Yeah I was gonna say, camera on the fuel gauge was one suggestion from
this list in the past.

Some are. Others are hall effect sensors which need 5v and output a
voltage.
I've had some customers hook up the output of these to a voltmeter or
shunt input with reasonable results. What I've had in the queue is
a module set up specifically for these sensors and which reports
percent directly.

Holy cow, it looks like I should get around to finishing up the
$59+sensor ($50ish) add-on module for the sitemonitor system....
Didn't realize these were so expensive.

Generac 7005 Propane Tank (LP) Fuel Level Monitor - WiFi
enabled
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KJBLV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cqtsCbZ22K84X
The only down side is it has to connect to a 2.4ghz SSID
with no security enabled. So we engineered the WiFi AP to
only accept that MAC address and only hand out 1 ip to that
device and then fire walled everything so the monitor could
only talk to their cloud. Basically the device has a
battery in it and it turns on once a day for a minute and
pushes its data to the cloud so you can access it on their
free AP or website.

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
gauge, but not sure what sensor to plug into them.
