    VenusOS now supports the Mopeka Pro Check-Water and Pro Check-Sensor LPG, which are BLE-based ultrasonic sensors for monitoring liquid levels in tanks. These sensors attach to the tank bottom via magnets and transmit data, including level, temperature, and battery voltage, to a GX device within a 10-meter range.

    Detailed Steps for Connection:

    1. Ensure your GX device has Bluetooth capability, either built-in or added through a standard USB Bluetooth adapter.

    2. For Cerbo GX units with a serial number up to HQ2207, it’s recommended to use an external USB Bluetooth adapter to avoid connection issues due to internal CPU temperature affecting the built-in Bluetooth.

    3. Connect the Mopeka Pro sensors via Bluetooth to the GX device. This should be straightforward if the GX device has Bluetooth functionality enabled and is within range of the sensors.

    4. Once connected, the sensor data will be available on the GX device for monitoring.

    Note: Only the Mopeka Pro Check-Water and Pro Check-Sensor LPG models are compatible. Other Mopeka sensors, even with Bluetooth, will not work with VenusOS.

    Compatible USB Bluetooth Adapters:

    • Insignia (NS-PCY5BMA2) – Ewent EW1085R4

    • Logilink BT0037 – Laird BT820

    • TP-Link UB400(UN) – Laird BT851

    • Kinivo BTD-400

    • Ideapro USB Bluetooth Adapter 4.0

    By following these guidelines, you can effectively integrate Mopeka Pro sensors with your GX device for reliable tank level monitoring.
