Mopeka PRO+ Long Range Ultrasonic Wireless Propane Tank Monitor For Residenti...

March 2025: Changing back to 5-star for customer service. Upon seeing the January review, customer support reached out directly and after reviewing my device, has offered to replace it. I truly appreciate the above and beyond service of this individual. ========== Jan 2025: Changing from 5-star to 1-star. I'm sorry to say this device only worked for a year and it is not an inexpensive gadget. In December, it stopped working because it needed a new battery, so I bought the special lithium battery. It couldn't be installed without the pea-size special Mopeka brand of sonic grease, so I bought that direct from Mopeka and it took 3 weeks for them to deliver. (It was 4 very small tubes put into the mail and yet took 3 weeks.) The device will not reinstall no matter what I try, so I sent an email to Mopeka support over a week ago and surprise surprise, I have not heard back. Not very impressed with any aspect of Mopeka right now. If I do get an answer or somehow get this reinstalled, I will update this review again but at this time, my previous recommendation of a buy has turned into a don't bother. ========== Nov 2023: Installed the Mopeka Pro+ on a 1000 gallon LP tank. You activate the monitor then find the right spot on the bottom of the tank and it attaches by magnets. Seems to have a strong hold. It took a couple of tries to get it in the right spot but you can "level" your final position so don't let that take you down. I know I'm working with an uneven tank so the perfect level won't be there but once I found a central spot that matched with my tank level, I reset the "level" in the app so that it recognizes the install. Looking at the gauge on my tank with the fat arrow, I would say 75%. App says 74%. So I felt good with that. I also chose the antenna with a 5' cord, just in case. I don't think it necessarily needed it but I had to dig out from under the tank so wanted to make sure the antenna didn't get effected underneath. My tank is about 40-50 feet from back of house and router is on second floor on opposite side of the house. Connection has been strong, no issues here. I will follow-up with a review in a couple of months to verify the level readings have stayed accurate as well as comment on how it holds up during the winter months. Feb 2024 Update: Over the winter, I checked the gauge on the tank to compare to the app about every 2 weeks. The app worked great to notify when the tank hit the designated percentage and every check on the tank to compare to the app was accurate. Never had any issues with wifi or connectivity. Winter was mostly mild then had a few weeks of sub-zero temperatures with 30+mph winds and severe wind-chills (in rural Illinois). The Mopeka stayed strong through it all. If there is anything worth reporting over the summer, I will update again. Otherwise, no news is good news from me.

This is a very convenient device to have on your tank. Not too difficult to setup. Battery life: Its still working after 1.5 years.

This item solved a 5 year journey on how to monitor a remote Propane Tank for a vacation home. Easy to set up, and mobile app works perfectly. Does require the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi bridge for remote, off-site monitoring. Allows me to request deliveries when the tank hits a selectable level to provide notifications. Works like a charm! Well done, Mopeka!!!

I originally gave this two stars. After considerable repositioning and one 1,000 mile trip from my winter residence to work with it it does work. The position sensor indicator in the app showed proper location, but the results were spotty. I kept moving it around with little in the way of dependability. I ran out of Mopeka grease and had nothing on hand other than some silicon brake lube. Gave it a try and the sensor has performed properly since. I am back at my winter residence, and when checking, get consistent readings. Before the readings were all over the place. Anywhere from 2% to 100%. I don't know if it is the grease, but that is the only thing different. I believe it to be trustworthy.

1. Never reads accurate. 2. Doesn't work over 40' away. 3.Customer support sucks. Only thing they teach their agents to say is put more grease over the sensor when you attach the device to the tank. 4. You only get notified if you open the app and are standing next to the tank. At that point you minus well just look at the gauge on the tank. 5. Your buying a $200 magnet.

Amazing product. Super easy to set up. Having the cell version allows quick and easy access through the app. Expensive, but worth it.

Works as advertised. 500gal tank set approx. 60yrds from house and no issues with connection. Accuracy seems to match the gauge on tank within 1%. Takes a day to settle in/calibrate.

My Pro Plus sensor is still working like a champ after 13 months before the AAA Lithium Energizer batteries finally needed to be replaced. So that's how long the battery life was for us. I bought 2 more Energizer AAA lithiums to replace the originals. The replacement process was relatively easy. There are instructions provided by the company, and also YouTube videos showing how to do it. The placement and calibration process can be a little confusing and awkward, but I used their app on my phone to do this. It does take some testing to get the sensor placed in just the right spot. But even then I don't think the reading is ever really going to be 100% On Target. I've just made it a habit to call my propane company when my mopeka measurement comes in under 20%, which is a setting I can make in the mopeka app. The app will then send me a warning message to let me know when the tank goes below 20%. The Bluetooth range has been fine for us. The tanks are 20 feet from the house and our house is 37' x 30'. We've had no issues with the communication and readings from inside the house. I had only 1 problem where I needed to contact Mopeka. I seem to recall last year that they were not very responsive to email, but a phone call was successful. The person on the phone was very professional, friendly, and helpful. If you are experiencing problems, it's worth a call because the remote monitoring feature is really a valuable thing to have. And one last note, I would not cheap out on trying to save money for two batteries. I would only recommend replacing with the identical Energizer lithiums. We are planning to add the Wi-Fi Bridge soon so we can monitor the tanks while we are away on vacation.

Have been using for about 6 months and it works very well.

This sensor is very accurate. Easy to install. The only issue is it's range is limited to Bluetooth, meaning your phone has to be within roughly 50' of it to get a reading. Game changer is when you add a mopeka hub to your system. It 'talks' to the sensor and is connected to your local network which allows you to monitor your tank level from anywhere as long as your phone has a data or wifi connection. Game changer when you're away want to monitor the tank level.

Bought this for a 500g tank and it did not work at all, just shows empty status no matter how much adjusting. Didn't even get a chance to test battery life in the cold, which I expect to be rough at -30C+. I also ordered the Wi-Fi bridge separately, directly from the mopeka website. They sent me another one of these sensors by mistake. They responded to my original email asking for support in some sort of exchange to fix the problem, then went silent since. About 3 weeks now. Pretty disappointed overall. Ultimately if it doesn't work on my tank, the poor support is a moot point.

Worked for 15 months, but has now stopped reporting. Tried resetting it and remounting it. It is detected but reports tank as empty (it is not). Perhaps need more ‘sonic grease’ to reattach but that is not available except in USA. Will try some other dielectic grease to see if that fixes problem.

It's great when it works immediate updates. Doesn't work well with gateway from mopeka. App forces you to use Bluetooth when you are away and still doesn't connect. Gateway looses connection with tank reader. Need to pair them again after a power loss to gateway. Emailed vendor about a month ago, did a follow up no response. Don't recommend it unless you are only using Bluetooth locally.
