would DISARM the M1

m1sender.exe 192.168.0.105 2101 a11001234 1 Would ARM the M1

Hey BKLLC

I was looking for a way to send some simple commands to my M1 like toggle lights on/off. Is your program still available somewhere for download? would it be able to toggle lights? I have tried perl with elkm1Control but can't get toggle command to work.

Thanks
