    Request for new device - Value

    First, thanks for another great plug-in! A nice convenience to see my Bitcoin balance without logging in to a website.

    Would it be possible to get another device created to display the actual value of the Bitcoins? Or, could you show me how to put it into a script to display the Value in a device? That way we can see the actual dollar amount in whatever currency we are tracking, in my case US Dollars.

    Right now I have: Balance and BTC/USD
    I would like: Value (BTC/USD * Balance)

    Thanks
    Bryan

    create a "Balance USD" device like this one:

Name:	balanceusd.jpg

    then create an event like below that will update the "Balance USD" device value everytime the Bitcoin balance or exchange rate is updated:

    here is the content of bitcoin_balance_usd.cs

    Code:
    public object Main(object[] Parms)
    {
        int balanceUSDRef = hs.GetDeviceRefByName("Balance USD");
        int balanceRef = hs.GetDeviceRefByName("Balance");
        int BTCUSDRef = hs.GetDeviceRefByName("BTC/USD");
        double balance = hs.DeviceValueEx(balanceRef);
        double BTCUSD = hs.DeviceValueEx(BTCUSDRef);
        
        hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(balanceUSDRef, balance * BTCUSDRef, true);
        return 0;
    }

      Thank you very much!

      At first I couldn't get the answer to be correct...I kept looking at the script and finally found the typo.

      This line:
      hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(balanceUSDRef, balance * BTCUSDRef, true);

      Needs to be:
      hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(balanceUSDRef, balance * BTCUSD, true);

      Once that was fixed it works perfect!

      Thanks again!

        ooops sorry for the typo
        I had checked that a value was set to the "balance USD", but not that this value was correct.
