Setup

If the panel has been connected to Vera on an USB port, you must configure the serial port.

1. Go to MiOS developers -> Serial port configuration.
   • Set the Baud to 115200.
   • Select the newly created panel device from the Used by device drop-down list.
   • Optionally you can give a name to this serial port in the Name field.
2. Close this window and click SAVE.
3. After Luup has restarted reload the web page.

Usage

Pressing the Clear Message button clears the status message displayed in the upper right corner of the dashboard.

The status displayed is the current arm mode.

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.

How to see the logs:
