The Internet is primary and auto-switchable to Cellular in the event the signal fails. Q: How are alarm signals transmitted from the alarm site?Ī: The BAT-Connect is dual-path. It is a good idea to have at least one remote antenna in inventory in case you need it.Ī: For compatible alarm control panels, the BAT-Connect will auto-program the alarm control using the keypad bus connection, programming the necessary fields for the alarm transmissions and virtual keypad. However, if the installation is in a building that is blocking cellular signal or in a remote location where cellular signal is weak, the remote antenna may be necessary. Q: Do I need to order the external antenna?Ī: Most installations do not require an external antenna. Being connected to the Internet, via a Virtual Keypad connection through the Alula Security App, the alarm and home automation commands are very fast, usually responding in just one second. Q: How fast does the Virtual Keypad react to commands?Ī: Alula utilizes the Internet as a primary source of communication, and Cellular as a back-up.

See the Compatibility Chart for full details. The BAT-Connect is connected by using a 4-conductor wire to the keypad bus. Q: What panels are supported for the Virtual Keypad feature?Ī: Most DSC, Honeywell and GE panels are supported. The Alarm Relay technicians have always been fabulous to work with in solving any programming concern with the Elk including finding a way to properly integrate the app and the BAT Connect cellular backup with my Elk M1 panel.Q: What alarm control panels does the BAT-Connect work with?Ī: The BAT-Connect is universal, as it proves a ‘dialer capture’ for panels that transmit Contact ID format from the dialer output. I continue to highly recommend Alarm Relay for incredible service, great responsiveness, and very affordable pricing. WHENEVER Home (Area 1) ARM STATE BECOMES DISARMED WHENEVER Home (Area 1) ARM STATE BECOMES ARMED I worked with Alarm Relay and Alula directly to troubleshoot and found that using no resistor works properly.įinally, go to automation rules for the Elk M1 and setup the following rules: Special tech note – do NOT put the recommended 2k resistor across the Y-IN and 12V terminals as it will not work properly. Third, connect a 12V programmable output to the Y-IN terminal. Second, configure the zone as a momentary keyswitch zone which allows “Away” arming and regular disarming.

In terms of installation, it’s fairly easy to install with one minor change to their instructions.įirst, connect Open Collector OC1 to an open hardwired zone and place a resistor across the zone.
ALULA APP MANUAL UPGRADE
The solution I found when I upgraded from internet monitoring with my M1XEP to backup cellular monitoring was to upgrade my account with Alarm Relay to add on cellular monitoring using their relatively inexpensive BAT-Connect cellar communicator and the accompanying Alula app. With this solution, I believe I can still use other apps via the M1XEP if I choose to do that down the road. were more than I wanted to work with given that the Alula app will always be supported. Given I only wanted basic arm / disarm, eKeypad, Agave, etc. Given feedback posted here, I didn’t want to use the Elk’s own C1M1 Dual Path communicator as it would have increased cellular monitoring fees above normal fees and required a paid app. I’ve searched the threads trying to find something easy to use, inexpensive and painless to install for arming and disarming my Elk M1 with a phone app.
