Elk's zwave module direct connect to ISY (with wave)

[Envirogreen]

The Elk wave module says that it works with Leviton wave controller, and I think vera, does ISY with aware also work?

 

I am not looking for the ISY Elk module (which I already have), but deeper integration.

 

An example - right now I have the leviton controller directly connected to the Elk, and have a Yale lock.

 

because of this integration I am able to get the Elk to see the Yale Lock, and therefore set up the F3 button to lock/unlock the Yale.

 

I know that using the ISY for wave I could enable a lot more, but do like having the Elk keypad integration.

 

I guess the other question - if this isn't possible - would be could the Yale lock have two controllers (Leviton and ISY)?

 

Thank you.

If you install the isy zwave and put the yale lock on it and have the elk module. it's easy to control it from the key pad just write a program like this

 

 

If

Elk Keypad 'Kitchen' 'F2' is Pressed

And Status 'Lock-Living-Rm-Top-Z33' is Locked

 

Then

Set 'Lock-Living-Rm-Top-Z33' Unlock

 

Else

Set 'Lock-Living-Rm-Top-Z33' Lock

 

You can also toggle an elk output to show the status of the lock on the keypad

I want to make sure I'm following you.

 

Are you saying that you directly connect (i.e., through ELK-M1XSLZW), and program in the ELK

 

OR

 

no direct connect use the ISY ELK module and do the programming in the ISY? If ISY, can you query lock status and F2 light status to make sure they stay in sync?

There are lots of ways to do this. The lock can stay connected to Elk, and ISY can be programmed to do a simulated f-key press where you use an Elk rule to toggle the lock on an f-key press, thus allowing ISY to control the lock as well as Elk.

 

You could also connect the lock directly to ISY and have Elk control the lock via ISY responding to the f-key press programatically (as mentioned above).

 

You can also use "phantom" outputs on Elk to communicate the status of the lock between ISY and Elk.

I have moved all my zwave from the ELK to the ISY Zwave module and don't used the Elk zwave stuff anymore, So much more you can do in the ISY

 

I Used the above program to control the lock

 

For the status of the lock i used a Elk-output no hardware required

 

and a program

 

If

Status 'Lock-Living-Rm-Top-Z33' is Unlocked

Then

Set Elk Output 'Lock-Status' On

Else

Set Elk Output 'Lock-Status' Off

 

Lock-Status is Elk-Output #59

 

IN the ELK under the keypad > under Illumination Event > under F2 KEY I Have 7059=Output 59 State (from the drop down)

So every time the output turn on i Have the light blink

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about, using a "phantom" output to track status. In your case, output 59. I do that myself for other reasons, but same concept.
