I have had my M1G installed since august of last year... at the moment i only have the basics, 2 input expansion boards, ethernet interface and HAI thermostat integration.
I seem to have two types of intermittent problems and another odity...
1) module trouble/restore. This happens sporatically (8/24, 8/30, 9/20, 9/23, 9/26, 12/13, 12/14, 1/13, 1/19, 1/30, 2/19, 3/1) and is always on Serial Exp 1. I get this series of three mid-level beeps that repeats maybe 2/3 three times and goes away (presumeably after the restore and before i can get out of bed). This almost always happens in the middle of the night, but not always - but always when nobody is touching anything.
2) this happens more rarely, but i can't pinpoint the cause either. From what i can tell, there seems to some sequence where if i open various zones which filter into a combination of inputs on different input expansion cards, i get this neverending searies of very low level beeps. example: garage door, hall door on Exp 3, nook window and/or porch door on Exp 2. The only way i know to stop it is to power down the Elk turn it back on. I am clueless here....
3) This one is consistent upon and power down/up of the M1G. Upon bootup, every single registered Zone is listed as violated on the keypads. Once i open one window/door contact on an expander, all zones on that expander correctly clear from violated status. So i have to do this on two zones (one for each expander). Right now not too bug a deal especially since #2 occurs infrequently but once i install a third expander in my outbuilding, it will become more annoying!
NOTE: I do NOT have any inputs connected to the M1G itself as this was a retro install and my main closet is not near the security wiring leads (which used to go to the Elk's precursor - the Moose Z1100?). Also, all contacts are registered as "Type 1 - Normally Closed" which is correct. But upon reboot it is as if they treated as normally open althoguh regustered correctly?
Any tips would be appreciated.
