Wireless Level Monitor Buying Guide: 7 Key Questions to Make the Right Choice
Target Audience: Procurement Managers, Engineering Technicians, Home Users

Question 1: What is your installation scenario?
Selection Advice: Rooftop tanks (outdoor, no power) need solar power solutions; indoor fire tanks with power can use mains power; deep wells/underground require IP68 protection.
▶ HojellyTek solar+battery solution perfectly adapts to outdoor no-power scenarios.
Question 2: Which measurement principle should you choose?
Selection Advice: Non-contact (ultrasonic/radar) is superior to contact (submersible/float). Contact sensors are prone to scaling and jamming; non-contact never contacts liquid – maintenance-free.
▶ HojellyTek uses ultrasonic non-contact measurement – never clogs, maintenance-free.
Question 3: How to solve power supply?
Selection Advice: Priority order is Solar > Mains > Pure Battery. Pure battery requires frequent changes; mains needs wiring and fails during outages; solar offers flexible deployment and long-term maintenance-free operation.
▶ HojellyTek solar+battery solution – installation location unlimited, automatic charging during daylight.
Question 4: How to choose signal transmission?
Selection Advice: If installation location has good WiFi signal, WiFi is low-cost and easy to deploy. If signal is poor, consider LoRa or separate sensor/main unit design.
▶ HojellyTek uses separate sensor and main unit design – position main unit where signal is strongest.
Question 5: Is the protection rating sufficient?
Selection Advice: Outdoor installation needs at least IP65; possible submersion requires IP67/IP68.
▶ HojellyTek main unit and sensor are both IP67 rated – completely dustproof, can be temporarily submerged.
Question 6: Is the alert mechanism comprehensive?
Selection Advice: App-only push notifications may be blocked by Do Not Disturb mode. Choose products supporting multi-channel alerts.
▶ HojellyTek supports App push, SMS, voice call alerts via Tuya platform.
Question 7: What is the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
Selection Advice: Don't just look at device price – calculate 3-5 year total cost including device + installation + maintenance + potential losses.
▶ HojellyTek may have slightly higher initial price than pure battery products, but no wiring, no maintenance, and high reliability make long-term TCO optimal.
How to verify product reliability?
- Read real user reviews, especially long-term feedback
- Confirm CE, RoHS certifications
- Check if separated design solves signal issues
- Verify App ecosystem supports multi-user and multi-device management
- Ensure protection rating meets installation environment requirements
