Battery Value Always Matches

[randy]

Thank-you Randy, I was imitating your example from an earlier posting (see below). I'm a little slow but after reviewing it wasn't sure why I needed to logic wise to declare the same thing twice (thought maybe it had something to do with HS quirk(s)). As this is not the reason, I think I will remove the AND IF's as they do not add any value and would reduce the Event size. Mike

"Yes. An IF or OR IF is a Trigger and is ignored. You can still use those triggers within your event so it will run autonomously, but if you also add an additional AND IF condition to each trigger that matches the trigger, it can run autonomously or manually with the conditions honored.

What I was referring to is that those conditions allow the event to be run manually from another event, if you are not going to do that they can be removed without hurting anything.

Did I mention "slow"... thanxs for the expertise and advise, Mike

On a similar topic, I came across another script similar to the one posted here, (see attached) that I like as well. Unfortunately it is printing as integer, I tried to change it as decimal but still print as an integer value. Can anyone please help me figure out where in the script to change the value to appear as 9.2 instead of 9

I'd start by dimensioning BatteryStatus() as Double. If it's an integer it will not be able to hold the decimal part of the value.

Dim BatteryStatus(100) As Double

Also, use DeviceValueEx to retrieve the value. (DeviceValue returns an integer)

BatteryStatus(i) = hs.DeviceValueEx(Device)

Thank you very much , it did it.
