Currently Halso Smart Meter is not available for those homes without broadband however we are developing a GSM version for those properties that do not have access to the internet.
Halso Smart Meter works using ultrasonics measurements and transmits a Halso to your Halso Smart Meter hub connected to your broadband. You may place your Halso Smart Meter Sensor on your oil tank up to 200m from your Halso Smart Meter Hub. It should be noted that obstacles such as walls, re-enforced walls, metal objects or metal buildings can however reduce this range.
Halso Smart Meter is designed for all types of heating oil tanks. It is suitable for both old and new plastic and metal tanks up to 3m in height. Many tanks will have an existing 32mm pre-drilled hole which you can mount your Halso Smart Meter Sensor to. If your tank does not have the pre-drilled hole select a suitable location on top of your tank and drill a hole using a 32mm hole saw.
Halso Smart Meter has been designed to monitor diesel fuel, kerosene, gas oil types A2, C1, C2 and D as defined by BS 2869. Halso Smart Meter can also be used to monitor other liquids such as water and Adblue but for suitability please check with us.

Halso estimates the number of days until an order is required based on the oil level readings it receives from your usage. If you are currently not using much heating oil this can cause your ‘Days until Empty’ to show as a long way off, however when you start to use heating oil again Halso will receive this information and the calculation will adapt.
