Send text to Elk keypad using isy99

[mikei-ma]

I'd like to use an Elk F key to envoke a isy99 program, but I'd like to know that it's running. Is there a way to send text to the keypad to confirm I know it's working? I know I can send text to the keypad within programming of the elk, but I want to have it sent within an ISY99 program.

Yes, if you have the Elk module installed in the ISY. Action...Elk.. Display Text on Keypads

Ok I found it but it didn't make sense to me that it would be tied to an area rather than a single keypad - so I never looked under area.

It's actually under ELK : AREA : {AREA NAME} : DISPLAY TEXT ON KEYPADS

Thanks.

Success! Thanks for your help. I now have an 'away' program that is not tied to the arming of the ELK to monitor activity in the house and shut down stuff automation tasks I don't need when I'm not home!
