PowerHome2 & Elk M1 Gold Manual

1.2 Using PowerHome2 to transfer Insteon information

1.2.1

In PowerHome2 open Insteon Explorer and navigate to the Elk M1XSP tab.

1.2.2 Type in the COM port that you're using to communicate to the M1XSP. If the

COM port being used is the same COM port used by any PowerHome2

Controller, then you must first uncheck "Controller Connected" in the File menu

before continuing.

1.2.3 The first sub- tab, “PowerHome”, will show you all of the devices that are defined

within PowerHome2. Go down the list and assign a number from 1 to 192 in the

"Elk ID#" column. This will equate to the

Elk lighting device ID. If you do not

wish to have a particular device loaded to the Elk, leave this field blank.

1.2.4 Select the "Programming Method" from the box on the left and then press the

"Load" button. The devices will be transferred to the M1XSP. Existing Insteon

device values will be overwritten with the new data.

1.2.5 From the "Elk

/ M1XSP" sub-tab, you can retrieve what is currently stored in the

M1XSP and directly make changes without directly pulling data from

PowerHome2. Once the data has been retrieved from the M1XSP, you may pre-

populate the PowerHome Elk ID# by pressing the "Copy" button. You can make

manual changes or combine information with PowerHome2 and then save the

changes back to the M1XSP.
