Security Features and Sensors
The M1 Gold offers ample security features. You'll gain peace of mind, knowing your smoke detectors and other hardwired and wireless sensors as well as your alarm system (all sold separately) are fully supported, along with a time/date-stamped 512-event history log. Partition your monitored area into eight separate areas with separate account numbers; program up to 99 user codes with assignable authority levels, so you'll be sure your home or office is being monitored wisely. Additional features include a two-way listen-in interface and multiple arm levels.
Home Automation Features
More than just a security system, the M1 Gold can be used to create lifestyle-enhancing comfort and convenience through your home automation system. Interface your computers and peripheral devices into your M1 Gold and control your lighting, temperature and numerous other automation tasks. There's no need to chain rules together; the programming system allows almost any imaginable operation using easy-to-understand text-based references. Control your lighting, including dimming and scenes, using RS-232 serial or 2-way power line control ports. Read temperature sensors and communicate with thermostats. You can even turn on tasks, lights, and outputs via keypad or telephone remote. Additional features include sunset/sunrise calculation and activation as well as the ability to transmit and receive custom serial ASCII messages.
Built-in Voice Announcements
It's not necessary to rely on beeps and flashes with the M1 Gold. The voice announcement feature provides clear alerts and announcements, providing detailed information on alarms, zone descriptions, and status of areas. With a 500-plus-word/phrase vocabulary, you can link up to six words and phrases per announcement, and with an additional 10 custom-recordable words/phrases, you'll find this communications system to be extremely user-friendly. The integrated voice dialer also uses vocabulary or custom words and phrases.
Keypads and Phone Remote Control
The built-in telephone remote control makes any phone a keypad. While the M1 Gold is expandable to support up to 16 LCD keypads, the system's included semi-flush-mount keypad features a backlit, large-character LCD of 16 x 2 lines, which displays the system's diagnostics and settings. Between its menu navigation keys and its six programmable function keys, programming the display of time, date and temperature is made easy. On each keypad, one zone input and one output are programmable. Additional keypads and blue-backlit keypads are available to be purchased separately. And if you want the keypads to be semi-flush-mounted in your walls, you will need the Flush Mount Kit. The M1 Gold Kit is also available with a keypad with 6 programmable buttons.
Expansion Units Available
Add up to twelve 16 hardwired zones to your M1 Gold with the M1 16 Zone Input Expander. Looking to add wireless receivers? Use the M1 Cable to NX Wireless. Additional units that can be purchased separately include the M1 Databus Hub and the M1 Relay Board.
Connection Options
The M1 Gold uses a true V.22 bis modem for fast, reliable information uploading and downloading. You'll have the options of dial-up, Ethernet or local access from the RS-232 port or house phone jack; an automatic answering machine bypass is included, as is the RJ31X jack so that your M1 Gold system will be able to dial out in the event of an emergency.

Rating I have had the Elk M1 Gold for nearly a decade now and found it to be a reliable product. Its expansion and programming capabilities are extensive and it is easy enough for almost anyone to install and program.

Rating I bought this system to augment the ISY94 in case of a serious power failure. I want to be able to shut off the water supply to the house and monitor temperatures should I lose power in the winter while I am away enjoying the sun. This is a handful for the novice. I highly recommend buying a serial to USB adapter along with the system so you can program the M1 from a PC directly. The keypad can be daunting when you are just learning the system. The hardware seems to be commercial grade - it's built like a brick you-know-what. The documentation is fairly good although at times the "telephone repair guy" language was a bit obscure for this old time computer type.

Rating The Elk security system is an incredibly versatile system, indeed is probably far more than I need, and unless you have technical experience it can be overwhelming. However it's automation capabilities are what I am looking for. The programming software is outstanding and very well debugged. A quality product so far.

Rating I am looking to upgrade/rework my existing security system and link it to my Insteon setup but I am not interested in having to buy and maintain a PC to make this work. Add a Macintosh interface and I will go this route for my upgrade.

Rating Well designed and well built system. Not really designed for the average DIY-er, but the instructions are good and the system is flexible and powerful if you're willing to put in the time.
