Can a TankMate R3W WiFi sensor send a reading at any time?

Modified on Sat, 8 Feb at 4:41 PM


No. Readings are controlled by a timer onboard the TankMate sensor.


The sensor is in a deep sleep mode most of the time, and cannot be accessed by the app directly. The sensor only connects to the WiFi network briefly, several times per day. 


By default, the R3W sensor sends an updated level reading every 12 hours (twice per day). This can be adjusted in the mobile app under Settings > Sensor/Tank Settings > Update Frequency. The highest reading frequency possible is 15 minutes.
