NAME
    ElkM1::Control - a module allowing control of the ElkM1 Security / Home Automation system.

    ElkM1::Control is a set of modules which provide an API for communication and control with the ElkM1 security and home automation system. This package contains no user-runnable code, but is an API with which you can build applications that can communicate with the Elk. With this package you can command the panel to do anything you could do at the keypad. You can also recieve messages when certain events occur on the panel such as a zone being violated, a task activating, etc. 

    This package requires the use of the Elk ethernet module. It is very possible that this could be easily ported to use the serial port. I'd welcome patches to make this happen.

    This system can use either the secure port (2601) or the insecure port (2101). See the use_ssl option in the new method of ElkM1::Control.  

PREREQUISITES 

    This package requires IO::Socket::INET and IO::Socket::SSL modules.

HOW TO BUILD
