Home Assistant sensor component for cryptocurrencies

Powered by CoinGecko API

Provides Home Assistant sensors for all cryptocurrencies supported by CoinGecko

If you like my work, please buy me a coffee or donate some crypto currencies. This will keep me awake, asleep, or whatever 😉

Installation step 1:

There are 2 ways to install cryptoinfo:

1. Download 'cryptoinfo' from the HACS store
2. Copy the files in the /custom_components/cryptoinfo/ folder to: [homeassistant]/config/custom_components/cryptoinfo/

Installation step 2:

The next step is to add cryptoinfo to your configuration.yaml. You can do that in 2 ways:

1. Copy and paste the values from this configuration.yaml and adjust it according to your needs
2. Copy and paste the values (and adjust according to your needs) from the configutation you see next

Example config:

  sensor:
    - platform: cryptoinfo
      id: "main wallet"                (optional, default = '') add some extra naming to the sensor
      cryptocurrency_name: "ethereum"  (default = "bitcoin")
      currency_name: "eur"             (default = "usd")
      unit_of_measurement: "\u200b"    (default = "$")
      multiplier: 1                    (default = 1) the currency value multiplied by this number
      update_frequency: 15             (default = 60) number of minutes to refresh data of the sensor

For the complete list of supported values for 'cryptocurrency_name', visit this page: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/list and copy / paste the "id" value to use as 'cryptocurrency_name'

For the complete list of supported values for 'currency_name', visit this page: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/supported_vs_currencies and copy / paste the value to use as 'currency_name'

Attributes

There are 9 important attributes:

• base_price This will return the price of 1 coin / token in 'currency_name'(default = "usd") of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• 24h_volume This will return the 24 hour volume in 'currency_name'(default = "usd") of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• 1h_change This will return the 1 hour change in percentage of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• 24h_change This will return the 24 hour change in percentage of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• 7d_change This will return the 7 day change in percentage of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• 30d_change This will return the 30 day change in percentage of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• market_cap This will return the total market cap of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin") displayed in 'currency_name'(default = "usd")
• circulating_supply This will return the circulating supply of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")
• total_supply This will return the total supply of the 'cryptocurrency_name'(default = "bitcoin")

Example for usage of attributes. This example creates a new sensor with the attribute value '24h_volume' of the sensor 'sensor.cryptoinfo_main_wallet_ethereum_eur':

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      cryptoinfo_main_wallet_ethereum_eur_24h_volume:
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.cryptoinfo_main_wallet_ethereum_eur', '24h_volume') | float(0) | round(0) }}"
        unit_of_measurement: "€"

If you want to know the total value of your cryptocurrencies, you could use this template as an example. This example combines the total value of 3 sensors into this 1 template sensor:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      crypto_total:
        value_template: "{{
          ( states('sensor.cryptoinfo_main_wallet_ethereum_eur') | float(0) | round(2)) +
          ( states('sensor.cryptoinfo_bitcoin_eur') | float(0) | round(2)) +
          ( states('sensor.cryptoinfo_cardano_eur') | float(0) | round(2))
          }}"
        unit_of_measurement: '€'
        friendly_name: Total value of all my cryptocurrencies
