Great package. Lots of functionality for low cost.

With this system, you get a lot of functionality for less than other home automation systems.

I purchased this system to replace an existing ADT system on a lake home. We wanted the ability to call in and remotely manage the system, including the ability to adjust the thermostat. I left the door and motion sensors in-place, removed the ADT panel in the basement and wired the sensors to the Elk M1G. Everything worked as expected.

The ElkRP programming software is easy to use, but I'm an IT guy - less tech-savvy users may not find it as user friendly. The rules engine configured via the ElkRP software is very customizable. You could quite literally program this system to just about anything. I have a more difficult time thinking of applications than how to program it. Of course, I'm not using it to do anything more than be the alarm system and control the thermostat.

The tech support from Elk Products has been great. [...]
