dantoronto Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 I followed your instructions for the ELK Nodeserver for configuration. Not sure about all of my selections. Finally got the ELK Controller to show up in my eISY. But all the data fields are blank. Before the at least said DISCONNECTED or FALSE. Any suggestions/instructions?? Thanks

Finally got the ELK Controller to show up in my eISY. But all the data fields are blank. Before the at least said DISCONNECTED or FALSE. Any suggestions/instructions?? Thanks These are the important fields to get basic data in the admin console: Set temperature_unit to F or C Set host to the host or ip address and port, e.g. 192.168.1.15:2101 Set user_code, suggested to create a unique usercode for this NodeServer Set areas to the range of areas you would like to include Set outputs to the range of outputs to include A range can be comma separated to include just those numbers, or separated with a dash to include numbers in between. For example 1-3,5,7-8 will be 1,2,3,5,7,8 All ranges start at one just like the numbering the Elk uses. Have you entered the correct IP address and port? Note, you can not use the secure port. You can only have one device connected to Elk at a time. Are you in ElkRP2 or anything else? Have you entered a valid user code? Did you set the area to your existing Elk area? Did you restart the admin console? If the above doesn't help you, we will need to see your configuration details. 1
dantoronto Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Temperature: C Host: 10.0.0.xxx:2101 (or should I use 2601?? Areas: 1 Outputs : 10 (all are blank in my admin console) change node names: true light method: ELKNAME user code: just used 4 random numbers. Should I instead use my RP Access Code from the Elk? My ELK says it is ElkRP2. I have not yet deleted my ISY which was still connected to ELK. Is that necessary? I have rebooted the admin console several times. Now I still get a red exclamation mark beside ELK Controller in admin console., Nothing under any of the Outputs. For the ELK Controller, I am now getting Connected, Connected, 1 (NodeServer Errors), Disconnected, and then the rest False. Thanks so much

The user code is not reansom, you must program the Elk for a new user with the code you want to use. Did you do this?
dantoronto Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Sorry, where do I program the ELK for a new user with the code I want to use?? The eISY keeps freezing, every 10 hours or so.

DennisC Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 You can use a keypad or ElkRp2 to add a new user. Check the Elk manual for exactly how to do it. The errors might be because you are lacking an authorized user, but I'm not sure. You can also try rebooting eisy. Suggest you get a proper user programmed before you start chasing something else.
Jimbo.Automates Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 Is 10.0.0.xxx the IP address of your ELK? These warnings are because you set it to ELKNAME and you have an ELK light name 'all bathrooms' which doesn't match a ISY node name.2023-10-07 22:18:02,033 ELK-3286 udi_interface WARNING Controller:sync_complete: ELK Controller: No node address or name match for 'all bathrooms'Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
dantoronto Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Yes, 10.0.0.xxx is the IP address of the ELK, 2101 is the unsecured port. 2601 is the secure port. Which one should I use? What should I use if not ELKNAME? Where do I find or define my User Code? Under ELK I see RP Access Code and User name. I also see the code I use to log into my keypads. Is this one of these?

Since you appear to still be having trouble getting everything to work, can I suggest you disable importing lights for now and concentrate on getting your Elk system in to your system. 12 hours ago, dantoronto said: Where do I find or define my User Code? Under ELK I see RP Access Code and User name. I also see the code I use to log into my keypads. Where are you seeing this? It is recommended to set up a new user code in Elk to use with the node server. This can be done from the Elk programming software, ElkRP2, or from some keypads. Have you done that and tested the user cade to be sure it works? Once you have a user code that works with your Elk, enter the user code in the node server configuration tab. Save the page, restart the node server while watching the log. You should see the node server start up, connect to Elk, and add the nodes. After the nodes have been added, then start the admin console. If the admin console was open when starting the node server, you must restart the admin console. If this doesn't work for you, please post some screenshots.
dantoronto Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 Dennis Happy to set up a new user code in ELK. My question is where, in the ELKRP2, do I do that? Is that the code I use to arm and disarm my alarms on the key pads? Please be specific. Thanks so much

Is that the code I use to arm and disarm my alarms on the key pads? Please be specific. Thanks so much Sign in to ElkRP2 and connect to your system. From the left hand menu, select Users. From the top menu, select New - the dialog that opens usually prefills with 1 new user and the next user number, which you can change. Select user to copy from (yourself?). After the above, the new user 's window opens, where you can enter a name and a user code. You can also modify the Areas, User Authorizations and designate if this is to be a Duress code. When finished, don't forget to send to the control (button on last screen) and save to the database (save button from top menu.
dantoronto Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 OK. I thought that might be it. That is the code I use to arm / disarm the keypad. Will put that number into the Node configuration. To be honest, I am now getting ELK data into my eISY. But I am having real problems with my eISY crashing every time my wifi resets itself at night. I have to unplug and then plug in the eISY to get it back on line. Thanks much
