Very neat. And the fact that Victron enables systems like this to be integrated is impressive.

When I got a proper WiFi sensor for my two 3k gal cisterns working, I was just as excited as you!

What sensor did you use for cistern monitoring @michaelhess4825?

New selfy stick? DJI. That is really sweet. You can monitor your tank like that! It's cool stuff, man.

Nah, just a go pro stick. Little hand held one. Thanks! Too bad I only found out AFTER winter…

Job well done, Adam! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Coal!

Even though their website does say sonar, It's probably ultrasonic, the grease helps the sensor get a good interface to the tank. I might have to look into one of these for the propane tank for my generator, good video.

Yeah, that makes sense. I wana say I saw references to “ultrasonic” in a couple places. Thanks!

Hey, just thought I would say hi and to let you know I have a full how to install and configuration episode out tomorrow. Step by step over 45 minutes long of an AC coupled Victron to Fronius Primo. Cheers @OrganicPower-Australia

Awesome! Looking forward to it! Thanks for the heads up!

Adam, good morning. Firstly, thank you for all of these informative videos. I remember a few months back watching one of your videos where you talked about a company that you purchased your PV wiring for a really good price. I can't seem to find that video. If you could let me know the name of that company, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks! I guess it might depend on if you’re looking for actual PV wire or if you’re looking for wire to run in conduit to the house from the array. So here’s a link to my website where I’ve got different wire listed: going-off-grid.com/cables-conenctions/#wire. I know I bought a lot of THHN from a company on eBay and that was all the wire I used in conduit from the array to the charge controller. If you need actual PV wire, I bought a lot just on Amazon from various places.

That’s awesome Adam! By the way, how are the Multiplus 5000 inverters doing? Any issues with running your whole house?

@AdamDeLay07

Thanks Bruce! Everything’s just running. I only have a few things that aren’t on the Victron system and that would be the AC, Dryer, Oven and the Barn. The nice thing that I’ve seen is when the inverters are “overloaded” they switch over to grid seamlessly and you never know. Then when the load drops below the programmed level, then it switches back over to battery power.

Good job

Thank you!

Adam, if you have a 3d printer I'd print some ledges/eaves? to glue to the sides of the tank to preven water running all the way around the belly of the tank to the sensor. like mini roofs? idk if i'm making myself clear.

Oh yeah! I just wish I would have gotten all this done before winter... I spent too much time last summer "playing solar" and didn't get enough wood to run our boiler, so we were stuck running the furnace (and making treks to the tank to check levels).

ADAM, GREAT 👍 👍

Is there a way that this sensor can be used to measure the fuel of a diesel generator?

@AdamDeLay07

2 ай бұрын

I’m not sure if this specific one can, but I know I’ve seen different options for water or other fuel sources in the settings. So I know they have them.

How long does the battery last? Maby you have to go out there to swap the batteries 😅

@AdamDeLay07

Ha! I hope not! The listing says with the Lithium battery it should last 4-6 years. I guess time will tell…

5:19 damn it’s for above ground tanks 😢

Sorry about that. Makes me wonder if they have other ones for underground tanks? Not sure what would have to change for them to be able to mount the sensor at the top of the tank. Seems like it would have to detect the empty space vs the volume of propane?
