How can I control Lights with Elk Nodeserver?

I just bought and am trying to set up the "new" Elk-7TS touchscreen keypad.  I would like to try to get it so that I could check the status of a few lights or devices and potentially turn them on and off.  I have tried creating some "lights" inside of the ElkRP2 and I can see these on the touchscreen, which is great, but none of them do anything.  they need configuration.  I believe that these should somehow make nodes in my Polisy but I haven't been able to figure out how to do so.  I tried setting the nodeserver to "ELKID" and putting some "ELKID=4" in notes for devices but that didn't work either.  any suggestions?

Did you follow all the instructions in the plugin configuration page?

  • ELKID
    • This works by right-clicking on a node in the ISY and adding a note with "ELKID=n" where n is a unique integer
    • Then click on the "export" link provided below which will appear once your ELK is synced
      • Note: Depending on how many devices on your IoX it may take a while to process and generate the export file.
    • Once the file is downloaded, open ElkRP connect to your System, then right click on Automation -> Lighting and import the file.
