You were spot on! I had to, in my reconfiguration, renumber my zones and with that, I had some issues. I checked the automation which was the wrong zone which is missing. I think I am fixed up now. Thanks for the excellent help!

I type my code but they persist. Is there a place I have to type the user code? If I type the user code in the "regular" area I think it will try to arm the alarm? I've pressed * a BUNCH and they still remain :(

Hey guys I am still wrapping my head around how to use this Elk M1. I swear the Omnipro was more intuitive and perhaps it was just using it for longer but I have multiple notices on my keypads I can't get to go away. When I look at the display is scrolls through a couple of messages and I have...

I am not the average bear :)

So I called Elk and got a lot of help. I had the wireless receiver on id 2 and the expander input board on id 2 as well. They can't be on the same ID like keypads can. Also, I was told that I can't have the wireless device connected to the bus it needs to be connected to the databus hub.

You can get Martin Jerry Wifi switches on amazon with Tasmota and they're cheap and effective. Tasmota lets you use switches in a 3 or 4 way like setting with device groups. Trust me when you look it over and try it out you will never look back. They are about $20.

thanks this is again more great information. I have to see how to enable the counter and I will check resistance tomorrow on the A and B.

I have another sensor that is quicker. So that doesn't help the data theory. Maybe the expansion board is bad? not sure what to check next.

yes I don't believe in coincidences but I don't know what's going on in my system. I believe I have all the jumpers properly set now with assistance since I am still new at the Elk stuff.

got the battery on and back to working - problem is it is still 5 to 6 seconds before I get the alert the door has opened.

So I KNEW - that posting would causing it to crap out - and it did this morning :( No idea whats happening. Its the last 3 zones that seemed to have tripped when it happens.

YES! thank you that is VERY VERY helpful!

Hey guys - my wireless sensor felt really slow. So I went to change the battery and in the process, there was a clip that friction fits on the board to get to the other side of the battery. I think it is friction fit - if not mine is defective but I can't for the life of me figure out HOW to...

Thanks. Its been what about 10 days? I hope not to jinx myself but since I updated everything it appears to be pretty solid!

Ok I worked with Steve Hoh and he helped me with the total mess I had. Basically nothing was configured properly on my data bus. I HOPE this fixes the problem - only time will tell! I didn't have Jp3 enabled on the M1, I didn't have the Data Hub configured properly with jumpers nor did I have...
