| Elk-M1 Control | Works Local | Used 15 years; standalone panel also monitored and controlled in HASaved copyI've been using an Elk M1 with no issues for about 15 years. First discovered it on an automation forum back in my Insteon days. It's nice in that it's a solid full featured standalone alarm panel that i can also monitor and control through HA. Although all my sensors are hardwired, I believe they have wireless options available. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2024-08 | |
| Elk-M1 Control | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Arming an already armed panel disarms it, bypassing security | Second arm command disarms panel; risk when exposed to HomeKitSaved copyYes, this is an issue. The root of the issue is that the ElkM1 has a bug (I believe). Sending an arm away will arm the panel. A second arm away will disarm. The panel should not disarm on a second arm away. I will raise this on the Elk Products forum and see what they say. A work around may be possible. I'll take a look. In the meantime, does requiring a code make any difference, or does HomeKit put the arming code in there for you? Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #20630 · 2019-01 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
