Ok I finally downloaded NR2.0 and started playing with the Flatstyle Music and DM.ccf.

1. Had similar problems with the Music pages has others have reported, music starting and restarting after a couple of seconds, library problems. After reading a couple of threads things seemed to have settle down.

3. Weather data appears to be displaying correctly.

4. Control of lighting through my Elk security panel seems to be working fine. Although not all of my lights show up. Seems like only light thats have dimmer capabilities are showing.

5. Security area status seems to be display accurately. But I can't arm the system thru NR. It seems that by default the max size of the security code is 4 digits, I am setup for 6. How do I change this?

Rick,

Would you post your Elk provider here.

As a temporary measure, find the DM.Security.Keypad frame and add a frame to it with the name maxdigits:6

I'll be fixing the CCF and scripts to refer to the Values.Format property of the control which should be set to ###### for 6 digits.

Rick,

to change the code control to accept 6 digit input do this....



device:SetControlValues ('Code',{Format = '######'))

Rob, Mike

Tried both suggestions, I am now able to enter 6 digit codes but still change in state of the security system. When I select a different mode than displayed, I get the following in G5 Logger.


19:12:41:421 2/2/2007 Communication Server ncc-1701\ElkM1EZ8\Security Area 1\Mode 3340 192.168.1.3 Armed Stay

Not sure what it all means.

Rick, Are you using the elk m1ez8 via rs232 or network connection. I'm thinking about getting one of these. Just wanna know what is already working.

I am using the RS232 interface. Currently I have put this project on hold waiting for G5 to progress a bit more.

Can you post the source for the actual ELK plugin?

Rob,

I will work on putting that together. Are you wanting all the source?

If possible, or at least everything related to ValidateCode

Sorry for being such a post whore over the last few days, but just thought I'd ask you guys about Elk alarm systems - they seem to actually be available here in Australia (resold by NESS), so I thought I'd check about how well they are controllable from Girder?

Would the ethernet connectivity be worthwhile?

Cheers

Rob,

Is the below procedure still in effect?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't recall making the change to FlatStyle
