FAQ

Why is this product exciting?

Monitoring and automating propane levels is extremely important for backup generators.  The customer can be warned when the level is too low via notifications, emails or even an audio announcement.

When this happens the dealer can programatically conserve energy by switching off unnecessary loads to ensure criticial systems remain operating throughout the power outage.

How does the customer get informed of the current level?

We developed an experience button which provides feedback in 5% increments.  This gives the customer visual feedback on any Control4 navigator of the propane level at any time.

Where can i purchase the hardware?

The propane level monitor can be purchased from Tank Utility (https://www.tankutility.com/).  It is a battery operated wifi based device which can be installed easily on any Rochester Remote Ready Dial (see installation guide for information - http://installdocs.tankutility.com/)
