jacdx Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Howdy guys,Finally getting around to installing my ELK-930. What I have: standard doorbell w/cool LED doorbell (http://www.lumens.com/True-Illuminated-Doorbell-Button-by-Spore/uu304272/product). I want to add an ELK-930, wired to a C4 controller and delete the doorbell from the equation. I want doorbell announcements via C4 only make sure the doorbell illumination still works. All the diagrams I can find involve keeping the doorbell in the mix. Anyone know how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSDave Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The easiest way would be to just use a relay. instead of the elk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_ Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 OP - What would you do if your C4 system went down though? It's usually up and running but if you are not on 2.0, it crashes sometimes. Also, say the controller needs service or replacing for any reason, you may be without it for 2-3 days while it is replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegizzard Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The easiest way would be to just use a relay. instead of the elk.I thought that the ELK930 was needed to ensure that the doorbell light works properly. Is there a wiring guide for connecting a doorbell to a contact or relay without a elk930? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
