EDIT, after some searching online it appears a recent android system update has caused some apps to have all notifications blocked on phones do to a missing "opt-in" prompt when accessing app for 1st time after update. I tested this claim using an old galaxy note 8 I keep as a spare that hasn't been updated and it shows notification options in the app settings. In light of this I'm bring back to 3 stars until the issue with up-to-date phones is fixed so I don't have to keep 2 phones running

Overall a nice app. Worked instantly upon setup and is displaying a remaining oil level that generally matches our analog meter. Did not need professional set up with my personal experiences. Unable to use either a Google Pixel 3 XL or 3a XL to connect to the 2.4 Ghz band network. Had to find an older Android phone to complete the set up. If you encounter a "Network Not Found" error on a 2.4 Ghz band, use a different device. 4/5 stars for not being compatible with a highly popular phone line.

I absolutely love the info this provides, and the app is much more polished looking than I would think such a niche app would be. My biggest gripe is that the graphs dont seem to allow you to go forward or backward, so the only thing you can see is today, or this week. Also, getting the module to talk to my network was a bit of a pain, but that was my fault to some degree. FYI to all, read all material sent before setting it up. You might need to follow the alternate directions! Otherwise, great

After using it for 8 months now it's still very inaccurate. Doesnt update very often even though it's on the most update setting. I find after a month it updates but seems to barely change even though my whole house runs off oil. Right now it says half way but I'm pretty sure it's lower than that. And I can't remove it bc I screwed it in pretty far thinking that was the issue. Other than that if I can get it working it would be the best investment ever!

I wish to have two improvements, (1) Google Assistant support, although email notification would do required job (2) Manual reading trigger from app... might not be realistic as it might significantly increase battery usage. (Update) - I had a problem that app shows two tanks because of retrying setup, but tech support immediately removed the old one if I asked. It would be better if I can remove my mistake from app right away though.

Great meter showing graphs of usage that I can read anywher in the world; Just wish that it was more accurate; Ultrasonic wave may need error adjustment when reading oil.
