The status displayed is the current arm mode.

The Elk M1 alarm panel requires the user code to arm/disarm a partition or to bypass/unbypass a zone. Enter the user code in the ''PIN Code'' field then click ''Store''. The user code is stored securely and can't be accessed by anyone. It is NOT stored in a state variable to be visible by anyone with access to the Vera. This also means that the user code is lost when the Luup engine restarts and it needs to be entered again.

Pressing the ''Clear'' button erases the user code from memory.

It's not necessary to store the user code to arm/disarm a partition, but it must be present in the ''PIN Code'' field.

=== Notes ===
* Arming or Bypassing zones requires the user code valid in that partition.
* Arming or Disarming a partition also requires the user code valid in that partition.

=== Debugging ===
By default, the plugin logs only the important events, like alarms and errors. To enable verbose logging go to the ''Advanced'' tab in the panel device's Toolbox and set the ''!DebugMode'' to ''1'' then restart Luup.
