Let me start off by saying that the Elk/PH integration is WAY COOL!!! Thanks Dave  That being said, I am looking to make to fullest use of it.
In the Help File, the page labeled "Elk M1 Gold as a PowerHome Controller" talks about the different ways PH can interact with the Elk (most of which I think I will want to make use of).
Near the bottom of the page the "ph_ctlrcmd1" and "ph_ctlrsq" commands are discussed. I guess I am a bit dense, but I have not been having much luck at figuring out param1, param2, param3 and param4.
I have been able to make the "ARM to Away" example work: 'ph_ctlrcmd1("ELKID",120,0,0,"","",1)', but not most of the others.
I guess what I am hoping for is a bit more basic reference documentation so that I can make full use of these neat new fuctions.
Anyone else having better/worse luck?

Steve,
It's my fault. I was a bit rushed and skimped on the Elk documentation. I'll get this cleaned up shortly.
Temporarily, you may get further by reviewing the Elk RS-232 Protocol documentation for what goes in the various parameters. But depending upon the function, this won't get you 100% either. It'll be up to me to flesh out the docs better.
Im also looking to put together a plug-in that will hopefully simplify the Elk functions and provide a nice Control Center Elk Keypad display.
Dave.
