    Noobie Scripting help

    Trying to do a very simple script do do the following.

    1) compare the humidity from the Nest thermostat to the humidity of the bathroom.
    2) Record the Nest Humidity every hour to a virtual device

    I am completely new to scripting. here is what I started with but it does not change the value on the virtual device.

    Sub Main(params as object)

    ' sets value of ambient humidity Device
    hs.SetDeviceValue(421,hs.DeviceValueEx(419))

    End Sub

    3) after this I would like to compare the Master Bath humidity to the NEst value when the master bath value changes. If it is over a threshold value i would run an event.

    No idea how to do this. Want to learn. Any help would be appreciated.

    Not as fun as writing a script, but the Easy Trigger plugin can do this in an event.

      Are you seeing an error in the log? Try changing the function to:"
      hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(421, hs.DeviceValueEx(419), True)

        Thanks Profit! I would like to see if I can get the script to work. Would allow me more freedom to mess things up in the future.

          It worked for a minute then i tinkered and tried to get two devices values from two other devices.

          Sub Main(params as object)

          hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(421, hs.DeviceValueEx(419) True)
          hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(423, hs.DeviceValueEx(369) True)

          End Sub

          Now i get these errors.

            Here is the new script:

            Sub Main(params as object)

            DIM HumidDiff as integer
            DIM HumidAmb as integer
            DIM HumidMB as integer

            'HumidDiff difference of the ambient and Master bath Humidity
            'HumidAmb Ambient Humidity
            'HumidMB Master bath Humidity

            HumidAmb = hs.DeviceValueEx(419)
            HumidMB = hs.DeviceValueEx(369)
            HumidDiff = HumidMB-HumidAmb

            hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(421, hs.DeviceValueEx(419), True)
            hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(423, hs.DeviceValueEx(369), True)
            hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(424, HumidDiff, True)

            End Sub

            Only error that i get is:

            In device utility postback: Conversion from string "424,424" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

            And when it runs it seems to run 5 times. Device 424 is a virtual device that just shows the humidity difference. Any help is appreciated.

              How are the humidity values reported?
              Try changing the declaration of your variables to Double rather than Integer.
              You could also try adding these lines just before the hs.Set commands:
              hs.WriteLog("HumidDiff", CStr(HumidDiff))
              hs.WriteLog("HumidAmb", CStr(HumidAmb))
              hs.WriteLog("HumidMB", CStr(HumidMB))
