The Smartest DIY Home Improvements

The ELK-M1XZW is a radio transceiver interface 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, Motion/Occupancy Sensors, and HVAC Thermostats (coming soon). The M1XZW interface functions as a Z-Wave Secondary Controller OR as a Z-Wave Static Update Controller (SUC) for holding the Z-Wave system setup programming. The interface connects to the M1 RS-485 data bus and is enrolled and identified as a Type 5 Expander. As such, it may be remotely located anywhere along the RS-485 data bus within the maximum stated distance limits. The housing is designed for wall mounting and includes mounting screws and anchors.

Once stock is depleted, the ELK-M1XZW will no longer be available. The original Zensys (Z-Wave) radio component that is used in this product has been discontinued. ELK's circuit board is not compatible with the new Zensys (Z-Wave) radio and they have no plans to redesign the product.

M1 Controls can still integrate with Z-Wave products through the use of the ELK-M1XSP Serial Interface and the Leviton ViziaRF+ VRCOP (RS-232 Interface). The ELK-M1XSP requires a special version of firmware for integration with Z-Wave that is available at www.elkproducts.com.
