Running ELK module alongside ELK Node Server

[GJ Software Products]

I’m migrating from the ELK module on 5.3.4 on a 994i to the ELK Node server on an eisy 5.5.0 (PG3x 3.1.16).  Can I run both of these alongside each other until my migration to the eisy is complete or do I have to stop the module running in the 994i before running the node server?  Thanks,  Grant

I think your Elk M1XEP can only connect with one device at a time, so I don't think this will work.

I did this while the node server was being developed as a tester.

While the M1XEP can only handle one connection at a time, I don't think the Elk Module on ISY or the Elk Node Server is always actively connected. 

Think of it this way, if you are running either the Elk Module or the node server, you can still connect thru ElkRP. When you make that connection, the module or the node server stops updating until you disconnect ELKRP.

I just installed the ELK node server and I can issue commands to, and get status back from the ELK M1EXP from both the module on my 994i and the PG3 NS on my eisy.  I haven't fully proven this all out but I was glad to see both can be online see the ELK.
