About the URC and E27 Integration

URC and ELK Products have created an integration between Total Control®, URC’s award-winning residential and commercial automation platform, and the ELK E27 alarm panels. This module allows for two-way control of the ELK E27 alarm panels via all of current URC touchscreens, handheld remotes, phones and tablets. Using URC touchscreen interfaces, homeowner and commercial managers can easily arm and disarm ELK E27 alarm panels, check the status of any zone in the current partition, read through the logs and much more.

With URC’s use of geofencing, homeowners can automate several actions that offer peace-of-mind when entering or leaving garages. URC’s Total Control and ELK’s E27 systems can be integrated to automatically arm or disarm the system, trigger auxiliary outputs, run tasks, trigger the functions keys, send a text message to the LCD on the code pad and trigger lighting as the homeowner nears or closes when leaving the property.

Also, this new integration provides a number of events that can be used for more advanced automation, like activating the security sensors to trigger lights. In addition, there are events for the current arming status (Disarmed, Armed Away, Armed Stay, etc), the arming status (armed with Exit timer, Ready to Arm, etc), the alarm state (Burglary, Police, Fire, Entry Delay, etc) and the system state (AC Fail, Battery Low, Comms Failure, etc).

Key benefits include:

• Peace-of-mind from Anywhere – Confirm the ELK security system is active from any room with Total Control and URC controllers
• Simplified Automation - Secure the entire home with a tap or voice command by creating home automation Scenes. Example scenes include a “Leave Home” or “Goodnight” scene that would activate the ELK’s E27 security system, close the garage doors, lock the front door, turn off lights, and adjust the thermostat.
• Voice/Hands-free Control - URC’s voice commands through Alexa or Google Home feature enables security system access as well as all other smart building features.
• Unified Control - Use URC’s Total Control system for all-in-one control of the entire smart home -- lighting, thermostats, locks, security cameras, and more.
