I do this with a simple hall effect and an arduino leonardo/dragino shield board which allows me to also watch battery on the generator and charger output. I monitor temp in generator room and Co2 levels which will activate an exhaust Fan at certain levels. The other room is where all the

What solutions exist to monitor propane tank levels remotely? I've got an off-grid site with three 100 gallon tanks. The propane guy setup the manifold such that the tanks should drain sequentially, but I'd like to monitoring/chart them remotely. Each tank has a R3D
