Elk M1 Gold to Hubitat Integration
There is community written code written for Hubitat that allows it to communicate with an Elk M1 Gold with M1XEP Ethernet interface installed. The integration allows Hubitat to "see" arming state, zones, outputs, keypads. It also allows Hubitat to arm or disarm the alarm and add it to dashboards. Integrating the two creates a convenient way to set up arming/disarming from the Hubitat app and to set up rules that can trigger Zwave or Zigbee or Lutron lighting events based on Elk's status, zones, etc.
This is NOT a plug and play integration, it requires some time & planning.
- The apps & drivers are copied to the Hubitat, following the README file on the app page.
- The user should ideally create a user PIN on Elk dedicated to the integration.
- Elk should already be set up with all the inputs/zones, outputs, keypads and tasks before running the integration.
- The Hubitat app is updated with the M1XEP's IP address, local port and the Elk user PIN.
- Then the Hub should be rebooted.
- After the reboot the user can "import" zones, keypads, outputs and tasks that are already set up in Elk.
- Zone states, task triggers, etc can be added to one or more dashboards in Hubitat
- Optionally but recommended, Hubitat Safety Monitor (HSM) can be installed in Hubitat and integrated with the Elk M1 Application in Hubitat to allow arming, disarming, automated events based on Hubitat's mode, etc.
