Propane Tank Fuel Gauge

    Request More Info

    This project will show you how to build a propane tank monitoring system using off-the-shelf sensors, the Notecard and Swan. The system measures tank weight and pressure, and synchronizes readings to Notehub for cloud reporting. Notehub Environment Variables can also be used to set weight and pressure thresholds for sending alarms and notifications from the device to cloud.
