Elk Products

Moose Products, Inc.  was a company at the forefront of innovation.  With products such as the Z1100, MPI-II, MooseAlert, CH12, MPI 25, MPI 50, and the JDS 100, the company established a position as the top producer of security system that became the industry standard.  However, the future of Moose Products was cut short when the company was sold in 1987 to Aritech, later to become part of GE.

When Wade Moose, company founder, got back into the industry, he rehired the original Moose engineering group with a goal to surpass their past achievements.  The only problem was what to call the company.  Playing on the Moose name, an employee suggested a close relative and Elk Products was born.

ELK Products, Inc. designs and manufactures premium quality electronic equipment for the professional security and automation installer. ELK’s product line includes: controls, recordable messaging annunciators, speakers, sirens, timers, batteries, transformers, power supplies, relays, structured wiring cabinets, test tools, & accessories.

The owner and core group of product design and development engineers have been in the industry since the 1970's and together since the early 80's. This talented team continues to improve industry standards by utilizing cutting edge technology, inventing new, attractive housing designs, and incorporating the highest quality materials to ensure long life products with zero defects.

Intermatic:  InTouch

Intermatic has built upon the Z-Wave view of the network, with its new InTouch system that allows the creation and use of network level applications. These InTouch Applications view the network as a whole, as a unified entity within the home. The InTouch Applications move networking commands beyond a script of individual instructions, into a network-wide information service and distributed processing system. Rather than having one PC that constantly needs to request and react to changes in a device’s or group of devices’ status, any device can ask the network to tell them when status has changed. InTouch Applications can merge scenes together into a new scene, collect trend data, tell the user when a device’s battery is low, that a door opened, today’s weather, stock quotes or whatever else they request.

With the InTouch network at the center of the home, the slave devices are given more responsibility and some of the burden is taken off of the controller. The network as a whole reacts to an input or command. Each device does its own part to execute the command or gather the information, with the controller responsible for compiling or directing that information. This reduces the processing power required in the controller to get the task done. Many simple slave devices have a large portion of their processors unutilized. This is because both the Z-Wave code requirements and the application code requirements are simpler for a slave than a controller. This unutilized space can be used for advancement of network level applications.
