Any reason why the formula
ph_ctlrsq("ELK",121,"00XXXX",1,1)
will not arm the Elk. The log shows keypad access, but that is all.
To be clear, "ELK" represents my ELK controller, "00XXXX" represents
my code, which is 4 digits.
Has something changed since documentation?

SJ,
Checked my own system and this is exactly what Im using.
I have found though that I have to use my main code for
it to actually arm. What I mean by that is that my
personal PIN code for myself has full access to
everything in the Elk. My wife's PIN has access to
arm/disarm but doesnt have "system" access. Her code
wont work, mine will. However, either of our codes work
to disarm.
Not sure if this by Elk design or not.
Dave.

Dave:
I did check to be sure that I'm using a master code, and
I
am. I even made a new user to be sure. The only thing
that occurs is the Elk logs a 1313 event.
I've been trying to think of what could be different in
my
setup to cause this, and the only thing I can think of is
that I only use a M1KPNAV and no other keypad. Is it
possible this makes a difference? I can't imagine, but
thought I'd throw it out there.
Stefan

Stefan,
I wouldnt think that would have any effect since it all takes place within the Elk controller itself. Have you verified if the Disarm command works or not?
Dave.

Disarm works as expected.
Armed the system using the keypad, then ran
ph_ctlrsq("ELK",121,"00xxxx",0,1)
Where xxxx is my master code.
System disarmed.

Stefan,
Hmm...that means the command is working and PH is communicating. Im wondering if there is something in the Elk config or perhaps the firmware revision that is preventing the Arm from working. It makes not sense that Disarm works and Arm wouldnt. Im wondering if any of the other Arm modes work. From the Elk programming manual
1 - Arm Away
2 - Arm Stay
3 - Arm Stay Instant
4 - Arm Night
5 - Arm Night Instant
6 - Arm Vacation
7 - Arm, Step to next away
8 - Arm, Step to next stay
This means that you would substitute the number above as the 4th parameter of the ph_ctlrsq function. So Arm Night would be:
ph_ctlrsq("ELK",121,"00xxxx",4,1)
See if any of the other Arm modes works.
Dave.

Ah ha! I had known about 1-6 and tried them, but not that
there was a 7 & 8.
7 works to arm in Away mode
and 8 works to arm in Night Mode;
the only two options I allow on my panel at the moment.
Why "1" and "4" do not work, I can't speculate.
