Distance or level is measured at the source. An edge device buffers and forwards readings over the internet. WellSenseOS stores them for your tenant and presents dashboards, analytics, and alerts.

Why remote access matters

  • Fewer manual inspections
  • Historical data instead of memory
  • Multiple tanks and sites in one place
  • Alerts when thresholds are crossed
  • Forecasting days remaining from usage
  • Optional Home Assistant sensors for automations alongside the cloud portal

Connectivity and reliability

Edge agents are designed to send readings when the network is available. Plan for local power and Wi‑Fi (or suitable networking) at the install. SoftAP first-boot provisioning is covered in the setup guide.

From level to decisions

Remote monitoring is most useful when raw level becomes litres, consumption, and days remaining — the same story as tank monitoring and consumption monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be on-site to see water levels?

No. After the edge device is online, the WellSenseOS portal shows live and historical levels from any browser session you are signed into.

Can I monitor multiple sites?

Yes. Devices belong to your organisation tenant. See multi-site monitoring.
