Smart Oil Gauge - Wi-Fi Heating Oil Tank Gauge with Smart Monitoring - Fuel Tank Gauge Compatible with Alexa - Designed for 275/330/500/550 Gallon Tanks (Vertical/Horizontal)

Update: 5 years now and I will need to change the batteries again soon. The accuracy continues to be very good. I have run the tank nearly empty and the delivery driver said I probably had about 5 gallons left. I show off the graphs to people whenever someone mentions probably needing oil. At least two have then gone out and bought their own. Update: After nearly two years it is still working well. I changed the batteries once, after about 18 months, and it just continued where it left off a few days earlier. I probably check once a week in the winter. I have email alerts set up for 1/4 and 1/8, refilled, and high use. In the winter I burn up to five gallons a day. The 1/8th notification is about a working week in the winter. I ignored it once and learned how to bleed the oil line and restart the burner. The gauge accurately reports level when empty. This has done everything I expected, or wanted. This is a very satisfying piece of home automation. My two favorites are this and the WiFi garage light switch, I use that more, but this is more important. Seems to be working well. I have no clue how accurate it is, but I am sitting at my desk 60 miles from home and I know I have 193.6 gallons of oil in my 275 gallon tank. Even if I was standing looking at it I couldn't know that. I expect it is within ten percent, I won't have any way of knowing until I get more oil delivered, and that won't be for some time. If I don't report back then the numbers must have matched quite closely. The only problem I had with it was nothing to do with the product, installation would have been easy if some fool hadn't walled in the tank, so I had to stand on a ladder and stretch along the top of the tank. Other than the awkward position the installation was easy. I linked the gauge to WiFi in the comfort of my living room and then went down into the basement. I unscrewed the plug from one of the two spare skin fittings and carefully cleaned the old pipe dope from round the hole as I went, don't want to drop that inside. I liberally coated the threads with good quality thread compound that is rated for oil pipes and then carefully threaded the gauge in and tightened it down with a pipe wrench. Returning to the lounge I found that the tank was reporting 100% full... well... that's because it only measures a few times a day. Realistically you can't make any use of a more frequent measure so why waste the battery power. After six hours I checked again and found I was down to 209 gallons. Over the next few days it went down to 208. Apparently I use about 0.3 gallons per day in the summer. Who knows that sort of thing? I can even see the higher rate of use in the morning when we have showers.

I am new to oil tank and it’s in my basement I have an issue with going to the stairs. The smart oil gage is very easy to install. You set it up and it tells you every so many hours how filled your tank is and it’s pretty accurate. It works like a charm. It’s very simple to read the graph and even sends you notifications when you get to low.

To be honest I loved the idea of a smart oil gauge. I started building my smart home back in 2012. A smart oil gauge was a awesome addition. I bought my first one in Sept 2017. It didn’t last. Last reading from that unit was 12-20-17. First off the device is very fragile. According to the instructions they want you to thread this into your tank without too much force. The gauge of the metal is very soft. My wrench dug into the metal too easily. Next once installed it seemed to work but for 2 weeks it kept saying that the tank was full and that I only used a couple Gallons. Actually it never changed even when I ran out of fuel. I will say this. The company did everything they could to help at the time including replacing that unit. They told me that there were a few units that went out to Amazon that were defective. I got a replacement in 2018 So now I got a replacement and guess what it didn’t fare that much better. It worked for about 7 months and then it died completely. Don’t know exactly when it died because it just kept showing the same fuel levels until Oct-13-2018. I thought it was batteries and drove over an hour to a store to but these special batteries only to find out it still didn’t work. I got emailed back and forth and spoke to someone on the phone and they kept trying to have me trouble shoot my WiFi connection. I’m a network engineer and I told them that I took a voltage meter and tested everything on the board as well as the battery compartment. No voltage anywhere. It was dead. I never heard from them again. My picture for this review is from Nov 2 2020. That where I left it. Piece of junk. The bad think is that there aren’t a lot of option on the market that can do what this claims. If they made a better product they could rule to industry. Just a side not I actually ordered another one recently. for mere kicks to see if they have made any improvements.

Smart Oil Gauge - The story below explains why I bought a Smart Oil Gauge in February 2026. The Gauge is CONSTANTLY checked our oil level it will also send alerts by Text or Email. I needed help from Tech Support. Hunter was very thorough and professional. Set up and installation was very easy. Now I just look at my iPhone from ANYWHERE to check the level. The device also gives a selection of Fuel Oil Companies and the Current Prices in your area. Remember if you like being warm BUY this device it works... On the other had if you prefer FREEZING because of Fuel Out don't buy this device We have run out of oil 2 times (Christmas Eve 2022 and Saturday January 2026. Both times the weather was VERY cold...not fun. The first time our oil company would not send anyone out till after Christmas. I bought Diesel Fuel (SAME AS OIL BURNER FUEL) at gas station and bought ~ 6 gallons. Second time company sent a service person with 10 Gallons. We did get a full oil delivery after my wife explained that we would run out again by Monday...THEY DID DECIDE TO DELIVER ON SUNDAY

This product is only for US. It will only work in US, as the app is only available in US. Amazon mistakenly shipped me this to uk, and I’ve had to return it.
