Looks good; glad someone else is making use of it. Are you getting that propane price remotely or is that something you are manually entering?
The cheapest propane I found around here is $1.99 a gallon. My company is boning me at $2.70.HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)

They are talking about -30 this weekend, hopefully that doesn't happen
Last time the power went out at around -20 and the generator didn't kick on
I manually entered the propane price
I modified your code to retrieve the device id so I shouldn't have to touch the code again (or until their API changes)
I wonder how much work it is to create a plugin. I'm not a vb.net guy but can work my way through it, more or less

I don't think their API will change much. It is published, so usually if they were to modify it, they would add to it. I think I read there was talk about reporting battery status. That can be kind of tricky.HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)

The ability to temporarily increase the reporting frequency would be a nice touch. Something that basically says "Decrease time between reports to X hours for the next Y reports." As someone mentioned if you're running on generator you may want a bit more vision into how you're doing if it is an extended power outage. Or just look at the gauge I suppose... but what fun is that?

I think there is a spot on it which will cause it to issue a reading if a magnet passes over it. Might be possible to have a little electro magnet fire from HS. Maybe a 9 volt battery might be needed...HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)

You can retrieve a list of devices associated with your account. Here's the documentation: http://apidocs.tankutility.com/#devices
Or you could set up 3 separate scripts with unique names for each measure
I only have one tank so my script doesn't iterate over the devices
