This is the one app I use most and every day.
Jayson's Ekeypad suite has been not only my favorite app personally but has given many customers at my company full access to their Elk M1 Alarm controls when far from home. As we are now progressing towards IP cameras such as Mobotix the IP camera integration also makes this app priceless. This kind of integration helps us sell more Elk and Mobotix systems and we hope to help Jayson in his development of this awesome iPhone app. His support is same day and right on target. Thanks Jayson! David at Keyth

Great security & C-Bus control app!
Excellent app for controlling my home security & lighting. A bit pricy compared to so many other really great apps, but for what it does I am very happy with it. I am now looking to try new technologies in my home that this thing can work with :)
Looking forward to all the upcoming updates! Bring them on!!

Expensive but worth it
I was skeptical before buying this app, but it is worth the money if you have an Elk M1 system. Now I don't need an Internet connection to see the status of my system, view and change thermostat settings, change lighting settings, determine if I left a garage door open (and then close it) or see my indoor & outside temperature probes. Also, no waiting on hold for customer support; Jayson answers your emails promply (he must never sleep).

Works as advertised and worth every dollar!
I was initially hesitant to spend $99 on an app to control my Elk M1G alarm panel alone but Jayson has worked hard to make this Pro version and I'm happy to say its worth it. I have owned the Elk M1G alarm panel for a couple of years and always wished I could easily arm it if I forgot..now I can! I also have a serial interface connected to a UPB interface and I'm able to control my lighting from anywhere in my home or in the world as long as I have a 3G or wireless connection..its that simple after the initial setup.
I bought this app two days ago and initially had a few problems with some of my light switches not reporting back the proper status but it was a simple solution by reprogramming my light switches with a setting that is by default set to "off" on some of the Simply Automated UPB switches which Jayson told me how to do, all emails sent to him thus far have been replied to within hours and I appreciate the support.
I also have five temperature sensors connected to my Elk panel and they work 100% with this app and their is a setting for Celsius which we need in Canada. I have 4 Axis cameras also and have programmed a couple into eKeypad Pro and it works fine but I have made suggestions to Jayson about how to possibly even make it better and it sounds like he already has it planned...for now configuring and accessing the cameras works 100% I just suggested a few cosmetic improvements as well as a different refresh scheme.
It was pretty cool the first night walking a 1/2 mile away from my home and looking towards my house I could switch on a light, I tried today from over 2 miles away while on a walk and when I got home sure enough the light I sent the command was on..this all can be done very easily by configuring your Elk M1G secure port so you can access it from a service like dyndns.com which provides a FREE dynamic DNS service for you so you can access your alarm panel from anywhere in the world as long as you have a connection to the Internet and you will be able to arm/disarm your system as well as do other actions that your Elk M1G can perform locally..its like a Super Wireless keypad for your alarm panel.
I look forward to new versions and any new features that get added but right now I'm not having buyers remorse and for the control I have of my home alarm system and lighting alone is easily worth what I paid, thanks Jayson for a well thought out product.

This is just the greatest. Controlling numerous panels from your iPhone and sensational for testing purposes. Fast email help if needed and the camera snapshots via IP servers are exceptional. A great work tool and selling aid for automation.
New IP camera feature is great
I have Panasonic BL-30a and BB-HCM371a cameras, and they both work great in eKeypad Pro thanks to the latest update. Thanks Jayson! Now I can check on my alarm system and IP cameras while I'm away, from one convenient app. If you have an Elk M1 gold system, I highly recommend this app.
