3.9.5 ELK Security Module
While the ISY does include some ELK integration built-in, it is fairly limited in that most
of the integration must come from the ELK side. For example, you can write a program
on the ELK to turn a light on through the ISY, but you cannot write an ISY program that
turns a light on based on the state of an ELK resource.
The ELK Security Module changes that, fully integrating the ELK with the ISY allowing
you to use the ELK’s available resources in your ISY programs.
The list and state of available ELK resources can be found in the main ELK tab in the
Admin Console.
Within this tab you can choose sub-tabs to view ELK resources such as Zones (typically
motion sensors, door sensors, window sensors, etc.). You can view Outputs configured
on the ELK, and also any thermostats.
Using your ELK resources in ISY Programs is a snap. For example, you could trigger
an ISY Program if a garage door sensor tied to your ELK was open:
You could also use an ISY Program to arm your ELK security system:
