ELK ISY Integration Module

Hello Michel,

 

My Elk system is nearly complete. My ISY-99 will move into the Elk closet today.

 

Are you still hoping to have an Elk module ready at the time of the next firmware release?

 

I realise that there are many ambitions out there for Elk/ISY integration, but for now I would quite happy with a module that simply allowed the ISY to be aware of the status of the Elk's zones, so I can integrate information from my hardwired Elk-based sensors into my ISY programs. I do not need to "push" Insteon information back to the Elk.

 

Kind regards,

 

Simon

Hi Simon,

 

We are going to have 2.7.14 (RC1) in a few hours. If everything goes well, we should have the official release 2.7.15 in 2 weeks. ELK will be in the release after 2.7.15 ... although I cannot guarantee a time but I am cautiously optimistic that we should have something soon.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Can you give an update for the module? Will this be a for purchase enhancement? Will their be a trial edition? I want to make sure it solves my problems before I would purchase. I want to be able to kick off ISY rules based on ELK sensor status. I'm having a lot of trouble using Insteon Motion to turn on outdoor security lighting seqences - so my hopes is an security based outdoor motion may do a better job.

Hello bkpky,

 

We are working on it; as you might imagine, it's a little involved so I cannot give you an exact date.

 

Yes, you should be able to use ELK sensor/zone status in ISY.

 

The module will be for purchase (probably our standard $49.00). You will have 30 days to play with it as much as you like and return (no questions asked) if it does not meet your requirements.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

 

Just a few questions on the much anticipated Elk Module;

Since it is being promoted as bi-directional (if I remember correctly), I'd like to know if the ISY will behave as a PLM/PLC connected to the serial connection would behave. Will the Elk look at the ISY for lighting configuration info? Will we be able to use our scenes and programs in the Elk programs/tasks?

 

I am helping out on an Android application with someone for the Elk and we have a lighting section that allows us to control the lighting device attached to the system. In his (the developer's) case, he is using UPB, which seemed pretty straightforward, but it would be fantastic if the Elk would be able to enhance its lighting capabilities by using the ISY directly. I'm guessing that the Elk might need a firmware update. Just how close are you working with Elk on this project and are any of the possibilities that I mentioned plausible?

 

Thanks for your time!
