How to simply trigger an event from an ASP page?

[Bill Brower]

I would like to be able to trigger an event from an ASP page. The event would be called Close Garage Door. Would anyone be willing to post a quick (if quick is even possible) code snippet on how to do this and I will take it from there.

&lt;HEAD&gt;
&lt;/HEAD&gt;
&lt;BODY&gt;
&lt;%

select case Request.Form("submit1")
case "Close Garage Door"
hs.triggerevent("CloseDoor")
Response.Write "Door Closed"
end select

%&gt;

&lt;form name="main" action"_self" method="post"&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" value="Close Garage Door" id=submit0 name=submit1&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/BODY&gt;
&lt;/HTML&gt;

Thanks Rupp, I need to do something similar and that will help me get started.

I can adapt most anything, just need a little direction and I hate reading things out of books.

Thank you, AGAIN, Rupp.

Rupp's method gives you complete control of your form processing but if you don't mind HomeSeer handling the form data, construct you form with field names that HomeSeer recognizes:

&lt;form method="POST"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="run_event" value="CloseDoor"&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" value="Close Garage Door"&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

More information in HomeSeer Help: 8.6 - Controlling devices and events from your own pages

My example is a little different than the trigger event example in the help page in that it allows the button's text to be different than the event's name that it triggers.

This is working out better than I could have hoped for my my new Sprint PCS color phone!
