Mopeka and other Bluetooth Tank Sensors

Given that version 3.62~2 of the OS addressed some issues with Mopeka (and other BLE) tank sensors is it please possible to add high level and low level alarm functionality in the Venus OS for these sensors.

Surely the tank sensor simply sends a value to the GX device / OS which can use this value in exactly the same way as it would for an analogue tank input?

Other than the obvious connection differences requiring a different settings page for the “device” I can’t see why the tank sensor page within settings can’t be the same as for an analogue sensor?

This would make the grey and black tank functionality in my RV useful. At present I bought expensive Mopeka sensors and GX device and still have to check the screens to determine if my tanks are nearing full.

You can do this via VRM, most alerting is done at this level and not directly on the GX itself.

Hi Nick. Found the access to set alarms via VRM. Thank you.

It must be said, it’s a little odd and very inconsistent to be able to access and configure some, but not all, tank level alarms via the console and having to access and configure others by other means, i.e. the VRM.

Surely a consistent approach would be nore user friendly?

Nick.

I’ve just installed beta 3.70~6 and the issue has been addressed and fixed.

Thank you devs

The team has also addressed my request to fix the 4 tank levels and centre info on the brief page.

Again thank you devs.

I’m super happy. My system now behaves as I’d hoped.
