I don’t understand why curable blindness is a thing. Why don’t governments step in and help? Even if you’re thinking purely from a financial standpoint it’s hard to see how they don’t roi on taxes from people being able to work again.

Mopeka Pro Check Sensor (Amazon Affiliate) - https://amzn.to/3kh42a5
Double Bottle System Cavagna Regulator (Amazon Affiliate) - https://amzn.to/3Ha8aSc 
In this video, I'm sharing my experience of how I was able to monitor the levels of propane in my RV's gas tanks in real-time using smart sensors and Home Assistant. I used sensors from a company called Mopeka, specifically the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor, which is an ultrasonic sensor that can be placed on steel or aluminum tanks and communicate via Bluetooth. I also added a clever double bottle LPG system, which automatically switches to a backup tank when the first one runs out, and I used two of the Mopeka sensors to monitor both tanks.
