Looking for ways to extend Indigo to support additional hardware or new functionality? Want to integrate your home automation with other software (iTunes, iCal, Security Spy, etc.)? Need to see some example Indigo AppleScripts to help you get started?

Below are some great user contributions for integrating Indigo home automation with different devices and software. Additionally, some of these are excellent tutorials-by-example, so fire up your Script Editor application (inside your Applications/AppleScript/ folder) or other editor and see how they work. If you write a script, application, or plug-in that might be useful for others, then please submit it.
