Basic help getting my daily agenda on a control page

Post by hughjc »

I have little applescript experience and less with python. I have been successful at editing scripts to get them to do what I need. The one element of my control page I can not figure out is how to get my daily agenda displayed on the page.

I use Outlook for my calendar although I can sync it with iCal if necessary. Is there an easy way to capture today's events with start times and have them display on a control page? I don't need tasks, just my schedule. Any help would be appreciated.

Indigo doesn't currently supply a multi-line field type, either in variables/device states or on control pages, so it's more difficult to display variable-length information like that. We do have that on our feature request list for some future version of Indigo (not Indigo 6 though).

I believe some other users have figured out various ways to display multi-line text so maybe one of them will chime in.

One direction I am trying is to set up a webpage that I export my daily agenda to every 30 minutes or so and then use an external url field on my control page that calls that page up. My project for the weekend...
