I have an Elk M1 system. Been in operation since 2008. Recently I keep getting a "low battery" warning. I replace the backup battery, and the only other battery item in the system is a door lock. Replaced those batteries also. Still get the warning. What else would cause the warning? Is there a...
I know this is a long shot but thought I would try. 40 years ago I Installed an NX8E. It still has the original keypad. For years now I have really only used it for motion detection for my home automation. I am now redoing that also so thought it would be a good time to see if I can resurrect...
I haven't checked in on CQC for a couple of months. I have had CQC running for over 20 years. I know Dean had to quit development for it a while ago. Now it looks like the web sight is gone as well. Is there anywhere that the "old crew" hang out now? I am thinking of migrating to Home Assistant...
For many years I have been using a W800RF2 in my automation system. Mainly to receive info from some X10 senders. Well it has finally died (as did the company it would seem) and I need to find a replacement. Can anyone recommend a replacement unit?
Thanks

So for years I have had my elk texting me (emailing) when the system is Armed or Disarmed. About 3 weeks ago it stopped. So I figured I couldn't put off updating the XEP to v.2 any longer.
So I updated both the main board and the XEP.
Still no email getting sent. Tried three different rules...
It seems like a simple rule, but it is not working.
I am trying to get info about who was the last to unarm the alarm into my HA program (CQC).
I have a series of this rule (one for each user)
WHENEVER Home (area 1) ARM STATE BECOMES DISARMED
AND LAST USER WAS George (user 1)...
Was just checking on myKeypad to see what the pro version cost. Checked out ElkDroid also and saw that the price is now $9.99 instead of $99.99.
I know many people are having problems with this app and didn't know if the owner decided to get into more peoples hands or if he was trying to milk a...
I am combining the M1XSLZW with the Leviton VRC0P +3. The VRC0P can operate up to 115200. Can the serial expander be adjusted to run at different port speeds?
Strange ocurance last night. Have an M1 gold with all latest firmware (5.2.10 I believe). Also have the M1XEP, Serial module, and 4 zone expanders.
All was working fine. Then last night we had a lighting/thunder storm. Did not get a lightning strike, but noticed that the house phone no longer...
I use two Rain8Net units for my irrigation system. I also have the WGL rain sensor as seen here http://www.smarthomeusa.com/ShopByManufact...WGL/Item/RS001/
I currently have the sensor connected to the Rain8Net, but I would like to connect it to my Elk M1 in order to use a more robust scheduling...
I have numerous Cat 5 runs to motion sensors and soon to cameras. I am always wondering what is the best way to use the pairs to run power for these items (5V or 12V)
Let’s say I use the Brown and Green.
1. Brown for + and Brown / White for -?
2. Brown pair (solid and solid / white) for +...
I have had a CaddX 8e conncected for a long time. Recently I wanted to monitor some hardwired Motion Detectors via the Caddx. However whenever I hook them up they always show Faulted - even when no motions is being detected.
The motions are being powered by a separate supply, not the Caddx.
Is...
For years I have used a program called Call Soft Pro. However the developer quit supporting it a while ago and I would like to find something else that has the capabilities that this one did. So far I have not found anything.
What I am looking for is a program that will:
Use TTS or Wav

I have an ELK M1 system set up. I am using it to control zwave lights via the Leviton controller. I will be using a lot of wired PIR units to trigger lights in many locations. So far I have a couple set up and the response time from trigger to lights coming on is too slow to be usefull. My...
