PRO+ Long Range

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.

Bought these for 2 propane tanks, 1000 gallon and a 500 gallon. The unit on the 1000 gallon tank went on easy and is accurate. My 500 gallon tank has a seam in the center on the bottom of the tank. I bought the seam adapter but could not get a high quality connection or accurate reading. I was able to get a good connection near the end of the tank just past the seam. It is not perfectly level but has a high quality (3 star) connection and is reading the tank correctly. The blue tooth signal on these units is very strong especially when the using the external antenna. The tank without the external antenna is about 200 feet from the house and the other tank with the antenna is about 500 feet and both are able to communicate with the wifi unit.

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!!!

Simply does not work. 500 gal horizontal tank. Blocks leave about 12” open space underneath. Followed instructions exactly. Once installed, showed tank empty despite having over 80% full. Repositioned multiple times, no change. Useless.

I wasn’t sure about giving it a 4 or 5. But thought 4 because of a few issues of connectivity to the WiFi bridge. I needed this because we head south for winter and that’s when there is the highest use of propane (500 gal tank). I got the extra antenna but it still doesn’t get a signal to the bridge when it’s in the basement, although only 100 feet from the tank. So for winter while we are away I move the bridge upstairs inside the front door and it works great. I’ve been able to monitor the propane use all winter from 1500 miles away.

This device is a game-changer. I live in the northeast. I didn't feel going out in the cold to check the propane tank that provides heat for my house. I didn't feel like removing all the snow to get to the gauge. But I really want to know how much propane is in my tank, especially when there is a storm coming in. This device solved all those problems! Easy pairing: Download the (free) app, push the button on the sensor, and it's paired. It uses high-power bluetooth, just like your headphones, but with a much larger range. Easy installation: Put some acoustic grease (included) on the sensor head and magnetically stick it to the bottom of your tank. Done. Easy calibration: The app has a leveling screen to ensure that your device is level on the bottom of the tank so that the device is as accurate as possible. Just slide the device around on the bottom of the tank until the dot (in the app) is in the middle of the target. No subscriptions required! This device works directly with your phone. If you're worried about someone else knowing how much propane is in your tank, the data never leaves your devices. Not sure why your propane level would be a security concern, but, hey, it's your data and your privacy. Downside: You need to be within about 100-300 feet (depending upon terrain, walls, etc.) to get data from your tank. No problems if you're near your tank all the time -- this device is perfect for that use. However, if you want to be able to monitor your tank levels from a remote location, you will need their wifi bridge device (https://www.amazon.com/Mopeka-Check-Bluetooth-WiFi-Gateway/dp/B07KN68QGC/). An account with Mopeka is required for the bridge device, but it is free. I also bought the bridge and love it.

Awesome product! Super simple to set up, works from a long way, away. Percentage/levels are spot on! Many features

Works well. I had hoped that it used wifi but it is only wifi. Guess you have to buy the "bridge" in order to use it that way. Bluetooth does work well however. My tank it about 150 feet away and I have no problem communicating via Bluetooth

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.

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

I live in rural are and depend on propane for a lot of things with 2 tanks, 1000 and 500 gallons. I bought 2 of these Pro+ Long Range units hoping the 1000 feet claim would be true. My 2 tanks are about 250 feet apart with the house and garage in between. Connecting both sensors and locating them under the tank was easy, a few minutes per tank and I had a reading that corresponded to the tank gauges. Installation took place during fall. From the start, there were communications issues. I could get a signal from the bedroom for the large tank (about 30 feet) . I never got a signal from the second tank inside the house. Even from outside, I had to be within 100 feet from a tank to get a reading. Not impressed. Fast forward to January. No signal from either tanks even if I get close, like 2 feet, from the tanks. So much for the 1000 feet long range. Since it's BT I didn't really believed it but I thought I'd be good at 1/10th of the range. NOT. The sensors were installed with fresh alcalin batteries. Mopek claims a 5 years battery life in harsh conditions. Average here during winter is -20C with spikes down to -40 -50. That qualifies as harsh conditions. I'll crawl under the tank when springs come to check the batteries. Notwithstanding if it's the batteries or not, the end result is that this just doesn't work as advertised and I'm back to digging to get to the tanks to take a reading after spending 500$ to avoid doing that.

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.
