Tank Check

About this app

This application requires a special bluetooth device.

More info about the TankCheck Sensor can be found here: http://mopeka.com/



This application is designed to be used with the Mopeka TankCheck sensor. The Tank Check application can measure the LPG propane level to tell you the exact fill level and when your tank is empty. It can be used on tanks found in RVs, heaters, BBQ grills, etc. The Tank Check sensors are magnetically stuck to the bottom of your propane tank and will periodically measure and wirelessly send the fill level or percentage to the Tank Check app. Stick it on the bottom of your tank and know exactly when you are running low on propane! This technology is patent pending.



Usage:
1. To pair your Tank Check sensor to the phone, simply press the "Sync" button on the back of the sensor while the app's main screen is visible. The first time you use your Tank Check sensor you must press the "Sync" button 5 times in a row in order to wake up the sensor.
2. Place the Tank Check sensor in the center of the underside of the tank. Most tanks have a small "flat" spot on the center and this is the nominal location for the sensor.
3. Flip the tank over. Once the fluid has settled the app will display a reading. Note that the LPG fluid will be sloshing around in the tank for a few minutes and the quality of the measurements will be low until this has stabilized.

Ratings and reviews

App works great. Simple, clean, and responsive. Definitely need to make sure you have a clean tank outside AND inside. Make sure to allow your tanks to settle after applying. Also be sure to allow app permissions it asks for - Location= Bluetooth stuff. Would get 5*s if it had the ability to set up once daily level notifications at a time I choose and have a method for graphing tank usage over time. Only issue I have run into is the sensor leveling function does not work. Nice job otherwise dev!

The app and device works so far. I have two complaints. One: the app really wants you to register and I have no desire to do that. Exit and restart to get past registration. Two: the instructions are *too wordy* and not straightforward. They can be simplified to this: a) sync the app and device by pressing the activate button on the device 7 to 10 times, b) clean bottom of tank, c) put a pea-sized dab of grease between the magnets on the device, d) place device on bottom of tank. Done.

Works great. I was apprehensive due to some of the 1-star reviews, but it's clear that some of them didn't read the instructions. Your tank has to level and still for an accurate read. Setup took 2 minutes. Honestly, some of these reviews... Who mounts a propane tank on the front of their vehicle?!? The CIA isn't after you; location services have to be enabled for low-power Bluetooth to work.
