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...

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...

Hey guys, been a while! I have moved to the Elk M1 Gold for my new to me home. I installed some GRI2600's in some bathrooms I remodeled. I have 2 GRI2600 (NC) in my one bathroom in a series. It seems to work fine 99% of the time. The sensors are wired back to an expansion module connected...

Who is everyone using for centralized monitoring these days?  I would like to use the internet for notification since I don't have a POTS line but I think thats pretty standard.     I have a Elk M1 Gold.   Thanks!   Neil  

Hey guys I ordered some system sensor smoke and co2 combo units (well a lot like 14) and I wired the entire house.  I ordered them in November and now they won't be available until end of January AND they raised the price.  I really want to tell them to go to hell.  Is there another brand of 2...

I was wondering if anyone tried using a  Global Cache IP2SL-P    to convert the serial to network?  The elk device is pretty pricey....   Thanks!   Neil  

Hey guys I want to remove an expansion enclosure I have that is only acting as 6 outputs for some drapes.     I have some pushbuttons on the wall that are connected to zones on the Omni and when no ready they activate the button which in turn closes the relay.   I was thinking of replacing the...

I found some threads about people building GPIO boards, on another forums, for their raspberry pi's and use MQTT to provide state status for home assistant.  I am looking to expand those boards - just because and really the omnipro isn't gonna last forever.    I Have some questions. Is anyone...

Hey guys anyone sucking down the events from their Omnipro in to an Home Assistant install?   I am trying to replicate the Haiku or Myro Home in setup so events is one of those useful tabs.   Thanks for any advice!   Neil  

Hey guys I installed a HAI Omnipro for a friend.  He doesn't have a phone line connected anymore - but he gets random Communicator Trouble alerts and would like NOT to. How can we disable the check all together?   Thanks!   Neil  

Hey guys,   I am planning my new home, already built, but need to figure out cameras.  I have been loyal to onvif cameras with a hikvision NVR and 99% of my cameras (maybe an exaggeration) are hikvision units.  I have had a TON of problems with the Hikvision NVR, to the point where the software...

I found this video looking for sensor details for the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus.   Anyone using this panel?  I don't know which alarm system it is but the 7" display looks REALLY nice!   Thanks, Neil  

Anyone using the  Alula Nanomax?   I can't find a dimensions or picture with a quarter or nickel?  No videos or anything!  Anyone able to take a pic to demonstrate size?   Thanks!   Neil  

Anyone using Ion Digital Pungers?  I have a new home and working on figuring out what I am going to use for the wireless doors and windows.  These look like a small package but I don't know how reliable they are.   Also I am considering GE vs HAI receiver.  Anyone have any opinion on which is...

Hey guys - I am going to sell my house and I have a bunch of older ipads running haiku as the keypad.  It is currently logged in as my wife's apple id and I would like to sign them out so they don't have access forever or if we change the password.   I was wondering if anyone bought haiku as...

Hey guys I am baffled.  I had a camera out of my farthest point from my home drop dead.  I have two cat 6 running there.   I tested the port and camera on the switch with a patch cable and the camera works, so the switch works. Check   I tested the cable straight through with my Ideal cable...

Hey guys my Omnipro II has started doing weird stuff.  It is beeping in a weird pattern (three beeps or three beeps and another three beeps) on like only one keypad! Nothing is recorded in events.  I reset the system by pulling the plug and battery.  This morning it was happening so I powered...

Nextalarm is going away at the end of June.  Quite a surprised to me.  Just got the email today.   Anyone have any recommendations for me to get someone to monitor over phone line?  I am just a single residence - and don't want to tie in with any alarm company for a long term committement.    ...

Is this being discussed somewhere that I am not aware of? Seems like a real end of an era. I guess I have to start studying elk m1 or something else. Anyone else upset?

I have been using NextAlarm for over 10 years now.  Hard to believe it is that long! Anyway I haven't been receiving my emails for almost 2 weeks about the openings and closings.  I went to the website and I get a certificate warning on Safari and Chrome for OSX.  I contacted them and they said...
