Which Elk System do I need to work with ISY?

[steve_p]

I am considering changing my current OmniPro II alarm system out with an Elk. I see there are a few different models and I want to make sure I know what I would need to have it work with ISY.

 

It looks like there is the Elk M1 Gold at SmartHome

Then there is also the Elk M1EZ8

Will either of these work with ISY or only the M1 Gold?

 

I see there is a more expensive Elk kit here that includes the ISY which I already have as well as some other items.

Do I need the M1-Ethernet-Port-Expander-Interface-M1XEP?

Is there anything else I need to have the Elk work with my existing ISY-99i?

 

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

 

You need ELK M1 Gold + ELK M1 XEP. That's all you need from ISY communications perspective.

 

With kind regards,
