Another LPG tank level option? #42

Hi Magnus

I am still looking for a way for your project to include gas tank level monitoring.

This sensor uses BLE https://www.mopekaiot.com/product/mopeka-pro-sonar-tank-monitor and they are well priced....

And there is python code available: https://github.com/spbrogan/mopeka_pro_check

I know there is a separate HA integration for this device (requiring a ESPHome device), but perhaps you are interested in including it in your code so everything could run on one (RP2040) board?

For my own use case, I would like to add a gas level monitor (just a warning LED) to your micropython code I am using to control the Truma heater. Actually, I am not sure micropython includes the RPi BLE SDK yet?

Hi Andy,

unfortunately I don't have any experience with the sensor and also none with BLE communication. It could certainly be integrated into the package. You can also find examples with the leveling package and the TRUMA DuoControl integration.

I hope you understand that I provide the basis for MQTT communication and LIN bus control, but cannot develop the add-ons myself. But I will gladly support you if you want to integrate a module. You are welcome as a contributor.

Best Magnus
