PowerHome2 & Elk M1 Gold Manual
1.2.6 When done, just disconnect the cable from PowerHome2 and reconnect the
Powerlinc to the M1XSP and you are ready to control Insteon devices from the
Elk. **Note: If the Elk does not seem to track Insteon status properly when it is
locally controlled, you will need to program the Insteon Device ID’s into your
2414S as well. This procedure is outlined in the Appendix.
1.3 Adding the Powerlinc (2414S) as an Insteon Device in PowerHome2
In the steps above you have pushed Insteon device information into the Elk M1XSP not
the Insteon Powerlinc (2414S). If your Elk does not seem to accurately track Insteon
devices that are locally controlled, you will also need to add the device ID’s to the Elk’s
2414S. See the Appendix for this procedure. If you are already using PowerHome2 to
control your home automation with its own Insteon controller (PLC or PLM), you probably
want PowerHome2 to know what Insteon commands the Elk is sending. To do this
simply add the Insteon Powerlinc Controller connected to the M1XSP as an Insteon
device in PowerHome2. You can either do this through the Insteon Explorer’s Devices
tab or through PowerHome Explorer||Devices|Insteon|Units.
Once you’ve added the Elk’s 2414S as a device, PowerHome2 will know what Insteon
commands the Elk has transmitted.
