Examples

Display the current tank level as a gauge

The example below uses the common gauge card in the frontendThe frontend is a necessary component for the UI, it is also where you can define your themes. [Learn more] to show the tank level with colored severity bands.

type: gauge
entity: sensor.my_propane_tank_level
name: Tank Level
unit: "%"
needle: true
severity:
  green: 30
  yellow: 15
  red: 0

Data updates

The CentriConnect/MyPropane integration pollsData polling is the process of querying a device or service at regular intervals to check for updates or retrieve data. By defining a custom polling interval, you can control how frequently your system checks for new data, which can help optimize performance and reduce unnecessary network traffic. [Learn more] data from the API every 6 hours.

Known limitations

The tank monitor only provides new data 2-3 times a day so more frequent polling is not configurable.

This integration exposes all the data provided in the API but not all data about the tank configuration shown in the app is exposed in the API.

Troubleshooting

Before reporting an issue, enable debug logging and restart the integration. As soon as the issue recurs, stop the debug logging again (a download of the debug log file will start automatically). Additionally, download the diagnosticsThe diagnostics integration provides a way to download diagnostic data from a device or integration for sharing in issue reports. Sharing diagnostics data when reporting an issue allows developers to diagnose and fix your reported problem quicker. [Learn more] data. Once you have collected the debug log and the diagnostics data, include them in the issue report.
