apostolakisl Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 All of my ISY programs that trigger speaking from Elk have started doing the wrong thing. They all add "is disarmed" after what they are supposed to say. For example. If On Tue From 6:00:01AM To 9:50:00AM (same day) And $iTrash.Tuesday is 0 And ( Elk Zone 'Back Door' is Violated Or Elk Zone 'Garage Door' is Violated ) Then Set Elk Speak Word 'Driveway' $iTrash.Tuesday = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This should just say "driveway", but it instead says "driveway is disarmed". Other programs do the same thing. What gives?
Michel Kohanim Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi apostolakisl, What's your UI version. Also, I didn't see any "disarmed" in your example. With kind regards, Michel
apostolakisl Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I didn't see any "disarmed" in your example. Yes, that is the problem, it isn't there and yet it says it anyway. All of my programs are doing that. I'm running 4.1.0 on firmware/UI
Chris Jahn Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi apostolakisl, What has changed in your system? Did you upgrade ISY, Elk, add any Elk rules, add new programs etc. Can you try creating the following simple program and post the event viewer and log after you run it If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set Elk Speak Word 'Driveway' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
apostolakisl Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I'll give that a try when I get home. I don't recall making any changes before this started. I had added some custom words to Elk maybe 2 months ago and those worked fine at first. Then maybe a month ago I noticed it started adding the extra "is disarmed" thing. It adds it to my custom word programs and non-custom words.
apostolakisl Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 OK, I seem to have fixed it. First off, adding your new program and testing it worked fine. So, I changed the word "driveway" to another random word, saved it, and it worked fine. It changed it back to driveway and now it works fine. Same with all of my "speak" programs.

Glad you fixed it but this was very Strange, did the old programs continue to say "is disarmed" until you changed them?
apostolakisl Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Glad you fixed it but this was very Strange, did the old programs continue to say "is disarmed" until you changed them? yes
Chris Jahn Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Glad you fixed it but this was very Strange, did the old programs continue to say "is disarmed" until you changed them? yes Thanks, if it ever happens again can you please export the program XML and either post it here or send it to me.
kstock Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 apostolakisl, Can you please outline how to add new words to the MI Gold library. I can't seem to find the documentation on how to do this anywhere. Thanks, KS
apostolakisl Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 You need a telephone that provides its own power for touch tone (doesn't get power from the phone line. . . it has a wall wart). Stand in front of your Elk keypad with the phone in hand. Go to "system settings" (option , then under that go to "custom voice recording" (option 7). I forget the fine details, but you should be able to figure it out from there. I think you hit record on the keypad then pick up the phone, or something like that. It gives you voice prompts. EDIT: And this assumes that you have your house phones connected to Elk.
kstock Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Do you need one of the extra Elk add-on modules to do these recordings? Thanks for your input. KS
apostolakisl Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Do you need one of the extra Elk add-on modules to do these recordings? Thanks for your input. KS No. You get 10, 6 second recordings in the base package.

Chris, Another one of my Elk voice announcements has added "is disarmed" to the end of the correct message.
apostolakisl Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 The Elk is adding "is disarmed" to the end of all the voice messages again.
larryllix Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The Elk is adding "is disarmed" to the end of all the voice messages again. Just a thought but.... environmental changes? Sun shining on the wall where it's mounted?
