HomeSeer Remote Outlook Calendar Programs
These programs allow you to access your Outlook
Calendar from HomeSeer. Your Outlook calendar can reside either on your
HomeSeer computer, or on another computer accessible on your network.
There are several programs and scripts included. A server (tenOutlookServer.exe) that
must run on your Outlook
computer, a web page (tenHsOutlookCalendar.aspx) that runs on your HomeSeer
computer. This allows you to access your Outlook calendar from any
computer that has access to HomeSeer. There is also a HomeSeer script that
can be run via a HomeSeer Event. This script (tenCalendar.vb)
creates a calendar (in an html table) and places it in the DeviceString of the
specified HomeSeer Device. You can then view your calendar from the
HomeSeer Status display, or use the DeviceString value in your web pages, touch
screen panels, etc.
tenHsOutlookCalendar.aspx and tenCalendar.vb are intended to be used to access your Outlook calendar from
your various display panels (HsTouch, etc.), or from a web browser. It is
NOT a full blown Outlook interface, and only provides simple calendar selection
and display. For a more full-blown interactive Outlook interface that
allows you to update your calendar and trigger events based upon it (as well as
view mail and tasks), you should
look at the pjcOutlook plugin
available for sale from the HomeSeer Updater. While tenHsOutlookCalendar
only allows simple calendar embedding and display, it does allow you to access
Outlook running on a computer separate from your HomeSeer computer (and it's
free).
The web page (tenHsOutlookCalendar.aspx) generates a simple, scrollable html
table containing your Outlook appointments:
The Calendar script (tenCalendar.vb) generates a scrollable html table containing
