Hello,
I can get the ‘estimated’ gas consumption from my boiler in m3 and can apply a 1.83kg/m3 for the propane. I’m looking to show the current gas level (using a 4No. bottle total and then deducting the daily gas consumption. This way, it will help me show when i’m down to one bottle etc.
Any ideas? I’d rather do this rough calc than buy any sensors that have been taken by the gas bottle delivery team before…
Thanks
Nathan
Put this into a search engine:
site:community.home-assistant.io weight sensor
Appreciate that but I don’t want any hardwired sensors
The sensors would be weight sensors, meaning you put the sensors under a sheet of plywood and set the cylinders on top.
I use a weight sensor for the bottle and the amount of CO2 gas. Using esp32 and the weight sensor including taring, it monitors the amount of CO2 gas.
I don’t want to use a physical sensor, when I can get the gas consumption from the boiler… x 1.8 to get the kg. Just need a logical way of getting it to auto deduct from the ‘full’ value
This is done by using the gas consumption from the boiler and converting to kg… deducting from the gas bottle levels. Just need to work on the tank graphic 0-100% for each one…
