gatchel Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Can someone point me to any available Elk - ISY integration information or documentation. I have done some basic searches and come up with very little. I am considering purchasing the ISY or the codename 99.9 product and would like to do some reading up. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 gatchel, The documentation you are referring to, alongside all the other new features in 2.5, do not exist yet and shall be available when 2.5 is released. At a high level, the procedure is VERY simple: 1. Configure your lights/scenes the way you like them within ISY 2. On the Configuration tab, choose ELK and enter the ELK's M1XEP's IP and Port. Click on Save ... now ELK will communicate with ISY over the network 3. On the same pane, click on Export ELK Configuration and save it to a file 4. Go to ELK RP, right mouse click on lighting, choose Import. In the ensuing dialog choose Universal Devices' ISY-26, and then choose the configuration file exported from ISY 5. After the import is done, choose "Future Use" column for all the scenes/devices for which you do NOT want X10 commands sent out (X10 slows the response time) 6. Save it to ELK (using the Send button) That's about it. With kind regards, Can someone point me to any available Elk - ISY integration information or documentation.

MikeB Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've actually taken my Elk M1 out of the box and put it on my workbench. Big first step towards setting this thing up!! If only we didn't need to sleep, I might have time for all this stuff... Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 MikeB, Please do make sure to get the latest ELKRP Software and ELK Firmware from Elk.

Tyler Electric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Michel, I have set up an Elk M1 system and have exported ISY to Elk. I can see the ISY devices in the Elk system under lighting but when I set up a rule to use them nothing happens. It seems as if Elk and ISY still are not talking. Elk is plugged into an Ethernet Interface and that is connected to my network as is the ISY. Also, do you know if i should be able to turn lighting devices off and on via the Elk RP ssoftware? I can't seem to find anyway to do so. Mike B, any progress on your setup? Ron Link to comment

Michel Kohanim Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Ron, Please make sure you have the latest firmware/bootware from ELK. Make sure under Configuration/ELK tab you enter the IP address/Port for M1XEP and then press Save. If all is successful, then you will see the security panel at the top of Admin Console (under status bar). If you do not see the security panel, then ISY is not communicating with your ELK.

Tyler Electric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 No Security tab under the access bar....looks like they are not talking to each other. Back to the manual Thanks, Ron Link to comment
MikeB Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Mike B, any progress on your setup? My Elk is still unopened, was away at EHX most of last week. I'm hoping to get to it sometime over the next 2-3 weeks. Link to comment
Tyler Electric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It's got to be a network thing....I think. i've tried several times but nothing. I can access the M1 via the network, can import the ISY file, devices show in Elk under lighting but cannot get a security tab in ISY. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ron, Hi. Just realized something!!! Make sure you are not running 2.4.13 since it has a bug where configuration settings are not stored --> cannot communicate with ELK. With kind regards, Michel It's got to be a network thing....I think. i've tried several times but nothing.

Tyler Electric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I am running 2.4.13 What should I go to? Do you have a patch? Thanks, Ron Link to comment
