Drop of (%)

Within (min)

Warn if the sensor goes quiet

After (minutes of silence)

The sensor posts every 15 min. 90 means six missed posts — long enough to ride out a Wi-Fi blip.

Checking…

Sensor API Key

Sensor posts POST /api/cistern/readings with header X-API-Key and body {"distance_cm": 110} or {"level_percent": 55}.

Log a manual reading

A backstop for when the sensor is down, or to check it against a dipstick. Manual readings never trigger an auto-order.

Auto-Order Water

Texts the hauling company on your behalf when the tank runs low, then tells everyone it did. Work down the ladder — each step behaves identically, only who receives the text changes.

Mode

Dry run logs the exact text it would send. Rehearsal sends that same text to you at the real trigger moment. Armed sends it to dispatch.

Confirm over (readings)

How many sensor readings must agree, spanning at least 30 minutes, before ordering. Survives a single bad echo.
