Remote (WIFI) Propane Tank Monitor

dpg · 01-23-2026, 12:48 PM

Has anyone had a propane tank monitor installed which you can check levels with on your phone? Any suggestions of a company why installs them, looking for Moultonborough. Amerigas wanted to install one for a rental fee I told them no. I own the tank, it's not rented and don't want to pay a never-ending rental fee for something I can buy. I suppose I can call them back and see if they sell them just that their a PITA to deal with.
Would appreciate suggestions if you know of someone.
Thanks!!

Not quite what you are asking for, but if your tank has a mechanical dial gauge like the one at our cabin, an outdoor security camera might do the trick relatively cheaply and easily? No, we don't have one on our tank, it just seems like it might work. :-)

Our tank is owned by Amerigas and they added their monitor/gauge a few years ago. Don't know the manufacturer but I can find out for you. It's works pretty well and it's really nice knowing from afar what the level is. They didn't charge us anything for the gauge (but we do pay a rental fee for the tank).

Thanks DesertDweller anything you can simply find out would be appreciated.

I have also thought about a blink camera, I already have a few in the yard. The gauge has a dome type cover over it so I'd have to somehow mount it inside that. I assume(??) it would work ok in complete darkness which it would be underneath the cover.

Remote monitoring is a standard feature with Irving propane when your on one of their “automatic” refill programs.

They monitor the tank & you can also monitor online.

Irving Oil has had one installed on our tank for a few years and we can access the result online.
