Hi guys.
I currently use Elve from Codecore technologies but due to lack of development I have decided to look elsewhere.
I am very interested in Domoticz but I was wondering if anyone was using it with an Elk M1 Gold security/automation system?
Thanks guys.

Bumping this thread to see if there has been any progress on Elk M1 Gold panel integration with Domoticz.
Usually this is done by a plugin for the host system (Domoticz in this case) that then communicates to the Elk (via a IP socket) which has a protocol that provides status updates on sensors and outputs and takes input to control outputs and other functions.
I would possibly be interested in developing such a plug-in (etc) but it appears plug-ins are a beta feature for Domoticsz.
There is a Perl implementation of the Elk M1Protocol (ElkM1::Control) that may be well suited to implement an interface to Domoticz.
If there is anyone that can point me (or others) in the right direction to implement this (if it has not been implemented already) that would be helpful.
A minimum implementation would be to read the sensor status from the Elk M1 Zones. Controlling panel outputs would be the next step.
Other functionality would be great but a lot could be done with just Inputs and/or Outputs.
