I found this today while searching for a contact sensor and thought it would be interesting to use.
Elk M1 Z-Wave Interface.
It plugs directly into the Elk alarm panel apparently, and reports over the network.
Any chance of it working with Vera?
The Elk Z-Wave interface is very limited if you want to tye the Elk into Vera a better solution would be tcpip and a plugin
I was actually looking at the system before and was thinking about just doing it through the serial connection.
