In addition to the above Controller commands supported by the Elk, there are a number of

"Queued" commands that are also available for the Elk. "Queued" commands are normal tasks

supported by controllers such as Send X10, Play IR, and Set Digital. The standard "Queued"

commands such as the ones just listed are available by using the appropriate PowerHome

functions or macro commands (such as ph_x10, ph_ir, etc). To access the non-standard queued

commands supported by the Elk, use the PowerHome ph_ctlrsq function. An example of arm to

away in area 1 with a usercode of 1234 would be: ph_ctlrsq("ELKCTLRID",121,"1234",1,1).

 Arm and Disarm commands - 121. User Code in parm1, level in parm2, and area in
