Getting sick of always wondering how much propane I have in tanks especially in winter. Does anyone have any experience with this?



Just ordered it so we’ will see how it works out

I have the same system although I do use a fair amount of LP running the generator.

I always have extra bottles so I never get caught running out.

If I think one bottle is getting low and its cold at night I'll switch to the full bottle before going to bed and switch back in the morning.

Ditto. I have been using them for at least 2 years.
My only complain is they eat batteries.

I have that system also and it works ok IF you mount the sensors properly. It does NOT work for my TCs 30lb horizontal tank.

Might not help, but I keep one tank turned off. That way if I run out I know I have a tank left. My TC has two 30 lb tanks.

Yes, it would mean that I would have to get up in the middle of the night. My setup doesn’t use that much, so I rarely have run out.

I have that system and it works great. You just have to make sure you have it set to the correct size tank to be accurate. Where a lot of people error is having the app set to 20lb. tanks when the sensors are on 30lb. tanks.

And hard to remember the last time when I had the tanks filled. Started to write it down but that didn’t last too long lol.

I usually don’t use the auto change over and keep one tank closed for fear of a leak developing and losing all my propane :0
