IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The ELK-M1XZW incorporates a Z-Wave factory produced transceiver module and currently supports
lighting and thermostat device categories ONLY. The current generation of Z-Wave devices do not broad-
cast or update state changes back to any controller device other than the one that commanded the change.
The results are that the M1 may not always accurately display the true state of the Z-Wave lighting devices.
In addition, a M1 rule 'event' cannot be activated by the state change of a Z-Wave light other than lights
changed by a command from the M1 itself. In other words; The ELK-M1XZW and the M1 Control do not
know if the state of a device has been changed by another controller such as a handheld remote. Likewise,
another controller or a handheld remote will not know if the device state has been changed by the M1 and
M1XZW. This is a Z-Wave issue and it is hoped that Z-Wave will remedy this in the future.

Glossary of Terms ........................10 APPLICATION: The ELK-M1XZW is a Z-Wave manufactured radio transceiver attached to an Elk Data Bus Interface. It is designed to allow an M1 Controller to interface with Z-Wave enabled devices. Z-Wave technology is a wireless bi-directional communications network consisting of devices such as: Plug-in Dimmer Modules, Wall Mount Switches and Dimmers, Plug-in Appliance Modules, etc. -

If a device is permanently removed, the enrollment process must be performed after removal in order to un-enroll the unit and thereby prevent a "missing" trouble condition. ELK-M1XZW Installation Manual Page 3... -
Page 4: Overview - Important Things To Know
Elk-M1XZW, including Elk Keypads, and Elk's Virtual Keypad software cannot remain in-sync with the true state of Z-Wave devices if their state is not broadcast or available. This is not unique to Elk. Other manufacturers of Z- Wave controllers face the same dilemma. One might think that a periodic polling command for status would provide a solution. -

Within 5 or 10 seconds the display should change from "Sending" to "Wait" then "Send Complete" when the download or copy has been successfully completed. If the "Send Complete" message is not shown then it may be necessary to repeat the steps again. ELK-M1XZW Installation Manual Page 5... -
Page 6: Testing The Operation
Using an ElkRP Rule to Control Z-Wave Device(s) Using ELK RP Remote Programming Software, Automation Rules can be written to control Z-Wave network devices. These include but are not limited to Lights, Dimmers, Appliances, Thermostats, and more. The following are some typical rules utlizing Groups, Scenes, and Nodes. -

Appliance or switch nodes have a state of off or on within a scene. Follow each of these steps for every Node. When finished with a scene press OK a second time. To exit or quit press the C key. ELK-M1XZW Installation Manual Page 7... -
Page 8: Removing (Exclusion) Of Nodes From A Group Or Scene
It will clear groups, scenes, names, and will delete all modules from the network. NOTE: The ELK-M1XZW does not need to be manually reset as it will automatically erase each time the data from a handheld controller is "replicated" or copied down to it. -

At the present time, Z-Wave devices ONLY respond with their status to the specific controller that commanded their change. Secondly, Z-Wave devices DO NOT respond with their status when a Group or Scene command is issued. Z-WAVE DOES NOT BROADCAST STATUS CHANGES TO OTHER CONTROLLERS WITHIN THE NETWORK.
