Re: Outlook talking to SliMP3 &/or Homeseer...

[justin@xxxxxxx]

You could use the HomeSeer object from within a VB script. e.g:

set hs = createobject("homeseer.application")
msgbox hs.version
hs.geturl "jukebox:9000",
"/display?p1=Test%20Message&p2=From 
20Homeseer&p3=5",TRUE,9000

Were there any spare SliMP3 players? (I *must* have one. NOW! :-))
