I just checked and the scripting add-in is available from

http://freespace.virgin.net/julian.cable/DGscript.html

There is some documentation with it and some example scripts. If you
just want to trigger an event/switch a device then you won't need to
write to any files. I use some of my scripts to get programme
information into Homeseer. You can, of course, use this mechanism to
start everything up if homeseer can control your TV, etc.

I do this by using the Digiguide vbscript interface. You can set
digiguide to run vb scripts in the scripting.ini file based on different
triggers, e.g. programme starting, reminder fired, etc. I write the
relevant data to files and then execute a homeseer command line (e.g.
"hsc.exe -x t10 on" from the .vbs that toggles a device on.
Homeseer
then runs a script to pick up the information from the files. A bit
convoluted I know but it has worked flawlessly for nearly a year. If you
need any assistance with this let me know.

Has anyone figureds out a way to make a Digiguide reminder alarm to
trigger an event in Homeseer...i.e. I set an alarm on Digiguide to
remind me to watch "Home Front" say (!), and this then triggers
Homeseer to quickly switch my front room lights on and off ?

TIA!
